    You need to get out go for a walk & don't think about that doctor. Just because they are educated does not mean they know EVERYTHING!!!! Some of the smartest people I know are completely dense. You know you are not hungry and you are making yourself feel worse eating. We all care about your feelings here so your doctor is outnumbered!

    You mus have a doctor you are comfortable with... considering weight is a major health issue, you need to feel respected and understood by your doctor. Plus, this is a person you need to trust with information you might not tell anyone else, and if you can't be honest it could affect your health. Switch! Trust me, I am a doctor!

    Call someone who you know cares about you and vent! Maybe they can talk you through your feelings until you feel more in control. That has helped me in the past.

    eat an apple if you must. if you're not hungry for an apple, then youre not hungry.



    I say this to myself a lot, if I must, ill eat some carrots, if I dont want the carrots Im not hungry. I think twice I actually ate the carrots.

    You've lost 136 pounds! Tell your Doc to stuff it!

    That's what I say too!
    You are doing amazing! Its ok that you kinda screwed up today. But seriously you are doing so good! Keep up the great hard work and dont worry about today. Just ignore your stupid Doc and concentrate on yourself and your happiness. Start fresh as of right now

    Same thing happened to me in October. The new doctor focused on my weight, not my weight loss. She complained that she wouldn't prescribe a weight loss pill for me since I'm unwilling to change my lifestyle. I was there for my annual physical, never asked for a weight loss pill, and excitedly told her I lost 40 lbs since January by reducing processed foods while increasing fruits and vegetables. I was so disappointed and frustrated afterwards. Unfortunately, I let her get to me and gained 20 back by December. :( Since then, I've been trying to focus on positive things like the cute clothes I was wearing and how great I felt as I was losing last year.

    why is it that you ate 820calories, and are 40 away from being at your goal for the day; i mean, isnt that a good thing, to get to your goal for the day?? Who cares if your a bit over; you wont gain cuz you went a lil over; youll only gain if you go 3500calories over your maintenance level of calories; so your 4500calories + away from gaining 1lb. do not fret about some small number. sometimes eating maintenance calories for a day anyway boosts your body back into gear and helps you loose quicker afterwards.

    eat an apple if you must. if you're not hungry for an apple, then you're not hungry.

    I like this, I think I need to carry an apple around and keep repeating that to myself when I want to eat junk!

    I seriously carry an apple with me all the time. I keep it in my purse along with a high fiber bar. It has kept me from going thru many a fast food drive thru / in (I used to LOVE Sonic & was my place of choice). I don't leave home without them or my 32 oz. water bottle. Just had to share that; I chuckled when I read the apple comment!

    To get to the topic at hand, it stinks that your doctor was not nicer to you ~ sometimes they need refresher courses on bedside manner. Try to get some cardio in to try and help you feel better. I know that when I think about slipping, I remember how much I have to exercise to get those extra work out calories! Most of the time, I still work out, but I skip the slip!! Good luck with the rest of your day... tomorrow is another one & it will be better!

    Update: Went for a walk, started storming 20 minutes in, had to call mom to pick me up, back in house, tempted to eat entire jar of peanut butter.

    I love to do my workout when I am upset or sad about something. I find that I can think about my problem and can get my aggression out, while burning calories!

    Drink a glass of water..it always helps me with cravings. Jog in place, do jumping jacks, sit-ups or some other indoor exercise..do something to get your mind off the food~

    If you really don't want to eat, sit on your hands. Seriously.
