Discouraged

I know!! I didn't know that sushi had so many calories. I ate some last night too and thought it would make me barely a little over my daily goal but it almost double it! I had 6 california rolls and 2 phili rolls. I wasn't even full off that either. Thank God I didn't eat anymore! Today I ate Jack in the Box and it was less than my sushi!! I hear ya. I've been counting my calories for 2 weeks and working out regularly for a month now and I finally lost 4 pounds! Now that I know how hard it was to lose those few pounds I am afraid to go over! Don't be discouraged. Keep your eye on the prize and don't let one bad day get you down!

Just remember it's one day at a time. I started losing weight about 3 months ago when my doctor slapped me with a shocking 268 pound scale reading. In that time I have lost 41 pounds, and lord knows I have gone well over 400 calories in a day above my allotment! So don't be discouraged just pick yourself up tommorrow, be more aware, and try again. You will reach your goals, it just takes time to break those old habits. Best of luck!!!!:flowerforyou: :happy:

hang in there....

the fact that you recognize a night time tendency to over eat is empowering.... for me, after keeping a food diary, with times and feelings when i would eat, i realized that my hardest time to get through was always between 3-4 in the afternoon... now i plan two mini meals around this time so that i don't feel deprived... try playing with your meals times, or splitting a meal over a couple hours at night...

also gaining more info on what is healthy and what is not is always empowering.... sushi is healthy, but not a high saity food, and packs a lot of calories for just a little bit, so moderation is the key there....

Rather than beating yourself up, celebrate... you're learning more and more about what not to do, and how to make yourself stronger against bad habits... you're learning!!! that's success!! and soon you won't be falling off the wagon as much, and when you do, it will be a lot easier to identify why and what happened.... making it easier to forgive yourself, regroup, and drive on! Good luck, and don't despair, you ARE making progress!
