i'm ashamed to my very core

Can't change the past, can you??? Nope...There is a prayer that says, God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change...In other words, no use crying over spilled milk. We ALL mess up. We are only human. Just accept it, FORGIVE YOURSELF...and get right back on the horse. . Make a conscious decision that, as much as you are able, food will not be your master...BUT YOU WILL MASTER IT! You can do this!!!!!

I log the moment of shame in the memory bank. Do I want to feel this again, nope! Next time I want to go off the rails, I take a second to remember the nasty feeling and overwrite it with the good feeling of doing well. Takes but a second and it's fairly effective for me as long as I don't run away from it, by not logging in or weighing yourself, or whatever it is you do to keep track.

These three days in a row of overage have NOT ruined you... just in case you were thinking that.

Give yourself a single cheat meal once a week, if you have to... where you can go "hog wild", as I call it. IF you are buying snack machine items, stop. BEFORE you get hungry, buy bananas/apples/carrots/rice cakes/etc. and have them ready. If you always go to eat on a whim, you probably will have a harder time teaching yourself self-control. Eating nuts and cheese can help curve cravings. ALSO... if you just can't eat right (for the moment), make up for it with exercise. Put your music on or grab a friend or get out there and enjoy the silence and go for a fast-pace walk. Walk and walk and walk until you feel you have really burned up some cals. This may make you feel better about the overage and will definitely trim it down. Eat better. Get active. These will change your life.
