OK, purge your hidden secret ... what is the worst thing you ate today? Come on, be honest. We all slip up sometimes, what was your slip up today? And what can you learn from it?

Me? Mine was the numerous handfuls of animal crackers. ONE handful would have been ok, but I was a repeat offender, making it my worst thing for the day.

Now that I've recognized my naughtyness, I can take much more care about it in the future. Next time, I'll take a serving out of the container and put it in a dish, and put the container away. That way, I'll maintain portion control.

OK, fess up! YOUR'S??

    You made me smile, yes, a doughnut is definitely elegible as something to fess up to.

    Anyone else brave enough to post theirs?

    I took my kids to starbucks. I skipped the calorie-filled white chocolate mocha latte and instead got a peppermint tea. Then bought the kids one of those chocolate brownies. Decided I was only going to have one taste. Fortunately for me, the kids eat fast, but I was able to get three bites in....oh yeah, did i mention that I don't even like chocolate?

    Thanks for asking. I bindged last night on chocolate and some salty brown rice chips. I knew as I was doing it that I'd pay for it today. I'm feeling so depressed because of it. It' looks like I'm even up a lb. It all started at lunch with the white slice of pizza with broccoli. (I thought I was being healthy because of the broccoli. NOT! ) to make matters worse, I can never eat just one slice so I had a slice of regular pie. Oh yea I had a pepsi with lunch. So I was back to my old way of thinking...........I screwed up so I might as well screw up the rest of the day. The only good thing I did yesterday was drink lots of water and exercise. So I'm going to get back on the wagon in hopes that the # is all water weight due to the high amounts of sodium I ingested yesterday. I will not let this send me on a downward spiral!

    I was horrible yesterday. I let myself get too hungry at breakfast time and wound up eating a donut that a kid brought for our Valentine's party. Then I got progressively worse after I learned I'd won the weight loss challenge for the month at work. I ate too many chips at the party, then proceeded to eat a huge meal at a mexican restaurant for dinner. The scale showed a 4 pounds weight gain in one day. I'm being super good today though and have already lost about half of it. I plan to go do my aerobics for 40 minutes in a little bit.

    OK, purge your hidden secret ... what is the worst thing you ate today? Come on, be honest. We all slip up sometimes, what was your slip up today? And what can you learn from it?

    Wow! Collectively, we have done some damage to the "control" factor of dieting. :tongue: But is is sooooo interesting how many of us have immediately spotted our problem, and could easily make some "plans for the future" to not have a repeat.

    For example, someone had an icecream treat that they would have rather not added to their day. Maybe next time have some sugar-free fudge bars in the freezer could head off the icecream problem.

    So, I"m going to add a reminder to this topic, "what can you learn from it". YOUR tip about YOUR experience might be just the tip that one of us needs! :bigsmile:

    6 mini tootsie rolls outta my kids valentine bags that my aunt made for them..not too bad really, under 100 cals, they were truly enjoyable :happy:

    Tim Hortons Cafe Mocha , medium 180 cals according to the database.
    Sesame chicken w 1/2 cup steamed rice

    Its saturday, I eat whatever I am craving during the week. Lately its anything with SALT!
    Still under by 64 calories. And tommorrow right back on track.

    What I've learned from this? I have one day a week, usually only one meal, when I eat what I crave and without guilt.
    It keeps me focused the other 6 days a week.

    I have kept my head turned at every stand. I love Samoa's I love Samoa's so much that if they had a human male version of a samoa I would leave my husband in a heartbeat.

    So therefore, I'm doing myself a favor and not even buying them this year.

    I was super good yesterday, drank lots of water, and exercised and lost nearly all of that bloat from my terrible day on Friday. The important thing is to get right back to doing the right things. I've heard it's how you do most of the time that counts.

    Cool thread!!

    I'm building up to Lent on Wednesday when I'm going to be giving up all things chocolatey so I'm going overtime on hot chocolate drinks (the low cal ones - but still, I have them in bulk!) and everything that has chocolate in it. I made some chocolate chip cookies 'for the children' and ate a few of those too. I keep telling myself 'it's Lent on Wednesday'. But when I log the cals on mfp it really makes me see how much I"m putting away.

    Thinking of starting a Lent challenge group - which board should I post on?

    I got too hungry, and then ate a whole day's worth of food at once. 12" subway veggie sandwich, and giant handfuls of animal cookies. I'm within my calories, but definitely did not nourish my body properly during the day. I will work harder on keeping my foods spaced out during the day. I feel pretty dumb about not paying more attention to following healthy habits.

    Well yesterday I had only eaten about 300 calories. so when dinner came around I decided I was gona pig out!. I had ribs for dinner with pasta and cauliflour and a big bowl of frozen yogurt for desert. I was scared this morning but somehow manged to be down 1.5 lbs from yesterday. I don't actually have a single junk food item in my house right now So its hard for me to eat bad unless I over eat.
