When you feel like crap, what do you do?

sarham101

to keep from totally throwing the day away by bingeing or something?

I take a nap

Rather than giving into something that is going to set you back, try and see if you can get in a half hour nap to recharge your body and see if that helps to get you back on track.

Definitely a NAP or just time to myself.

stubbysticks

Work out.

I'm old and know you can't feel good every day so I just kind of suck it up and go about my day feeling like crap, or it might get better. LIke today, I have allergies. so started all congested & sneezing but eventually my am meds kick in and the rest of the day is better -
try to look at it this way - You will never be younger than you are today

I go for a run! It helps me think more clearly, it burns calories, it makes me feel better and it gives me those awesome endorphins!!! (Choose your workout of choice... running totally clears my head!)

Music. Listen to something that pleases you.

sleeep or go for a walk/jog!

If you're ill-rest. If you're just having one of "those days"- do what you can, take a walk, call a friend,and if you're feeling snacky...make nutritional choices. You can do it!

When I feel horrible, I run. Running fixes lots of things!

I go run or walk. It always helps me get my mind off of it. Like mind over matter...

gazz777

walk. that's how this all started for me.

to avoid a binge I'll snack on water or sugar free mints, carrots, tomato, etc.

smkey

Work out.

This is the one I do. No excuses for going back to the old ways!

I try really hard to just think of my goals. and I have this theory that if you can not do something for at least 30 days it will become a habit. So I have been trying to not give into any kind of cakes or cookies for a full 30 days. Keep having to start over ... but right now I am on day 2 and am having a positive outlook that i can PUSH THROUGH this time. making games like that for myself always helps. i like to be able to say "oh i haven't ate fast food for 2 months now!"

I like to go outside and chase my horse around...somehow though, he has figured out he can chase back...Yikes!!!!

This sounds incredibly simple, but when I am feeling like real crap (for me I'm trying not to overeat, not purge) I try to find the most enthusiastic, positive person around and call or do something with that person. I'm serious. Enthusiasm is contagious, as is positivity. It helps me find my good mood. Laughing like a hyena is good for your soul. :laugh:

I don't claim to know what you go through, but I've been fighting severe depression for many years and have been getting some great help and this is one of the most helpful things anyone's ever suggested. Sometimes I actually just go someplace alone and laugh for the sake of laughing....as loud as I can. I end up smiling.

I find my goats make me feel better than my horses. The goats are always in a good mood. My horses always are asking for something....checking out my pockets, etc.

Don't worry too much about it. I was sick last week with a cold and had about 3 nasty cheat days and did not exercise. I just had my weigh-in and gained the 2 lbs I lost last week. That in and of itself is motivation for me to get back on track. If you've been sick, listen to your body. It needs rest and nourishment. When you feel better, then get back on track.

These words speak volumes.
