Didn't do well over Easter :-(

lonypony

I feel totally upset with myself. Didn't have any chocolate, but I still over ate. Too much food, too much wine and not enough exercise. Back to it today but after a big weight loss last week I am definately not looking forward to Friday this week. I am so disappointed with myself for giving in to the pleas from family and friends ("just a little bit wont hurt"). Although I feel when we dined out I didn't make bad choices (salt and pepper calamari for one and the other meal pumpkin ravioli) it was the potato chips and nibblies with wine on Easter Monday. I just couldn't stop - I knew I should but I wasn't strong enough. Oh and I had a vegetable pasty for lunch one day - big pastry overload there. Today I am within my calorie limit and I haven't exercised yet but I still have to add a bit for dinner so here is hoping I can be strong and good for remainder of the week. That's all I can do now I suppose. What's done is done. Thanks for listening

As long as you enjoyed it and it really is an occasion, you shouldn't feel bad at all. I know I over ate and *definitely* over drank. Beer, scotch, red wine, port, chocolate, hot cross buns, big portions at dinner... Exercise was way under as well. I went to the coast, but then it was raining all Easter and stupidly cold, so my swimming was pretty dismal, and I was away from the gym all of Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon. Sunday and Monday I didn't even try to record since other people were cooking for me.

As expected, +1kg (after +1 just before Easter) but I'm not too bothered. It just means an extra couple of weeks before I change my goals to maintenance.

Most important, don't let it push you off a good thing. You make the changes to your lifestyle now, and the weight loss follows. It'll catch up after a bit, as long as you don't go back to your old lifestyle

I personally cannot drink alcohol where there is food as it lowers my resistance. But then again, I can't drink alcohol without food as it makes me loopy. Catch 22.

Now that it is behind you, move forward. Brand new day, brand new week. You can do it! Keep in mind your birthday in two months and plan a nice reward for yourself. You can reach your goals.

Sounds like you were a saint to me! If you want to talk about over eating, guess I'd take the prize! :embarassed: I grazed all day on before dinner snacks of nuts, shrimp, crackers, cheese, and even candy corn. Then on to the meal which included ham with a fattening as hell glaze, and scalloped potatoes and rolls. Then, even though I was stuffed already, I went on to have a HUGE piece of carrot cake. And then later that night, had ANOTHER huge piece, just cuz it was so darned good! So see, you don't feel so bad anymore now, do you?! :laugh:

Hey hey,

Don't be so harsh on yourself. I didn't even log in anything over the Easter break, so I don't know how good/bad I did, but no doubt it probably wasn't very good. You are allowed to have indulgent days, you aren't going to gain "weight" over night, permentant weight occurs over time! So, you will work it off eventually, just make sure you compensate for it with good exercise.

I do understand how you feel though, but just remember you have done really well so far, don't dwell on this too much. :-)

I was horrible this weekend. Went back to it and after 1 day I actually met my weight loss goal. I think days off can actually help with the weight loss. Just do the right thing this week and I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised at weigh in time.

You are here right? You are talking about it and counting. Be proud of that. You did not use it as an excuse to give up. So, don't be disappointed in yourself. Be PROUD!

Thank you all for your support. Weigh in tomorrow so I actually can't wait now, after reading all your comments :flowerforyou: . I have been so good since Tuesday, although with time constraints I haven't been able to exercise. Work, work, work, and healthy eating - that's my life this week. :happy:
