Its good to get these things out some times.

Go on...tell us what you did!!

I'll start.

On Thursday I ate 3 slices of chocolate cake. (the only reason I was under my calories is becasue I spent hours in the gym working it off...but if I have put on weight this week ...its totally becasue of that)

good cake though.

    This will be a pre-emptive confession. Normally my wife and I have our weekly "cheat meal" every Friday night. But I have one of my old friends from college coming in town today so we saved our cheat meal for tonight. I will be drinking beer, eating fried chicken tenders with mashed potatoes, creamed corn and biscuits. Today is my day off from the gym so I will go well over my calories. But tomorrow, I will be in the gym for an 18-mile bike ride and a 2-3 mile run. So, I'm going to enjoy the food tonight and sweat it out tomorrow!!!

    I've had two unplanned "cheat" days this week. And lots of Valentine's Day treats already.

    I hate when my husband travels - I eat and eat and eat.

    But, I avoided the Outback Steak House fries that I wanted and got a salad wrap with easy dressing instead.

    I decided not to go grocery shopping - just to avoid having lots of food in the house to eat.

    My confession - I'm a sad eater. I overeat when I am sad. It's just one of those days. I'm going to get out of this house and put my energy into the beauty in life.

    I have been on MFP since the beginning of the year & up until about a week ago I hadn't done ANY exercise AND I was losing weight. NOW I would say I'm addicted to the gym. I like the way I feel after going & LOVE the extra calories.
    Confessed.

    I'm sorry that you're having a sad day :(

    My confession is that nothing seems appetizing to eat anymore since I started at MFP a couple of weeks ago. I'm discovering that calorie counting, which I have never done before, really marries with any latent neurotic personality traits and that I've only eaten some grapes this morning..a handful.

    When I first started I was hungry but I wasn't even- thinking about what I WANTED to eat. It's like my brain has reset and no longer even knows what it wants.

    So ultimately- I am confessing that I'm under eating I think. I didn't plan on it and don't feel gratified by it so today I'm spending time thinking about it and analyzing why I don't want to eat....

    It sounds as though you have moved into a lose weight frame of mind and your body is reacting,no idea how to make it happen but hopefully you can take that and adapt it to a healthy me frame of mind. :flowerforyou:

    I have to confess that I have not been eating as well as I would have liked to this week at all. It has been filled with cookies! Ugh my darn weakness. I have to admit I have been doing better towards the end of this week but girl scout peanut butter sandwiches, darn little things I just love them!

    I ate my first slice of pizza for the first time this year last night . It was a thin slice of cheese and it was amazing. I forgot how good pizza tasted. I went to the local pizzaria, ordered 1 slice to go and took it home. I used to put down a 16" no problem. I have no regrets about last night and I feel great! I was still under my calorie goal for the day which was a good thing.

    I don't think I could ever eat just one slice of pizza : D

    Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been....a long dang time since my last confession.

    I confess that I have been taking an herbal supplement that suppresses off my appetite. It keeps me from doing the random munching that I have a tendency to do, especially since I travel 100% for work.. This means I am in airports a lot and surrounded by crappy food.

    I know that I am cheating (myself) because the goal is to condition myself to not munch for no reason. An appetite suppressant is a temp fix, not a lifestyle change.

    There, I confessed. I guess I should say some Hail Marys and Our Fathers now.

    (Can you tell that I am Catholic and went to Catholic school for half of my life:laugh: :laugh:)
