Confessions of an Over-eater

jdelisle

So this weekend was a complete bust for me. It all started with valentines day, and the craving for a cupcake and it all went downhill from there! I felt like nothing could fill me up this weekend! It was so hard to stop when I was already over and I knew I couldn't recover from the day no matter what I did.

I went out for breakfast with my husband on Sunday, to our usual place before my healthy lifestyle change. We used to go almost every Sunday for the same dish. When I logged it in yesterday I couldn't believe it! No wonder I got so heavy! My breakfast was over my calories for the day just by eating one meal! I may have overestimated on everything but with restaurants you just never know. I was shocked, I knew it wouldn't be good, but wow...

So needless to say my weekend wasn't very healthy. I exercised quite a bit but when you are so far behind it barely puts a dent in it. I know I couldn't have gained 4.5 pounds in 2 days but on Saturday morning when I hopped on the scale it was 212. and now its 217.5! I don't want to eat anything today :frown:

I know I will still lose weight, If I just pick myself back up, I am just so mad at myself for falling off the wagon this weekend! I know I used to eat like on a regular basis so 2 days every couple months isn't the end of the world, but still! I was doing so well, I should have just stayed on track! :grumble:

Its just one day...honestly! Just drink tons of water and eat really good. The damage is when you get so made at yourself that you eat bad for the next 2-3 days! (which i used to do all the time)

Superbowl sunday I fell completely off the wagon and I also gain 3lbs in one weekend. I just got up on monday drank a ton of water and went for a walk....it was gone by the next weigh in.

We all fall once in awhile. Its monday and its a new day!!!

I feel the same way after I blow a good day and I eat a snack at night time that I know I shouldn't eat - but I do. It drives me insane! Especially when I'm eating it at 10:30 pm ... way to late to be putting all that in my face!!! Maybe I can sew a zipper on my lips and lock it down after 7 pm!!!

I did this 3 weekends ago! I really enjoyed the food though!:blushing: I got back to it the next week and lost almost 7 pounds that week. I think sometimes our little over indulgences are just our brain's way of helping our body get through this. Don't be too hard on yourself and remember we are in this for the long haul! Good Luck!:drinker:

Lol, if only eh? Even as you are putting the food in your mouth your like 'what are you doing, this isn't healthy, your going to feel bad in the morning' but you do it anyway.

I did the same thing this weekend. My boyfriend and I went to a Japanese Steak House and completely over indulged! But I will admit that it tasted soooooo good!

my scale showed me an awfully high number after eating bad this weekend too. i think it has a lot to do with retaining water from too much sodium and not drinking all my water - bad bad heather! :grumble:

oh well, we'll see how this week pans out. i plan to hit it hard and do my best. :drinker:

where did you go outta curiousity? and what did you get if you dont mind me asking lol

yep I didn't even log in my dinner, and my drinks I got alittle tipsy and some of the drinks that I had is just not so good. But it was fun and I throughly enjoyed it every drink and the lump crab cake and the pototo's and the awesome app, man making myself hungry,lol. No but one day out of the month especially a special day is not going to ruin us. So back on track we all go. don't let it get you down or set you back one step back and two steps forward.

You are definitely not alone. I did the same thing last night. I had pizza and wine, got home had carrot cake and then crackers with cheese and salsa. Nothing was taking away the appetite I had. I felt awful this morning and now I have to live with the weight gain of 3-4 lbs. It gets depressing why others are so thin and we have to work so hard.

But together WE CAN DO IT, SOME HOW, SOME WAY.

We just all need support.

Any you know, sometimes our brain just needs that bit of sugar or salt to function properly. That's a fact.

We went to a local resteraunt (not a chain) so you wouldn't recognize the name. I got the only breakfast they sell on the menu:

Back Bacon (which my husband doesn't eat so I get his)
.5 of an egg (I have the rest to my husband).
Fried Mashed Potato Hashbrowns
& Buttered Texas Toast for a whopping 1,100 calories (
