    One day isn't going to destroy your diet.

    And as others have said, you need to get some help fixing your relationship with food because you don't seem to want to listen to and implement the large amount of good advice that you've received.

    I am implementing the stuff, I just had a bad time this evening cause i got a low blood sugar. A humans brain doesn't function properly when low on sugar. So I made really bad food choices and I feel terrible about it. Please understand I am implementing. Just like this: Eating at a deficit, logging and weighing everything, lifting heavy and doing some cardio.

    chocolate covered pomegranates

    The endless combinations of chocolate covered stuff never ceases to amaze me.

    Chocolate is as universal a food pairing as bacon! You can chocolate cover anything.

    Chocolate covered bacon.

    Mmmm.

    Oh, and OP...

    ...uh...

    ...listen to the mostly awesome advice you're getting on this thread...

    ...and in all of your threads before it.

    Actually I like chocolate covered espresso beans.



    There has to be room in everyone's "diet" for espresso beans, booze, AND onion rings. This is supposed to be a lifestyle change you can LIVE with, permanently. If that meant no more onion rings, forever, well.. that'd suck. It means more good food than bad ON AVERAGE. Not every single day.

    Each day is just a single piece of the puzzle that forms your life. It matters not what's on each piece. It matters what the picture looks like when you're finished.

    So then what's the problem?

    You're implementing strategy, feel good about that. Or, for reals, get some help.

    Then call it a "cheat meal' and let it go. Seriously.

    You know what I did today? I went to my favorite BBQ joint and ordered the pork and beef combo and washed it down with a beer. Then I ordered a 1/2 a rack of ribs and washed that down with another beer. Then my kids and wife wanted dessert so we ordered a big chocolate cake and a peanut butter pie. Oh and I washed THAT down with another beer. Then I took my very happy self home and napped on the couch for 4 hours on the couch while the kids used me as a jungle gym.

    And you know what? It felt really good. I mean damn good!

    Do I do that every day? No. Do I even do that every week? No.

    Most days I track my diet like an OCD statistician. But I'm human and you're human and we all need a damn break once in a while. Take it. Please. Let it go. You'll be much happier and successful for it.

    THEN you shouldn't " feel terrible about it. Please understand"

    Have you considered seeing someone about your relationship with food? And self esteem too maybe?

    NO that costs money...

    Sweet, negative nancy...

    there's a lot of good free resources online. Google is a pretty handy tool.

    Even if there weren't free....after seeing a few of your posts and such, I think you need to seriously think about investing in getting assistance with your mental health. Getting fit isn't just a physical thing after all.

    maybe you should blog instead of making topics.

    trying to reassure you doesnt seem to work

    you seem like an *kitten*..she not on here for you to make her feel worse.keep your nasty comments to yourself..no one on here wants to hear negative comments

    If you think it, it will be so.
    Change your attitude.

    We all fall off the wagon. Pick yourself up and move on. Lack of confidence is not attractive.

    Plus, the point was a valid one. Blogging could very well be a better venue for the continuous reassurances that OP needs (and her need to vent).

    That up there!

    It's you against yourself.

    If you think you are beaten, you are;
    If you think you dare not, you don't;
    If you'd like to win, but think you can't,
    It's almost certain that you won't.
    If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
    For out in the word we find that
    Success begins with a fellow's will,
    It's all in the state of mind.

    If you think you're outclassed, you are;
    You've got to think high to rise.
    You've got to be sure of yourself before
    You can ever win a prize.
    Life's battles don't always go
    To the stronger or faster man;
    But sooner or later the man who wins
    Is the man who thinks he can.

    i wouldnt feel so bad.i binged last week at a buffet...yeah...made me feel like i was a 600 lb person that was at a buffet for that exact reason,to keep going up for more.but then later the realization was that one day of binging wasnt going to make me gain back all the weight ive lost.dont deprive yourself of the foods you crave,eat them occasionally.so that way you get that fix..or find alternatives.if you want ice cream try a fruit bar instead_edy's makes great fruit bars with less than 100 per fruit bar, i bought a box and each one only has 25 calories to it.

    Why don't you look at that person's profile before you start name calling? She's been very helpful to a good number of people on here, and I'm so very sorry you had to read something that wasn't what you were expecting, but if you care more about success than teddy bear hugs, then I strongly suggest you STFU and listen a bit.

    Watching someone beat themselves up post after post isn't pretty, and eventually others react negatively, or start "yelling."

    I guess if I were you I would be more focused on figuring out how to prevent anymore lows. Did you skip a meal, is your insulin dosage too high? Did you eat too few carbohydrates at your last meal or snack?

    I would get some individual servings of peanut butter (assuming you're not allergic) and keep them on hand. A serving of that should get your sugars back up the normal range. Lows suck for sure. Don't beat yourself up over it!

    And calling someone "an *kitten*" won't help anybody
  • I hear your pain and also have blood sugar problems. See if you can get a hold of a movie called "Hungry for Change" it changed the way I see food and it changed my life. It was the biggest eye opener and wake up call I had in my life! I hope it does the same for you.

    lol..Right! Exactly how is it okay for you to wag your finger and scold others when you do worse than what you are scolding about?

    Mmm, 2nd time I've come across the chocolate covered espresso beans thing today. I'm taking it as a sign & running with the idea of ordering some :tongue:

    You seem rather hypocritical.
    You're being negative to Crank and people don't want to hear negative, right?

    OP, journaling - whether here or on paper could be very beneficial to you.
    It's one day and maybe getting some help is a good idea.
    It doesn't need to be all nothing because you're just making it harder for yourself.

    This is a very good point.

    If your mood and depression as well as the unhealthy parts of your relationship with food is irrevocably linked to your blood sugar it seems it would be an excellent strategy to control your blood sugar to the best of your ability and let the rest happen more naturally.
