so a few days ago I got under 170 for the first time since high school
30 pounds down since september.

and what do I do last night? I ate a whole thing of ben and jerrys ice cream
so I basically busted my *kitten* exercising that day... for ice cream.

i still only ate right at my maintenance calories but I woke up feeling pretty crappy from all that ice cream.

oh well. new day,

    I have done that - use food as a reward. It can be hard but it is good you stayed within your calorie intake. When you reach your goal (congrats by the way for only having 5 lbs to go) I would suggest a non-food reward. How about a new outfit or a cool game you want?

    totally been there. I'm working really hard on not using food as a mood controller. Before it was always food to celebrate, food when i had a bad day, food when i'm bored.

    It's a really hard habit to overcome.

    congrats on your great loss so far!!!

    You're right, it is a new day. We all have those slip ups now and again, so don't worry about it. Start over :) Congrats on losing the 50 lbs!
