I need to get over myself!

Sheenas_grace

Don't beat yourself up. We have all done it. Since the 4th of July I haven't logged anything b/c I feel guilty about all the bad things I have been eating, but today I have decided to get back up and start again..

We are going through a challenging experience trying to lose weight and get fit. We just have to keep a positive attitude and rely on others to help us when we are down.

Just remember if you make a mistake acknowledge it and move on to the next decision your going to have to make. There is no use in dwelling on the last mistake.

If you log what you have eaten you will know what areas you are venerable in.

I hope this post is helpful.

This is awesome. I keep mine private. This life change is for ME and not anyone else.

I love the motivation and support of this site, and I like getting advice too...but only if I ask for it or if it's friendly and sensible. I have said before that I am an emotional eater. I have problems with anxiety and depression, and there are times when criticism can set me up for a binge. Even if the criticism is about my weight . Sounds twisted, but it's a mindset I've had for years, and one that I'm working on changing. Maybe one day I'll be ready to "go public," but for now I'm happy doing this for me and me alone.

Besides, if someone wants to see my diary that freakin badly they can send me a message! LOL

You, like myself and a lot of other women I know, are too hard on yourself. It’s okay to have fast food once in awhile in my book. Some people might disagree, but that’s okay. Not everyone sees eye to eye on many things in life. What’s important is that you stay on track and that you continue to feel good about yourself. If keeping your food log private is what makes you feel comfortable, then do that. I do think that most people that use this site are very understanding of how hard it is to lose weight and very few people eat just salads everyday. Everyone’s progress and journey is different and you should be proud of your success so far!

To be honest, I seldom look in other people's diaries, it just doesn't interest me that much. Plus a lot of my MFP-friends are in different countries and we would not have the same food products here, so half the time I don't even know what it is they log.

I log everyday, but sometimes, especially weekends, I find it near-impossible to log everything, just because we're out for dinner or lunch and I wouldn't have a clue about the nutritional contents. I just don't bother logging in those cases. As long as I'm accurate 80% of the time, the odd time that I don't log properly doesn't bother me.
