DROWNING IN THE OCEAN OF DISAPPOINTMENT :(

Make sure your eating enough earlier in the day. Eat 3/4 of your calories before dinner. THis will help with that binge. If your not getting enough calories in you will grab what ever and by then it is too late

I'm sorry you're feeling down I understand that it's hard to not binge when you're done having a hard day. When I work out, I try to eat a good sized meal a couple hours before I work out, so that I'm not so famished afterwards. After working out, I try to just eat fruit, which is hard for me. So I make smoothies. They're yummy and filling and it's so much easier than munching on a bunch of fruit (at least for me). If I'm craving something salty, sometimes I'll go for chips and salsa. My roommate's dad makes REALLY spicy salsa, so I can't even eat much before my mouth is on fire. That helps me to keep from binging.

Sorry you're discouraged I just started last week, and I was super motivated and lost 3 pounds in 1 week. Then this past weekend, I was REALLY naughty and gained 2 of those 3 pounds back. But I'm keeping my ticker where its at, and trying to stay more motivated this week so I can subtract more pounds as I catch up to last week and lose more weight.

If you want to add me as a friend, I will do my best to keep you motivated

You sound exactly like I was all of last week. I'd do well during the day with food and getting my workout in. Then, at nighttime, I'd completely give up and constantly snack. I finally realized that huge lack of discipline was hurting no one but myself. I just had to search within myself to determine whether or not I really wanted the change. Something has just clicked with me now, and I just don't see any point in doing all this hard work if I don't give it my all on sticking to my diet. Hope you can remotivate yourself!

Just had a night like this tonight. I've done so good for 19 days and tonight within the past 3 and a half hours, I've eaten a cadbury creme egg, a handful of m&m's, and not 1 but 2 single serving Skinny Cow ice creams...and I ate dinner. By far the WORST day I've had since I started this journey. I've been told by my fellow frineds on here not to beat myself up, it does happen, but with each day it will get easier. Remember tomorrow is another, and you can start over. That's what I intend to do. I'm sending willpower your way

yes, we all have down days--and each time you get up, you get stronger and more confident that you can do it. There's a saying ..."◦If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed."~ David Viscott--you've already begun, now you just have to believe---really, really, really believe that you can succeed. And that's one of the best things about this site, it's just filled right to the top of people who have succeeded--and we've ALL had down days along the way. Don't give up, just get through it for today.
The other thing is make sure you save enough space (calorie wise) to have something after you workout--if you're working out too hard and then not nourishing your body, it's going to make sure, one way or another, that it gets fed.
I wish you luck and perserverance. I believe you can do it--I have to believe that 'cause then when I have my down days I can think of someone else who got through theirs.

Yes, we all most certainly have our down days... sometimes weeks but all in all we do keep putting one foot in front of the other. I am a christian so that is a #1 go to when I am down. Also begin to surround yourself with positive affirmations whether it be from qoutes or directly from someone you can trust to give you positive feed back. Just keep keeping on. You will reach your goals.

I'm so sorry you feel this way I've been like this for the last few days too. Just go easy on yourself. Maybe look into why you want to binge. When you feel that need try putting something else there that will make you feel better. Take a bath, drink hot tea, do your nails, read, whatever relaxes you. It can be so frustrating but you WILL do this! Better to regroup after a few days then a few years.

Good luck! We are here for you!

I just got finished with one of those "weeks". I craved everything not good for me. I came back with a better attitude today, I restarted with my "cleansing" (no grains for 2 weeks, sort of an induction for the South Beach diet). This helps me to rid myself of all of my cravings. I did very good today, until a few minutes ago, I started getting hungry (salad for dinner didn't last very long..lol). I haven't stocked up for snacks at home yet and all that is here are chips. I looked around the kitchen for 10 minutes and then just grabbed me glass of milk (filling). It worked. I will have to stop at store tomorrow after gym to get me some snacks for the evenings.

You can do this!!! We can all do this!!! Don't let it get you down when you slip up, come back stronger and tell yourself that you are in control.
