I just want to eat and NOT CARE

Normally i would give up on my whole plan but lately when i do i come on here. I look through the success story.sectiom and the motivaton one and i get through. All if u have a facebook i would suggest joing fit 4lifesisters its a great motivational group like this strong and i know its hard but we can tell its worth it

All the time, Its been really hard for me, I snack on stuff all the time, the last week of the month is always painful for me, cause i don't have much in the house to eat I look and look for stuff to eat, I come up with all sort of things to eat. I eat when I am Made, upset. or just depressed lately i have been at least 2 of those. so its really hard, I decided when i got the treadmill that anytime i got hungry or bored i was going to go get on the treadmill but i haven't really done that

Good luck to you

eating and not caring led to me being bigger than i wanted to be, unhappy and unhealthy.

its action/reaction. if i'm that hungry it's either geniune hunger or boredom. so i go for a walk. if i'm still hungry when i get back, i eat what i walked.

i almost never end up eating. i'm not often hungry. i graze on healthy too much to be hungry

Yep, it happens, I try to fight it to a point, and sometimes I can, when I can't I just say **** it and give in, usually for me I'll eat healthy meals and then a lot of junk inbetween, but at least I get nutrition

I think that it is ok to have a splurge every now and then. Just don't make it a habit. Have a bad day and brush your shoulders off and move on. This is a lifestyle not a plan.

One bad day will not undo months of progress. It's just that: one bad day. Think of the months of good days you have had and will continue to have in the future. A little bit of what you fancy does you good :drinker:

Since no one asked, how many calories are you eating per day?

Nope, I guess it's called willpower. Not once in over a year have I ever not worked out or ever pigged out. I know what I wanted to look & feel like an I know that I'm the only one who gives a damn & will do the job.

There is never a reason for giving up.

I understand episodes like this, where my body is trying to tell me something : EAT MORE. But the right stuff, that is....

Sometimes, when university work is overwhelming etc, I do manage to cook my healthy meals. But In times of mental and physical stress I sometimes forget to fuel my body efficiently, especially since I work out days a week, lifting. -> my deficit is too high.

The key is to 'give in' to the urge to eat more, but at the same time, be prepared when these day come. Stuff yourself with colourful salads, fruits, raw vege, stuff like low fat cottage cheese. I believe even if u go over on ur daily cals by eating loads of helathy, fresh foods once in a while, it won't do too much harm but rather do good, whereas with junk and sweets...

just carry on the following day, and maybe eat a little more to avoid these slipups ;-)

^^ Good for you! Not very helpful though...

You may find that occasionally you do get The Hunger, it happens to 99.9% of us (the post above is the 0.01%), I think that you will find they become less frequent if you stay on MFP, I certainly have. When I DO succumb I log everything, EVERYTHING, and at least then you can refer back to the less than perfect days and learn from them. Try to not have many high calorie or unhealthy stuff in easy reach if possible, if you have trigger foods that you can't help yourself with (mine are dry roasted peanuts) buy only a small packet, and if you do feel the urge to eat make yourself as busy as possible preferable away from food or doing something that prevents you from eating like cleaning the loo :laugh:

Above all, log it, acknowledge it, learn from it, move on. As Alexander Pope wrote, to err is human; to forgive, divine. :flowerforyou:

Sometimes I feel that way, so sometimes I eat that way.

After I lost 20 pounds, I decided to give myself one weekend day a week to not log my food. Not even so much to eat a lot or eat junk, but just to be able to eat "normally." Like just grab a handful of chips or pretzels without measuring an exact portion, or go out to dinner without googling their nutritional information, or having a glass or two of wine. Logging everything, every day, makes me feel too obsessive.

When I reached my goal weight, I took both weekend days off from logging, as well as holidays, birthdays, vacation. Since I've been maintaining for a year and 8 months, I'd say that's been a plan that's worked very well for me.

I've learned that as long as I stay a little below my TDEE during the week, I can't eat enough on the other days - even Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween and my brother's pig roast - to undo all the good I've done.

I had two cupcakes for breakfast today. They were delicious.

PMS will do that to a woman.

Other things that make me want to lose my face in the fridge:

Boredom
Restlessness
Frustration
Stress
Seasonal Affected Disorder
Anger
Celebration
Sadness
Being with people
Being alone
Waking up early
Staying up late
Illness
Recovering from illness
Sitting on the sofa
Exercising
Mondays
Christmas (all of December, really)
Rainy days
Breathing

"Breathing"

LMAO :laugh:

OP, I think we all have days like that. I think the key is just to recognize that you did it, log it so you're accountable for it, then move on to the next day as if you had a clean slate, and do better. It's really a matter of how you decide to look at it: as a crushing, guilt-worthy defeat (which is more likely to send you into a spiral of more bad eating and self-deprecation), or as a small (probably enjoyable) slip-up that will have no effect on your progress in the long term (which is more likely to allow you to move past it quickly with a positive attitude).

I wanted to do that yesterday but instead of buying candy, I bought Shape magazine. Reading through it and looking at the healthy people who have met their goals helped me to not binge. As soon as I got home I hit the gym and pushed myself! I felt better than I ever would have after a binge episode. I usually give in, but yesterday I didn't. I know you can do it! BE STRONG! Talk to yourself.

I think everyone will have those days its only human nature and those that say they don't well fair play to them, important thing is not to beat yourself up about it. Yesterday I happened to be out with some friends and ended up snacking on crisps and the likes that night and I actually really enjoyed it because I've got to that stage now where I've learned what is good for me and what I need to do to stay on track so in the essence of an "off" day I take it as that...back on the wagon the next day, enjoy these foods in moderation and have a positive mindset and you will get there! Don't let one bad day knock you, its when it turns into a series of bad binging you need to reconsider what you really want, moderation is key....best of luck with you weight loss journey!...And believe me i know exactly what it feels to be like i just want to eat what i want today without worrying about calories, nutritional, macro needs...the lot, sometimes we need days like that!..After all it is a lifestyle change, can't restrict ourselves all our lives!
