EPIC FOOD FAILS- Indulge today? VENT POST it.

UUUGGGH. I'm nursing an almost 3 month old so my appetite is UNCONTROLLABLE! I'm trying to reel it back with some protein shakes but no matter how much water I drink or how much protein/fat I eat, I'm always starving! Last night I saved calories to go to CPK and have pizza and lettuce wraps but I was tempted by a strawberry margarita... and thus went over in cals cause I didn't do any cardio yesterday. Oh well. So worth it.

um, yeah.

No.

Not today, but 2 days ago...EXTREMELY stressed out and against my good judgement bought a medium size bag of kettlecorn. Told myself I would only eat half (so why not buy the smaller bag, right? Ha ha ha). I pounded that entire bag in about 10 minutes and enjoyed every morsel. Was pretty much within my cals for the day, although my carb macro was WAY high and protein too low.

Zero calorie noodles are an epic fail. Never again.

Haha i tried those, they were so rubbery and flavorless it was difficult to even chew them.

i heard they smell fishy. BLECH. no thanks.

They smell rubbery to me. And taste rubbery. And I thought I prepped them right... Never again.

Found some black bean noodles, though - and as a lovely side-effect, they're really really filling! But they absorb sauce a bit too much for my taste. Leads to some nice flavour combos, though.

I'm all about the IIFYM method so I eat "indulgences" very frequently and make them fit.

However, I get what you're saying. I didn't have a "fail" today, but last weekend I went on a trip with my husband and ate a lot more than usual. I also got in lots of exercise...but I still wasn't too proud of some of the choices I made!

Probably the kicker for me was Sunday morning...we went for pre-zoo Dunkin Donuts. I had a terrible donut called "spring bouquet" or something like that, and a yummy Bavarian crème. Huge black coffee. We were gonna leave but a huge downpour happened so we just relaxed in the restaurant for a bit and I talked myself into a big ol' toasted coconut donut as well. That was awesome but totally unplanned and over the top, for me.

Stuff like that doesn't really get me down though. The way I see it, my goal is to be thinner in a year than I am right now...but I don't really care if I lose a pound + in a week anymore as long as I don't get larger!

I ate a slice of triple chocolate creme cake for lunch.

that sounds like an EPIC WIN to me

My last epic fail was making some 'chouquettes' (sugar puffs) for the kids and eating them all before I even picked them up from school. Oops. That was like 3 weeks ago. And I was over by 1000 or something.

A medium fail was a couple days ago, I had too much protein cheesecake at lunch. Ended up skipping dinner because I wasn't hungry... then it hit me and I ate too much. So I was 200-300 calories over my TDEE. Should just have got a light dinner instead. Oh well.

I also eat a lot of ice cream but it typically fits in my calories, so that's not a fail, more like a win.

but what do they taste like? not noodles i bet.

They do, actually! They're just really fragile when you're handling them. I love 'em in alfredo sauce.


Also - legit food fail. I forgot my chicken breast for my salad today. ;A;
My... my protein! My hunger!

I used to eat one , EVERY DAY for like 2 weeks .. just moved to Houston and discovered Shipleys donuts aka best donuts ever. So I went cold turkey for a month so today I was like screw it, might be my Friday donut special

You went cold turkey. Never go cold turkey.

I had one of those days that were full of bad choices.

For breakfast, I had 1.5 sausage and cheese kolaches.
Lunch was 1 maple glazed donut.
Dinner is about to be a grilled chicken sandwich from Wendy's. And fries.

It's rare that I go over my daily goal, but when I do I go all in.

When I mess up it will be due to 2 king size Hershey with almonds.

My favorite candy bar, I probably fit one in my goal every night.

Olive Garden, bread sticks.....Alfredo sauce.......Pasta...........I FAIL

Not really fail, since I budgeted for it, but plan on splurging on movie popcorn with EXTRA butter tonight.

I did that last weekend and the popcorn was good!!
Today has been an eating out day. 2 tacos from jack in the box for breakfast and a cheeseburger from Farmer Boys for lunch. And I'm going out to dinner but I do have 700 calories left for the day without any exercise. Not a total failure but I don't like eating out that much, too much salt!

One time because I was attempting to "diet" I ate celery. Epic fail, waste of up-and-down jaw motion.

I ate a box of chocolates last night...while watching Extreme Weight Loss...lol

I love this! Sounds like something I would do

I think eating is not failing. Eating is the fuel that keeps us alive! We all spurge on different things. Log it, work out, and carry on!
