Lost my way!

Over the weekend I lost control, I overate Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was really, really bad! Hopefully I will find a fresh start in this Monday morning! I am so angry with myself! :mad:

Don't be angry :flowerforyou: - just know you have the control to take today and take care of business. Life is too short to hold a grudge against yourself (and that doesn't make it any easier to get back to your program). You can do it... we all know you can. :happy:

It happens to all of us. Weekends can be tough. One of the good things about Monday is we get to start over. Hang in there and don't be too hard on youself. Progress is good. You don't have to be perfect. :flowerforyou:

Don't be angry, just be positive. I too am starting over today, but have been "bad" for more than just the weekend! Had a flu virus and couldn't go to the gym. Unfortunately still had an appetite :-(

But today is a new day, the start of a new week and even a new month so lets get back on track!!! Good luck!

When I go over my calories - rather than telling myself that "I'll start over on Monday" I seem to do better if I tell myself "Limit the damage and make sure every calorie is worth it!"

This way I can keep a 2500 calorie day from becoming a 3700 calorie day (or worse!). I also log EVERYTHING every little bite of nacho chip with cheese... This past weekend I was at a beautiful winter ball and I did OK (or so I thought until I logged it) but even though I broke down and had a sliver of pie and a few other bites of the other desserts I logged in a full piece of pie to accommodate those other bites... This way I know what to expect over the week. I didn't go over my calories by 3500 total over the weekend so I didn't gain a pound - I probably gained a lot of water due to the sodium intake. But I also wasn't 3000 calories short so I didn't lose a pound either...

It's a journey - and we're all going to get there by taking another step in the right direction!

Thank you to everyone! I couldn't bring myself to log my foods this weekend, they were just to bad! But I am feeling better and do believe that I can do this!
