    Hun I had 3 glasses of wine the other night with friends and I STILL LOST WEIGHT... Don't beat yourself up over hashbrowns! You can do this! We all can do this... I know this weekend I am going to have a FAT FILLED meal at a German place we are going to try... I will just work out harder the next few days

    Get over it and move on...we all make some not so good choices every now and then..doesn't make us losers. Everything in moderation!! Beating yourself up will not accomplish anything..its in the past..you ate them...you enjoyed so picked yourself up and keep going!!!

    Hey, go easy on yourself! Don't be so self-destructive! One bad moment doesn't means the end of the day so from this moment forward, you're back on track .... no stories, no excuses, and no waiting for tomorrow to rescue today.

    Hon, one thing I've learned (and boy was it hard to finally get it through my skull) is that what we think of ourselves is what others will think of us too. Instead of being your own worst critic, try being your own best cheerleader. If you are going get the weight off and keep it off, you have to learn to love yourself for who you are right now. Once you do that, losing the weight gets easier. I'm just at the beginning of my journe, but it took me 15 + years to figure out how to love myself for what I am right now, no matter what weight that is. Once you've done that, it becomes so much easier to work towards your goal, because you don't beat yourself up anymore. I know this sounds funny, but try starting each day by looking at yourself in the eyes each morning and repeat, " I accept myself the way I am, right now." And when the "fat loser" talk surfaces, say it again. This is what I did. And after awhile, you really start to change. Love yourself :)

    Oh stop it. Pity parties are such a waste of time. I mean really, what do you want people to reply to this? That you are in fact a fat loser? Or do you want to be coddled? Usually when someone starts whining that's what they want.

    Anyway hash browns are just food. If you want to have some, have a serving. One serving will not hurt you or hinder your weight loss any. If you can't eat them without gorging on them, don't eat them. So you did already? Unless you have a time machine you can't change it. It's in the past. Move on.

    That's a little harsh. We all go through periods of weakness. I switched to sugar free creamer, tastes the same.

    Just had to have the hash browns this morning, WTH is wrong with me. I cut out the cream in coffee and went to skim milk and then I have that other crap, no wonder I am gaining again. I am such a loser.


    The only problem I see is your attitude. This is life Baby - live and enjoy - and just use common sense in your eating habits! :flowerforyou:

    Don't beat yourself up. Count the calories and move on! One meal at a time. Last night I ate a sleeve of thin mints. I counted the calories only putting me over by 20 or so for the day :). Slip ups like this happen sometimes. We're not perfect :)

    if it is in your daily calorie allotment, who cares. I ate a krispy kreme donut yesterday but it was in my calorie allotment. (It was really good too!). Sometimes it happens.

    I had 5 cookies last night and loved every bite. Enjoy your food but don't let it run your life.

    As long as you're within your calorie goal why not enjoy it? I had two cookies and a Sierra Mist today. I'm still 17 calories under my goal and I haven't even worked out yet so I'll be able to eat even more if I want too later :D

    What has worked for me is planning out my meals in advance and pre-logging for the whole day. When I do that I know if I need to cut back on something or give myself some extra room to be able to enjoy some chocolate if I get a craving!

    Foods shouldn't be the enemy...its the dumb diets/media that are :)

    I was hoping this was a joke and that the OP was a fat-loser (losing lots of fat). Pretty disappointed. Just pick yourself up and eat better next meal!

    Funny--I thought the same thing!

    So did I, actually, although I had a sneaking suspicion I would be proved wrong. Sadly, that happened.

    Unless you ate an entire pound of hashbrowns, I wouldn't worry about it. Even if you did, one day is not going to ruin you. Try not to obsess over the scale and calories and on days that you find yourself wanting to eat more, do it, but then be more active too. I broke out of a 3-week plateau by eating more and exercising every day for 6 days. Don't give up because you caved one time, that doesn't make you a loser-- it makes you normal.

    :flowerforyou: Girl you are soo far from a fat loser it's not even funny. Fat is such an objective word anyways and when you're trying to make changes like this you should really just cut it out of your vocab..

    Don't feel bad for eating a hashbrown; everyone has to eat foods they enjoy. Nothing should be forbidden.. Everything will be fine!!

    the key my friend if I may say so, is to decide what you are going to eat, count the calories and fat grams and fit this in to your over all "budget"! It makes me sad to hear when someone eats something they enjoy, then get down about it. fit in and eat what you enjoy so that you are not depriving your self. and as others has mentioned, moderation. though some truly feel they have to totally omit some foods.

    I too thought this was a positive post re fat that had been lost - never to be found again!

    nothin wrong with hashbrowns, or bacon or hamburgers or cream....... it's all in moderation and denial of food is a form of punishment.... you do not need to be punished

    My thoughts exactly :flowerforyou: you will reach your goal and you can have your hashbrowns too

    Calling yourself names is just as bad as calling someone else names.


    Dont worry about it. Just work out a little harder today.

    ^^^^ this

    beating yourself up over it isn't going to help, it just brings you down and makes you feel like giving up. Talk to yourself as you'd talk to a friend, if you're feeling discouraged, build yourself up instead, remind yourself that you CAN do this, and that one slip does not mean the end of the road, it means you pick yourself up and keep on going

    change it to loser of fat, as in someone who's losing fat :)

    if there are foods that you really don't want to live without, follow the 80% rule, i.e. 80% clean/healthy foods, and 20% what you fancy so long as you stay within your calorie goals and you're feeding your body what it needs. Maybe this will mean smaller portion sizes, but that's better than total abstinence....

    Don't let it derail the rest of your day. Just make better choices next meal and move on. Oh, and stop calling yourself names - it's counter productive and just not nice. :) Postive affirmations work much better. "Hashbrowns are good in moderation. Now I will be sure sure to work of those extra calories today!"

    don't put yourself down like that. we all have days when we eat crap me included. it doesn't make you a loser. it means you are human and you make mistakes. believe me I struggle with eating crap myself I just keep trying. I am doing something right I went from 250 pounds to 175 pounds.
