    I live in Boston, and after all the stress that went on this week, last night after we were allowed out of our homes I decided to have 2 pieces of pizza and fries and 3 glasses of wine and a piece of strawberry cake. *sigh* I don't necessarily regret it, but this morning I am up 3 pounds, and I have already gained a few pounds back and I am kind of mad at myself right now...

    I can assure you it's not fat, it's probably water weight from sodium. Drink lots of water and eat high potassium foods like bananas and that will shift the water weight. The amount of food you ate wasn't anywhere near enough to put on even 1lb of fat, you need to eat 3500 cals over and above your TDEE to put on just 1lb of fat. To do that overnight, if your TDEE is 2000 cals, you'd need to eat 5500 cals in one day to put on 1lb of fat in a day. The food you ate isn't even close to that, so the weight gain must be from sodium (which causes water weight gains)

    that time of the month, feeling sick and in pain and feel fat lol. My confession is I ate a quarter of a box of crackers last night and about 2 or 3 tbls of chocolate chips. I stayed within my caloric intake (even with the mcd's and chocolate) until last night and went over by about 5 or 600 lol.

    Today is a quiet day. I slept in and waiting for the hubby to wake up. Kid is on vacation with the grandparents. I should get up, get moving, eat breakfast to calm my rumbling belly, and get to planting flowers in the garden.

    BUT I AM BEING LAZY! And I want something sweet for breakfast, like pancakes, or oh, those cream cheese stuffed french toast thingies.

    I have been totally awful for the last 3 days :-( for some reason (think its being stuck in the house with two small children who are being naughty/twisty) I'm blaming my bad eating on them (sounds awful I no and I feel guilty) but I no that its me eating it so the blame lies with me! Just can't seem to pull myself up.

    I had to go to a party last night, and in preparation for it, I ate a protein bar and a boiled egg so that I wasn't tempted. And just in case I was, I packed another protein bar and egg to snack on if I felt the need. I got there, and immediately went to the snack table...consuming almost 1500 calories in junk. I felt awful, especially since I have been down on myself for the past two weeks that I haven't been losing much at all. Turns out I am my on saboteur. Ouch.

    I ate two candy bars almost every time went to the grocery store this past two weeks...... :embarassed:

    which candy bars??
    I feel like Snickers still count as a good snack... xD

    Not trying to hijack the thread, but I found a very yummy protein bar that's a Snickers bar. It's a Marathon Snickers protein bar, crunchy dark chocolate. It's only 150 cals and 9 grams of fat plus 11 grams of protein. I didn't think it would taste very good, but was happy to find that it was especially since I really love snickers.
    BTW the serving size is the entire bar and it's a decent size. If you come across them, try one. You may never go back to a real snickers bar again...lol :laugh:

    what is it called?

    Anything you want to confess to. No judging!


    I'll start.

    I feel like I did something wrong everytime I feel full, I don't like the feeling of being full.

    I had a small slice of cake last night. Had a lick of icing off my finger and I gave in lol

    Anyone else wanna go? :P

    I feel the same way about being full. Don't like the feeling. I just walked several miles, burned off a ton of calories, had a large cappuccino with a friend, and feel totally bloated.
