Blew it yesterday

Well, I blew it last night. During a VERY stressful call with my sick mother (whom 1400 miles away) I consumed 3 beers and 5 servings of Keebler Fudge Sticks. Thank goodness my DH intervened and took the cookies from me. I would eaten the box without even realizing it.

So, I was 800 calories over for the day. However, I know that today is a new day and I can't beat myself up for what I did yesterday; only learn from it and move on.

    Don't beat yourself up. I usually give myself one cheat day. I would go crazy if I didn't. I don't even log on that day.

    That's the right attitude!

    And now you are aware of one of your triggers, perhaps next time you could go out for a walk instead of heading into the kitchen?

    I did worst. I had 4 beers, chicken wings, and carrot cake. Sure was a nice stress relief from a crappy week of work and the usual close attention to diet and exercise. Back on track today though.

    Shake it off hun, move forward as you seem to be doing... I've removed any foods from my house I might be tempted to comfort eat. Yet I still seem to find a way to eat things I shouldn't at times.
