I hate this, this always happens

what i do is allow one day for crap food and the rest of the week healthy foods u could try this and this should help u :flowerforyou:

you need to deicde if its worth it
Is it worth feeling like crap about yourself
Is it worth having nights like this when you feel like you can never do it
Is it worth it not to love your body and feel awsome about what you can do with it

To me the joy of eating like crap all the time is not as good as feeling awsome about my body and how hard I work. I am proud of myself and am proud of what ive accomplished cake, chips n chocolate are yummy for like 5 minutes, n then you want more.

If it makes you feel complete its more than a food thing

you need to tell yourself your worth it

ah babe dont give up .... it all happens to us at some time.
Like any long journey you go on your bound to stray from the path but it doesn't mean you should give up and watch the others pass you by, there are plenty of friends on her who will pick you up and motivate you a long the way. read some posts.

I felt so sad when I read this! I burst out, "Awwwwwwwwww."

Watch out what you call yourself....an "overweight pig" is a terrible, cruel way to think of yourself!

I hope you can try to be much kinder to yourself.

you gotta think of it as a life thing, and not just a temporary diet thing. If you look at it with the big picture i find it is easier.
Like if you want deep fried french fries and pizza, there is hundreds of days to have one of these things. I try not to eat more then one crappy thing a day, if that.

If there someone you look up to body wise. I have a picture of kate hudson, and i signed up for womens health magazine, it keeps me in check. also finding a friend who will do it with you is an amazing help

I have a pair of tight jeans that I keep with the pants I wear every day, when my tight jeans get loose, I put a smaller pair of jeans in the drawer, and so on. I try them on periodically, and that helps me to see, "Hey, I've lost in my butt, but I've still got a ways to go in my tummy." like that. I don't buy jeans for this either, I have jeans all the way from my goal size to the size I was 30 pounds ago. It takes awhile, I put them in the drawer before I can even zip them, but man, it makes me feel good when I can finally squeeze into them and zip them up and see the progress based on how easy or hard it is to get those jeans on. Anyway, not exactly a note around the house, but it's a little help anyway.

I agree with others here - don't call yourself those names! And know that we ALL slip and you really have to allow that for yourself. Just keep plugging away and yes, it is a long term thing, not a diet. And when you have a good day congratulate yourself on that - you WILL have them!

You did remember to get back up!!!!. That is a great thing so please don't get discouraged. If you call yourself that way imaggine what the rest of the world think of you. Don't let one wk or one day define who you are.... Start today and it will be well!!!!

Yer i suppose but im always too concious of what im eating then i sort of get sick of worrying and splurge...i sort of need to refocus my whole idea on food because losing weight is all i think about, and thats whats making me break my diet if you understand?

This may not help at all but here it is - I have been fat all my life - I come from a fat family (I'm not being mean - just truthful) - all my aunts and cousins are fat. My whole life I had a guilt complex surrounding food. Secound helpings were a sin - dessert was a sin - cheese was a sin. And so as a result I O-V-E-R A-T-E!! To the point that I could have been considered to have a eating disorder. I moved out of my house and met some new friends and my current partner. With the help of those people I got through alot of my food issues. The BIGGEST thing for me was learning that no food was an enemy. Food is our friend and we need it to survive. I stopped letting myself feel guilty for having dessert and taking secound helpings, and I started letting myself truly enjoy food. And I mean actually enjoy it - no guilt - no counting of cals or fat, just pure enjoyment of the food that I eat. I believe that this, beyond anything else, has helped me lose weight. I have also found that as I let myself enjoy food, the types of food that I enjoy has changed. I actually rarely crave things like potato chips when after highschool I was regularily sitting down and eating a full tube of pringles - pretty much daily. I find myself craving things like salads instead.

Now you are trying to "diet" - gawd I hate that word! - so it does make food more difficult. For me again it has been a change in my though process. I have tried to stop thinking of meals as "something good that I am going to try to make healthy" and instead am trying to think of meals as "fuel for my body, and lets see how good we can make this!" It has helped, at least for me.

I also have problems with the "same ol'" thing day in and out. There are SOOOO many good websites out there for food ideas. My favorite is VegWeb.com... I'm not a vegitarian but tend to eat almost all vegitarian dishes as they are cheaper! :bigsmile:

Keep at it - keep trying to change your relationship with food, it can be done. It does take time! But just because you've had a bad week doesnt mean that all is lost. And for me I couldnt see it as starting at ground zero - that would depress me too much - think of it as a speed bump that you are now past!

and you can totaly feel free to message me - I also have no issues with you venting and ranting! I understand!

JazzyMarie!!

Don't feel bad - We all do it.
And definitely don't give up.
You can always start again tomorrow. )

When I get like that i find myself in a what I call 'carb cycle' - Seems as soon as the last carbs are being used I'm craving more?!?! And I'm never satisfied!!!
Does this happen to you too?

I only discovered that these cravings do actually go away after a few weeks when i did the Atkins diet.
That really shows how many carbs and bad carbs I love to eat!

I now do a 4 day detox diet every month and then stick to 1100 cals a day in between, little less than recommened but otherwise the weight creeps back.

I have learned so much about food nutrition and how the body works over the years that I think I can advise myself better than anyone else.
Let's not forget that 'Food' is a massive money making industry and they design food to be moreish and in some cases addictive - MSG etc. So the odds are stacked against us from the start.
Don't feel bad, get angry with them for falling into their trap, bit of fighting spirit!!

I don't want to promote Atkins as I dont think it's healthy (-at first at least) but I would say look at your simple carb intake and replace 3/4 with complex carbs or better still lean protein. Has worked wonders for me.
You'll find that once your body is 'fed' properly it does crave all the other rubbish.

It is hard to resist tempation sometimes but the benefits of feeling good and being proud of yourself out weigh anything else. I'd be happy to help with any tips if you need. Good luck and once again don't give up )
