Ick, I feel gross

Mimiche

I started yesterday right. I went for a nice, relaxing, long walk (I skipped the gym: I've been working out everyday this week and my legs were aching), and I ate super healthy and was under in my calorie intake.
But then we decided to go out on the town, to a pub with some friends.
Lately I've been so dedicated to weight loss that I've been decking out on the whole drinking scene. But I'm 19 and its a big part of socializing, so I was starting to feel lame and anti-social. I figured, I was working so hard to be fit and sexy, and no one is ever going to see it if I don't go out! Plus It's only one night a month, so I decided to do it. But I didn't want to go on a empty stomach, I ate a cup of grapes, whole wheat toast with jam, and a few chips. Then I have three rye and cokes at the bar, two porn star shots, and a buswiser.
And I totally had the option to get Bud Light or Diet Coke.. But I went all out
I'm sure I was completely over in my calorie intake, but I tried to let it not bother me.
And then I ate Pizza, which was awesome.
(I haven't had pizza in monthes, and a guy offered to buy me some.. I couln't resist!!)

Today I was going to do better, but then me and a friend went down to Granville Island in Vancouver, and it has such unique stores and food, and my friend bought me chocolate truffles at a chocolate shop () and a scoop of chocolate hazelnut gelato.
Thank god its about a 30 minute walk to and from Granville where my car was parked, so I walked plenty today.
I should have just stopped when I got home, but I figured I already messed my day up, might as well some more. Uggghhhh BAD MENTAILITY.
Don't you just hate that? One bad thing and it snowballs to me eating so much unhealthy food..Now I'm bloated, full, guilty and haven't worked out.
I know its not that big of a deal, ecspecially yesterday. But today I shouldn't have let the snowball continue just becuase I screwed up once! Thats a bad spot to be in!
I'm just venting, hoping you guys will say motivating and inspiring stuff.. you guys are so good at that!
Maybe I won't go out drinking for while.. but for what its worth.. I had a really good time!!

It's hard, but you have to find a way to integrate occaisional splurges into your life. Now just eat healthy and exercise tomrrow.

you were doing great right up to "but I figured I already messed my day up, might as well some more"

That is the big difference for me this time. I had 3 beers last night, and a high calorie meal. Came home, drank water. Woke up and did not even think about it, went straight for my regular breakfast.

Life is there for the living, you must have fun. But one slice of pizza is JUST that. It is not a complete breakdown of all you have accomplished. Almost @ 20 pounds my dear...you are rockin and rollin

No need to worrry, cuz God willin, there is tomorrow!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Aww..
True that arewethereyet.
I think I'm getting too obsessive with my weightloss, I worry about it and feel guilty about little things that I used to eat all the time, and now I never eat. So it shouldn't damage me that much. I'm a little ashamed of getting to that point :blushing:
I'll try harder to eat healthy but not obsess!
And congrats on not ruining your day, so proud!

I feel gross today, too. I had a "cheat" meal. I planned to eat whatever. I didn't exercise at all besides just some cleaning around the house. I ended up going over my calories for the day by almost 1000. ACK!

I have a friend who has lost over 100 pounds. She was so incredibly strict with her meals. She weighed out EVERY little detail. Down to the gram of how much food she was eating. But hey, it worked awesome for her! But she would also allow a cheat meal once every 2 weeks. That meal, all rules were off. She could eat or drink whatever she wanted. That made it so that when she had a craving for those truffles or ice cream, she knew...hey! I have a cheat day in 3 days. I can wait for this. Sure, the scale wasn't pretty the next day, but she enjoyed her cheat meal while it lasted, and didn't have to feel guilty about it at all. She just knew that she had to get right back on plan with food and exercise the next day (or meal), no excuses!

It might be worth considering!
Good luck!
