Well, yesterday was Mother's Day, so I guess that's why I cheated so bad. I ate birthday cake and ice cream, a lemon square, and 4, yes 4, helpings of grape salad. Along with a bunch of potato salad, a hamburger, baked beans, chips, and veggies and dip. Then at about midnight I ate a bunch of cheezits and an ice cream bar(no sugar added, like it matters...lol). I'm back on the wagon today...no more cheat days for me. I don't care what anyone says, eating is an addiction....and I am an addict!

Eatting is good, its social entertainment, habbit, addiction, all of the above. We just have to learn to change our habits. Cheat days are good once in a while, I think everyone should treat themselves to those days.
Good job on getting back on track today! And hope you had a great mothers day!0 -
I love food too & didn't think I did too bad yesterday until I logged my ice cream treat... Yup. More than 1000 calories for the 3 scoops of Culver's Custard. I feel like such a fool. Have a great week!0

Do you feel like crap today? When I go back to my old ways and eat junk food or a 1000 calorie meal I always feel terrible. I'm not talking about guilty, I'm talking sick as a dog. My body rebels to being mistreated now. When I consider a "cheat meal" I have to ask myself if it will taste good enough to feel crappy later. About 1/4 of the time the answer is yes.:laugh: I like a big steak or too much cheese once in a while and I'm willing to suffer for it.0 -
Happy Mother's Day.
Today I added an order of onion rings to my meal. Why, oh why?
They were good though.
Hang in there and good luck.0 -
I had quite the day too! Between having a mother, a M-I-L and being a mother myself there was a HUGE brunch (with mimosa's) and a dinner out! And yes, guilt-wise and body-wise I do feel like crap today! We all have our days, right?0

Hey, just enjoy it! Go for a couple jogs, eat an otter pop for dessert and you'll be golden. Those calories will be a distant memory0

I feel sick after I have a cheat day now also. I keep doing it though! I was really bad Friday night, all Saturday, and All Sunday. I eat bad this morning also but I am trying to turn the day around now!0 -
I ate terribly yesterday too, and felt awful today. I get a hung over feeling anymore when I eat alot of really bad stuff. Today has been a day of cleansing, I guess... oatmeal, fruit, salad, tofu... all things that will hopefully bring balance back to my poor body.0

You are correct, there are foods to which we can be addicted. For a treat, I like an ice cream float with no sugar added ice cream, (no more than 2 scoops) and Mug diet rootbeer, it's really good and tastes just like the real thing. It's good enough to fool your brain into thinking you did eat the real thing. Next time the urge to cheat is overwhelming, try that.
And don't beat yourself up. We all have our weak moments. The big thing is not to give up.
You're doing great!
And by the way, I ate a hamburger yesterday the size of my behind!!!0 -
Well, glad I'm not the only one that went against my better eating habits for the day. I too "indulged", but today am back at it. There are days that won't be perfect, but as long as the ball gets rolling again following the bad one, then so be it. Don't beat yourself up. Good stuff will still come with good eating habits the majority of the time.0

ugh same. I had a piece of the chocolate cake i bought my mom last night and even though it was within my calories it still made me feel nauseous after I was done.0 -
Yesterday was probably one of my worst eating days ever. Haha.
I'll be working on getting back on track this week.0 -
Thanks to all for your encouragement!0
