    You are lying to yourself if you think you are not going to do it again. Embrace the fact that you will in fact do it again... Then work it off.

    yep, had two bad days of not so good eating,but back at it today. I think you are right, 'fess up, absolve yourself, look at why you did it ( sometimes a person just gotta!) and get back on track. remember when we did it that way every day and that it does not work for us.

    I totally ate a whole box of theater junior mints the big box and I totally worked out for an hour before hand cuz I just knew I was going to do something bad when I went to the movies. Then I totally worked out another hour afterwards because I am not really sure how much I am burning with exercise. And it was totally not worth it, because even with a work out before and after that sugar did not sit well with me at all.

    Good point.

    I'd also suggest to have in mind less junky alternatives for those times ~ such as to have an idea what are the better meals to order at fastfood restaurants are and along that line.

    I've been eating badly today because I really can't be bothered to go shopping - its not good for me and will make me ill. My dinner was plain pasta and ham - which did not set me up for my workout, now I want to puke up! And I'm planning on doing my next workout tomorrow morning, so I think I'm going to struggle through that too!

    He's right, you most likely will do it again, work it off and do log it in your food diary. I log everything, including my screw ups....that's the only way I know I'm being honest to myself about what I'm eating. I've found for me there are also ways to eat "junk food" . My thing is ice cream, so I buy the no sugar breyers vanilla and top the PORTION (1/2 a cup to 1 cup depending on how many calories I have left) with mashed strawberries.

    My wife has lost 50kgs over the last 2 years and is now at her goal weight (has been for about 6months) She made every Friday night junk food night eat whatever she wanted but in smaller amounts. Over time she lost the desire to eat junk food.
    Her success came from cutting all meal sizes and eating more slowly, using smaller spoons, bowls and plates.
    Choosing healthier food options and not beating herself up for going over daily allowances. She still eats pizza, cheese cake, drinks cider. Her only workouts are from extra walking because of the weight she lost she now feels like walking and she has started kayaking but only every few weeks.
    She would only weight herself weekly as daily fluctuations where discouraging.
    Now my turn got to lose about 51kgs and will try the same method she did

    Just spent an hour in the kitchen preparing proteins for the week (hard boiled eggs, pre made my shakes, tuna fish, marinated the chicken, etc) to ensure that I don't cheat on my diet because "i can't find anything to eat".

    Then turned around and ate the entire 24 oz container of homemade meatball soup my mother brought over.

    I'll be working that off in the gym tomorrow.... :)

    I need to own up to an entire week of it - and I need to get back on the wagon again and starting moving forward before I undo all the hard work I've already done. Although I know I've gained back at least two pounds, I'm going to weigh in tomorrow morning, log my weight and start fresh. AND I'm going to hit my elliptical machine RIGHT NOW!! I was getting so down on myself for the week I've had - felt like such a non-loser!! But now I see I'm not alone! It's not just me! I am going to be a "loser"!! Let's roll!

    This is true don't beat your self up for this stress will only make it worse, instead embrace it and realize you will trip every once in a while and that is fine.

    "your past is determined; your future is free choice"-- Don't "beat yourself up" for the bad days and move forward back onto your plan....We are humans and will have those days where we just lose it. But, remember that YOU are important; thus, dust yourself off and get back on to being healthy.

    So funny this is here today......hubby is taking me to lunch on Monday. I will be eating my heart out. It has been way to long since I have been able to just sit and eat without measuring, counting and keeping an eagle eye on everything. I will admit,upfront, that I will eat and enjoy :0) I CAN NOT wait! I also have to admit, I can not wait to move on after and go back to what has become normal to me. I am a tiny bit worried about if my belly can handle eating food like that as well.
