I have a confession

Ya, I know! I ate pizza and chinese food over the weekend! I just started back up Monday and so far I've done Great all week and feel better and I'm back on the right track. I think what threw me off was I didn't have time to work out but 3 times last week and I usually do 6 days.

Work Out! You'll feel Accomplished and better.

Nothing to forgive. You will go to gym, get some exercise in and then go hom and eat a healthy dinner. So you had a slip.......um, hello....we are human. If you never had a slip up, you probably wouldn't even be on this website. Wanna know a secret? I have a snickers bar, regularly. During the week at work, that is my indulgence. It's my one thing I look forward to, other than getting off work. I deal with it, fit it into my daily calories and move on. You will move on from this and be fine. You can always message me if you need a pep talk before you fall of the wagon.

Iagree with the others.

I had this same issue when I wasn't eating to fuel my body on a day to day basis. Make sure you are eating enough.

I have those days too, but as long as you are back on track then it doesn't matter..you can't change the past so move on and let the next few hours and tomorrow be better!

You are human - it happens and doesn't matter as long as its not a regular thing. And your honest with yourself and not ignoring that you did it.

log it and then burn it!!

Everyone has days like this.... my husband had one of those yesterday where he managed about half a loaf of bread before dinner in the space of 30 mins and wondered why he felt bloated

Do you allow yourself to have treats? ever? If not, then THAT'S why.

Don't deprive yourself of the things that make you happy. Life is too short for that. Eat well MOST of the time and schedule in a treat once in awhile. Maybe once or twice a week. Otherwise, you'll do what you did and go overboard. In the mean time, don't sweat it. One day won't hurt you. Just be smarter about next time and account for beforehand by exercising a little more or having a leaner lunch/dinner to save calories. I had ice cream last night and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it.

It's a lifestyle, it's permanent. Surely you don't plan to never have treats for the rest of your life?

FORGIVEN!!

Stop beating yourself down!! We all have moments where we cave or fall off the beaten path! the most important thing is to get back up, dust yourself off and get back to the basics!! We are NOT perfect ... we err ... we are human. It's good that you are admitting to your faults. I find that it helps me stay more accountable. You did not have to tell anyone of your slip up and continue your day, but you have already made progress!! If it helps any, next time you have that occasional treat and realize you went over board, grab a water and drink it ... see how that makes you feel. If you splurge and binge out on sugar - just log it and move on. Exercise a little harder maybe, and keep pushing forward. Eating like that once in a blue moon will not sabotage your efforts ... keep making better choices and doing what works for you!!

Just don't go home and hide over it ... better to move and rid yourself of the guilt!! you're fine - we all have those days!

It happens. Try not to worry about it, and if you can't work off all the calories tonight, don't kill yourself trying to. Just log it and move on.

I ate a ton of crap last week. I don't know what came over me, but I had Keebler Fudge Stripes, Oreos, and ice cream with chocolate syrup (sometimes all three). Oh, and a couple of Big Macs. Finally, I was like, "WTF am I doing?!?" My calories were still okay, but omg the sugar and preservatives and sodium.

I logged it all, increased my exercise a little bit, and drowned myself in water. I ended up losing another two pounds this week. Phew.

Doesn't it feel better when you confess though?? Last week I ate a.......wait for it........wait for it.........DONUT!! And I immediately went to my office and told everyone who walked in the door!!! LMAO. What is the matter with me?? People DO NOT like to be greeted with "Hi! I ate a donut this morning!", LOL. But, I just logged it and went on, and oh, by the way, I still lost a lb last week!

think about today's date, the weather, your emotional state today.........recognize any triggers?
If you can find one, you can stop it next time becasue you will be aware.

My binges always started with birthday cake. After years of the cycle, I finally figured out that one of my fondest childhood memories was going to the bakery with my grandmother. I was trying to replace her with the cakes, cookies, doughnuts, etc. But now that I know what it really is, I can sat no to the food and just try to remember her.

I started to binge today on all out sugar. I did stop... but I just am... thrown. I don't even know why or... WTF I do that for! I got a taste of that damn Boston Market chocolate chip cookie and it was like I lost all will power and control. I ended up eating 2 cookies 2 of the mini brownies and THEN at lunch I went and got a peanut butter snickers!!! I have had no craving for any of this. Just at a loss. And now I have to mentally motivate myself to go to the gym and work this off. When all I feel like doing is crawling in bed when I get home. PLEASE forgive me!

Read It Starts With Food. It explains why certain foods are addictive and why when you start eating them you have a really difficult stopping. Even if you aren't interested in the paleo diet, it has a lot of good information as to why we react to certain foods the way we do.

You above all things are human. This means that as sure as you can fall you can pick yourself right back up again. It's ok to have these days. You did better than most, you recognized it, confessed to it and now it's time for the last step....move on from it. Cut yourself some slack....there will be more days like this but as time goes on it will be less and less. Life's too short to pass up a peanut butter snickers for the rest of your life .....just saying!
