someone give me a slap in the face

ReinasWrath

I've had a supremely stressful week and because of my own stupidity its only snow balling. I have been binging like crazy. In fact I am almost positive I have eaten over 3500 calories just today. Ironically some of my previous weight loss efforts had shown a little and had been feeling kind of good about how I looked (even a few compliments!) and now this. I have not been watching what I eat at all (except to shove it in my mouth I suppose) I am a slave to my cravings and my will power has just vanished.
Maybe I finally feel a little more at ease about how I look and am mentally settling back into my old ways since at the moment I'm not completely disgusted in myself or maybe its the major emotional stress as of late or probably both. Either way it needs to stop. I know eating is no way to ease stress, I know this and at the same time I'm going for Wendy's for a burger off a whim of a craving! I used to have iron will, if I over ate I worked it off until it was all neutral (even pushing to burn 600 one late evening) and I pushed to work out everyday and I pushed to eat right or at least stay within target and now I can't summon up even an ounce of this will power. Please, have any of you fought and overcome this type of ordeal? Any tips? Or even any stress relieving tips? :l *ripping hair outtt*

Hehe. But seriously don't overthink it ! We give in and make bad choices sometimes, we can't always be perfect! If it happens, it happens. Tomorrow's always a new day and you'll learn from it But seriously it IS okay to slip up every so often xxx

Sometimes we fail.
Get back on that bandwagon - you can do it!

I have 100% been there right with you! I'm useless at staying on track when I'm feeling down.

It's a lot easier if you accept that some days you make worse choices than others, chalk it up to experience and make better choices in the future.

It's easy to turn t different things when you are stressed, I still do the same but knowing if I want the results, I have t put in the ling term dedication keeps me sane as I know one day wont ruin everything!

Hope you feel more positive soon, add em if you need bit more friendly encouragement x

Congratulations -- you're human.

Seriously, you have to leave yourself room to not be perfect, or when you snap, the rebound is a lot worse. You're not going to be perfect every day of your life, and trying to be is setting yourself up for failure. Give yourself a break sometimes.

I'm not saying a regular massive binge is a good thing, but it's OK (and probably healthier in the long run) to give yourself a rest day from working out sometimes. It's OK to give yourself a treat sometimes. It's OK to even fall totally off the wagon sometimes.

Tomorrow's a fresh day. Keep on the path, tell yourself tomorrow will be better, and let yourself off the hook. Of course, if you binge every day, that won't work. However, expecting 100% perfection from yourself every day won't work either.

Thank you everyone, especially the few slap givers ^_^ I do suppose it is a new day and I'm relieved to hear that eating around 3500 in a day wont be an instant pound. I will try and get back on this and use this as a lesson :L Thank you all again SO much, I really do feel better about it!

ReinasWrath
