Well I resisted for as long as I could but I def just had a mini binge :( I ate 4 Sugar Cookies and a pack of Little Debbie Peanut Butter thingy's! I feel like crap and now I have no more calories for the day. Not sure if I will be able to exercise because hubby has to work late. Damn TOM had to ruin my good work! Feeling really icky and down right now! :frown: :brokenheart:

    Make something healthy when you get home and try to do little things, like take the stairs, walk in place during commercials while watching TV-- It's still early enough that the whole day doesnt have to be a wash.

    It happens...especially during TOM. I just went on a 3-day binge with my last time. Don't sweat it, pick yourself up and start over. Eat healthy the rest of today, don't worry about what you have already eaten. The past is the past don't let it direct your future. Hugs coming your way!!!

    I've put myself in a similar spot, only the reason I didn't exercise is that I had a plumbing emergency @ my house last night/this morning, so I *could* have worked out, but I couldn't have showered before work, which would just be gross, so I skipped it today. My snacking was also more than I intended too. I'm planning to eat veggies & salad for dinner, and just try to drink more water & chew gum to pass any cravings.

    It happens, just put it behind you and do better tomorrow.
    Don't think about it, go about your day eat a healthy diner and start from fresh tomorrow.

    Dont feel bad. If it makes you feel any better i was so grumpy from sitting in traffic this morning and the cold weather i got pissed off and went to mcdonalds for a mcmuffin and coffee. i also dont have much left for calories. Keep your chin up and know tommorrow is a new day:flowerforyou:

    Don't get down on yourself. If it was so easy, there would be no website to help. Eat a healthy dinner and start again tomorrow.
    If you can , go for a walk or do a minnie workout at home. Both burn calories and you will feel great.

    Thank you everyone for the support! Not sure why I do this to myself... I could feel it coming on but I was powerless to stop it. I am trying so hard that I just hope it doesn't set me too far back!

    I totally understand the whole TOM thing because I am having the same problem now. My chocolate craving is kicking in horribly. It is ok, don't beat yourself up. We all slip sometimes. It is ok to have an off day. Just wake up tomorrow with a new outlook and a new day. Do the best you can today!! Walk in place if you can to help get off some of the calories, but it is ok. Tomorrow is another day!!!

Try to make some healthier choices tomorrow and the rest of the week and you want even feel the effects of one bad day...I'm sure after 18 lbs down you want give him...you'll pick yourself back up and just know that is behind you for a few weeks...:love:

    Pick yourself up! Dust yourself off! Don't blame your period for your weakness...Self - control for next time when you feel like a mini binge...or perhaps next time eat some cut up veggies so you won't feel to guilty about it....Best wishes...xo

    Just eat a lighter dinner and workout if you can and move on from it.

    However, don't forget about this. Next time you feel like you want to binge on junky stuff, remember this day and remember how bad you felt after you ate these foods. This is what helped me amp up my self control in general, but especially around junk foods.

    Trust me, next time this happens and you fight it off successfully you will be so proud of yourself. And that feeling much more powerful and long lasting than what you get out of eating cookies and cakes.

    It's all good. Bad habits which have taken a long time to develop will take a while to break. As you can see from the comments, we are all very guilty of succumbing to our cravings. The best thing to come of this "tragedy" is that not only have you admitted that you have fallen but you realise what you've done & next time, whether your realise it now or not, you will be more aware.

    Keep you chin up, you've kicked yourself in the butt, now let's do this :-) :-) :-)

    Don't feel bad. I went over my calorie intake by 500 today and it's not even my TOM. Damn pizza parties at work. I just made up for it at dinner and worked out hardcore. I'm still 54 over but I guess that's not so bad.

    Start over fresh w/the next meal.....
    We're allowed to have a bad day once in a while. It's the constant bad days that will sabotage our efforts.
