Just plain TICKED OFF!

Sandytoes71

I was in a depressed and ticked off state of emotions today. The reason being, I just have not felt like watching portion sizes nor counting cals and it really got me down. I just didn't want to worry with it today. I wanted to eat as much of anything I wanted. Thank goodness I didn't. And I am feeling better now that I didnt. Does anyone else get in bad moods sometimes because u can't (well u can), eat what and how much food u want? And I really didn't know that was why I was in a stinky mood until I had to start thinking about dinner. Lol, and then it hit me. I'm also tired, and I know that has something to do with it.

Yup! I feel like that more than I like to admit. I have started exercising every time I feel ****ty. It really does help. Try Yoga! It heals the mind and the body. I cannot say enough good about it. Hot Yoga has inspired me to be the very best I can be. I know it sounds corny but honestly, it is working for me. If you can't get out to classes, buy a video at a second hand shop. The sky is the limit.

Yep!!! that was me yesterday!!! I came home and just went to sleep for 3 hours just cause I was mad at nothing!

remember that your goal is to win a war not a battle. Don't sweat it if you have a bad day or 2 a week. I know you did well and am soooo proud of your choices. You were tested and you passed. Be proud that you didn't give inot depression or pain or anger. You are breaking the cycle and that is impressive as all hell!

ConnieSG

That has been me for the last couple of days!! I am so hoping tomorrow is a much better day. Nothing like being so emotional today that you just start crying. (YUP that happened to me today)

LastSixtySix

Some days you just have to go with it! You responded correctly and should be proud. It's not about what you feel but how you act that counts in the end.

Sure, and this is why I have a weekly free day or cheat day - whatever you want to call it.
TODAY WAS THAT DAY!
It was fabulous! I ate great, wonderful foods all day - about 6000 calories.
I love my cheat day, or as I prefer to say: "RE-FEED THERAPY"
I have a weekly day where I eat about twice my daily goal, and a monthly food orgy where I eat like a man going to the electric chair for 24 hours.
LOVE IT!
It's nice knowing I am never more than 7 days from eating anything I desire in whatever quantity I want.
I'd go nuts otherwise.

And I have lost over 70 pounds doing this every single week.
There is some science behind this, but science bores me.
I do it.
It works.

Good enough:drinker: !

paulcer

I had one of those yesterday, you made it through better than I.

12skipafew99100

Yes, you're not alone. That was me this week. Not a good one for me......

Sageyoku

Totally.

You know what's great for that? When you feel that way, say:
"F*** it, tomorrow I'm going to eat some CRAP!!!"
(If you put it off until the next day, you can plan your binge haha)

Yesterday I was on the rag (yeah yeah TMI), plus I have stuck to my calorie goals for almost a month, AND my birthday's coming up. So I said F*** IT and planned a HUGE slice of pizza and GIANT cookie for dinner for today. Because I planned ahead, I did NOT go over my goals AND I got to eat what I wanted! It was GREAT!!!!

cloud2011

I feel that way too sometimes. In fact, I think sometimes (not always) overeating helps me ignore my true feelings, or cope when my feelings become too much. Then when I pay better attention to my nutrition, those negative feelings have to be dealt with.

That part's not always comfortable for me.

You sound like you have battle fatigue. Are you doing any non-food treats for yourself?

kd80538

Yep! Usually it's in the evening when I'm low on calories left and hungry as heck. I've learned to listen to my body...(of course, first I make sure it's not just gas! LOL!)...but if I'm truly hungry, I eat. I've gotten much better about finding something with some level of nutrient value, instead of just binging...but I eat.

And similar to Dawna12, I've found something to inspire me to be my best. For me, it's Kung Fu. If I eat crappy, I perform crappy...so I really try to eat well so I can be my best!

Hang in there...we all have those days

gnrshelton

We all have those days! Glad you resisted temptation!

MandaJean83

I tend to get like that one day every week or two. I get down on myself, and tired of putting all this effort into a weight loss that is just SO slow. LOL I want to see immediate results for all my hard work, and that's just not how it works.

Kudos to you for resisting your urge to go off-track. I'm really proud of you! You are doing this the right and healthy way, and your body will thank you in good time!

Feel free to add me for support!

bademasi

YESTERDAY WAS MY MOODY DAY! I get them once in awhile. Mini pity party for myself. I am glad you did not give in. I didnt either. I was so glad when yesterday was over. TODAY MY MOOD WAS GREAT! Stand proud of yourself and know your not alone. It is normal.

Thats been me this whole last week... and tired... i think this is my third week with MFP... and I gained all my weight back... Now Im really really really annoyed. Has anyone else done this??? I keep saying tomorrow is a new day................ sighhhhhhh

Wendysworld13

The definition of being human! Good recognizing it. And if you ever fall off the wagon, breathe and climb back on - tomorrow is another day and one bad day is not the end of the world as we know it!

LittleMissAngi

I'm dealing with this as we speak! For some reason I can't stay on track for more than 2 days. It's really making me mad and upset at myself. :sad: :sad: :sad:

blondieluv2shop

Maybe you can pick one day a week where you allow yourself to eat anything you want that's what I am doingso during the week I know on Saturday I can treat myself. It really helps me stay on track. I don't feel so deprived. Sounds like you handled it well.

I was just telling my husband how cathartic Hot Yoga is... OMG! You nailded it. It helps mind, body and soul!

sweetiebelle

I get like that often. I end up dong it and in the morning I get mad at myself knowing that I'm going to put a pound or more on. It takes me 3 days of being good to get that weight off. Its not worth it but, I do it anyway. I don't no why. I couple of days ago I ate so much candy it made me sick . That was dumb but, I always pick myself back up.

Last week, I was so pi$$ed over not being able to find a vet that could figure out what was wrong with my dog. :explode: After three vets and almost a grand, I finally found one with a brain and a bit of compassion. Until I found him, though, I had visions of sausage egg cheese biscuits and Whoppers running through my head. :ohwell: I recognized the cravings for what they were: the need for comfort food to get me through a stressful, frustrating time. But honestly, I just wanted to say WTF and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and not log.

I abstained (thankfully, because eating just one biscuit would have done me in, I'm sure) and now that the crisis has passed, I'm back to normal. I think the fact I wanted a cigarette (after a year of being quit) was the big red flashing light telling me to just hold off because this would work itself out. :bigsmile:

Cakepiebeer

Does TOM have anything to do with this strange behavior?

OliviaJoey1

Must be in the air! I was mad at everybody today and yesturday for no reason! I pulled into McDonalds and ALMOST got a sweet tea, I did not! I pushed through and looked at clothes on line I someday want to wear. ALMOST talked myself out of woriking out, but I came home the house was cleaned, so I just went upstairs and worked out! I guess with trying to loose weight there is a flood of emotions and just wanting us to fail! Push through the bad mood! Dont go back! Its almost Friday! Good Luck!

Cindy311

Well, you should be proud of yourself for not giving into emotional eating. If you want to have a day set aside once a week where you eat to sate your cravings it's better than doing what your emotions tell you to do. I am an emotional eater that is changing habits. I had something extremely scary happen with my husband's health a couple of weeks ago. The old me would have gorged on whatever I could lay my hands on to comfort myself. I chose not to do that, I stayed as healthy as I could with the limited hospital food available and by the time I weighed in a week and a half later I had lost weight. Seriously, don't let your emotions rule you because in the end you're only hurting your body!

latinabubbles

I'm there right now. I desperately want a coke float. I'm trying to convince myself that it's milk and milk is a healthy food group. And the coke, well it's a treat. But then I think yeah, how long do I have to stay on the treadmill byt eating it. So I sit here and read instead of whatever one else is going through and talk myself out of it. ugh. LOL

I've had one binge day already this week, and gone alittle over on my cals a couple of days too, but damn it, I wanted to eat junk again anyway! And I knew I'd hate myself if I did. And that just ****ed me off! LOL!

Newf77

Take the day for what it was and reset, tomarrow is another day.

Legally_Natural

Was everyone having that day today?!?! I was like that all day and some of my MFP friends were like that too.

cutiekay99

YESSSSS! Especially when I am staying under my calories, exercising daily and see no change in the scale. But we have to look at our ultimate goal. Most of the times, I don't give in to my frustrations. However, this week has been a test for me and I'm not sure if I'm passing. We can't give up! We have to get over it and move on! Kudos to you for not giving in today!

BPayton27

You are not alone! We all didn't end up on this site because we watched our portions. I do have days where I am really frustrated that I am even in this situation, and resentful that I need to measure some foods. I suck it up and get a workout in and usually feel better. When I have days like that (a lot fewer now), I TRY to focus on my goals and why I am doing this in the first place. An off day is going to happen. What matters is how you handle it.
