its a horrible thing. ive been doing amazing for the past month, and tracking everything i eat- typically staying around 1600 and working out like a champ. increased protein and lifting, decreased processed foods. and im losing, slowly but surely.

but its amazing how paranoid and guilty i feel after a slight slip. its a stressful night at work- and i ended up eating a biscotti, 1 hersheys chocolate nugget, and leftover breakfast casserole from an earlier luncheon (estimated the casserole the best i could). at most i added another 400-500 cals, and with my workout today, im still in the "under range."

why do i feel guilty? i didnt binge, i tracked it all, and i am willing to forego a different snack i had brought for later (im working a night shift, so i wont be leaving work until 530am). im apparently just paranoid of not feeling in control. or gaining weight immediately- because thats what my body has done so many times in the past. it seems most people can have a little extra and it doesnt harm them, but my body holds onto it and i have to lose extra lbs all over again.

hopefully thats not the case right now. i know i didnt do that bad...and i just need to relax and move on.

just had to vent. any advice?
