I DID REALLY BAD TODAY!!!! I haven't done very well lately. I take medicine for a disease I have and it makes it where I'm never hungry but I never get full. So when I start eating, I don't get full so I don't stop if it's good. Today being Thanksgiving, I went at least 2,000 calories OVER what I should. I NEED ADVICE!!!!!!!!! DESPERATELY!!! How can I stop eating all this bad food when I'm constantly going to partys with friends and family and they are all eating a ton of really bad food?? I hope someone has some answers:sad:

I didn't do very good today either (I went over by about 800)...I think I kind of knew that I would do badly and let myself (no self control I guess). But the main thing is that we try harder tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that, etc... Maybe you should think about eating before you go out with everyone or decide what you are going to eat before you go and stick with it. Just don't give up and know that you can do this...you are a strong person and remember that while they are eating so unhealthy, they are hurting themselves and you have decided to make a lifestyle change...maybe you could even get them interested in it too or tell them your plan, so you will feel obligated to do right in front of them. Good Luck:flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I went over 900 myself. No wonder I'm hitting a floor.
As far as advice - and speaking only for myself - it really doesn't matter what anyone says to me. I've heard it all before. I know the consequences of going over my targets. I wish someone could say a "thing" that would "cure" me, but no amount of advice or quotes is going to change anything.
To me, it comes down to self discipline. Either I really *want* it, or I don't want it so much; and that varies from day to day. There is no solution for me but to work the "program". When I do not, I see the consequences. When I do, I see the results.
My advice to myself (my little SOS) is to Snap Out of it, Stupid!!!. If you would like to share that with me, feel free!

I have the same problem and this is what works for me. If I want to eat something bad for me I check the calories and if I really want it I increase my workout to cover the extra calories. For about 3 weeks I was exahusted from all the extra exercise. After doing that for a while bad foods didnt look good anymore. Its not worth that extra hike up the mountain or extra round of Tae Bo.
Hope that helps.0 -
be "thankful" that the day after thanksgiving....you have mfp to come back to.... 0

Correction. I only went 585 over. Still bad but less dispiriting. I'd forgotten to log my exercise. I would have been fine if not for those stupid corn chips. :grumble:0

just a little tip... to stop overeating....
big glass of cold water right before you eat, and eat slower..............
if you eat too fast your brain doesnt have the chance to register that your full, so you keep eating and eating..... dont worry...... flush yourself with tons++ of water today, and get back on track....
Actually think of it as a good thing... you fell off and use this feeling you have to push yourself to not do it again... If you feel like you let yourslf down, then you are truely attached to this..
For someone to cheat here and there and not feel down about it, then maybe there not as committed as you are for being so hard on yourself.... you know what I mean?
You hurt yourself by eating that much and your disappointed...so use that feeling to reflect back on next time the occasion arrises!!!
During events, chat more, help out serving and cleaning after, so your not sitting around looking at the food and wanting more... involve yourself and mingle more!! keep the mind busy!!!0 -
If and when I go overbord! I drink green tea! next day everything is flushed away, I'm not sure if it helps but I fee good, and I and I add more exercice.
Think of it this way!!!!! TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY. don't give up:flowerforyou:0 -
don't worry about it, it's just one day. And let this MOTIVATE you! I have a rule with my girl friends who all use this site that once every 4 weeks on a friday we stop counting for the evening and satisfy our cravings. It really helps becuase then you don't keep craving it and you can stay on track. You should try it.

I didn't do well myself. But when I stop and think about it, it was Thanksgiving and I enjoyed. It wasn't the end of the world. Today I went to the gym, turned it up a notch, and started back on track. We don't have that many holidays that we have big gatherings. I think we should be able to enjoy. Just as long as we return to our regular workouts.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.0 -

Have you tried planning your daily meals? Maybe you should plan your meals, and maybe even cook them up ahead of time. Just make the meals that fit into you calorie count. I bought a scale to weigh my foods to make sure I am eating the right portions. Have each one in a container so all you have to do is heat it up. When you go to the grocery store, make a shopping list and stick to it. Don't buy foods that are not good for you.
It' s hard to break the habit of junk food, but you can do it. Don't make it happen over night. Take it day by day. We are all here for you, and you can and you will do this.
When going to the parties, try drinking water before going. It will help fill you up, and alto eat a healthy snack. Hopefully this will help with the temptation. Also if you are taking food to the parties, fix something healthy, and eat that. Ask your family to help by them preparing some healthier snacks and foods. I am sure they are there for you and are willing to help you too.
Remember that this is not a diet-It a lifestyle change. It will take time and you can do it. Just remember not to beat yourself up when you have a bad day. There is always tomorrow.
To error is human.
Best of luck to you.0 -

Chew sugar free gum while packing food. You are keeping your mind & mouth busy, besides the fact that a hunk of cookie stuck in chewing gum is gross! I actually picked that trick up from watching Top Chef on Bravo! If you're a "taster" when you cook, chew gum!0 -
Thanks, I'll try:flowerforyou:0
