Unhappy with self

Have gained almost two pounds in two days and not feeling very good about myself right now. You don't need to comment or anything. I just need to publicly admit it and get on with things. If it were a temporary glitch in things that would be one thing but this weekend I slipped back into some bad old habits and...well...you gotta pay for it.

The trouble is in my mind I guess. When I get like this I feel like giving up and saying what's the use and just screw this. I'll just go eat whatever I want and do something about it later. That would only make matters worse I know. But I still feel that way. Okay enough.

    I'm sorry you are feeling so discouraged! We all get that way sometimes. Mine isn't so much overeating as it is not eating enough and eating the wrong things (ahem, I had cookies and milk for dinner last night). Would it help if you bumped your calories up to maintenance level for a week or so, so that you don't feel deprived? I looked at Sat and Sun on your diary, and ypu really didn't do so badly! I was expecting it to be way uglier :smile:

    Edit: person selling stuff deleted. Promise it wasn't me, lol!

    You'd have to overeat by 7000 calories to gain 2 pounds of fat in 2 days. It's probably just water weight as you only overate less than 400 cal over the weekend.

    Don't get discouraged by this, it is only a minor blip. Today is a new day and starts a new week. You *can* do this!

    And feel free to ignore the person above me trying to sell you stuff. You know you don't need any of that. :flowerforyou:

    Ya know, our "self" is just MAD that it's no longer having it's over-indulgent and spoiled way. You've kicked and are kicking "self"
    tail major like, booting out 29 HUGE pounds and that's NOT easy at all. Tell "self" to shut up and sit down or else you'll make "self" FAT CRY (sweating is FAT crying), by talking a walk around the block or doing something it will really HATE and be mad about, like drinking water all day instead of other things it likes to drink or something like that.

    You are kicking major tail and "self" don't like it--too bad, there a NEW Sheriff in town in your life, so tell "self" that nothing it says or does will distract you or discourage you today, because you are winning, even when it doesn't look or feel like it!

    I'm so PROUD of you for losing 29 big ones--you ROCK sir!
