MAJOR BAD DAY!

New day and new week is right! Just work at remembering how eating that stuff made you feel. When I have a day that I eat out and I feel like crap I really try to get myself to remember how I felt so I don't want to do it again. One meal, one step and one day at a time we will get there!!!

I completely agree!! If you pay attention on how you feel aftwards you'll start to look at those menues differently. Then you'll get tired of feeling tired and sluggish and change you mind. I gave up those meals and if I get stuck having no choice I usually get the "grilled" chicken anything.

Ya my bad day was yesterday as well I had McDonalds salad and a small shamrock shake and Taco Bell chicken qusilleda (sp) and fries supreme with a pepsi.

It's just one day. Don't obsess over it and make today a great day!

I had a horrible day yesterday as well. 2300 calories is what I ate. That's twice what I usually do. I had McDonald's for lunch (cheeseburger happy meal) and Red Robin (Avocado Bacon Burger and fries) for dinner. Horrible. This is the worst day I've had in a long time. Oh well, new day today.

We all have had them. Don't beat yourself up over this b/c you are right, today is a new day. A fresh start! I used to be a fast food junkie. When I started out I was determined to give up all fast food. I did and then I was having a bad day and just needed my comfort food. So I went to McDonald's and had the Big Mac, large french fries and large sweet tea. About 2 hours later, I felt even worse from all the fried food, sugar and fats my body had already become accustomed to not having. Did it taste good when I was eating it? Absolutely! Would I love to have another? Absolutely! BUT I know what I will be doing to my body AND how it will make me feel, so I don't.
If you find your self faced with being at a fast food place, get a salad or something that is grilled with out all the mayo or sauces that they may add to it and wheat bread if they offer it. This way you will feel better about your choices and not beat yourself up.

As we continue on our journeys, our bad days will be fewer and farther between.

Stay focused and strong,
Carol

The only time there is no tomorrow is when you give up. Without looking at your food dialry it's hard to say how bad it was. Were your calories blown?

This musta been the bad weekend for everyone! Yesterday I was in a hurry and I too has McDonald's...grilled chicken ranch wrap and a small fry. Today I had homemade corned beef hash and two fried eggs for breakfast and Steak n Shake double steak burger for lunch...I wasn't thrilled with those choices, but I did work my butt off doing yard work, heavy duty stuff too, lots of digging, wheelbarrowing, chopping wood...but it doesn't take away the guilty grease feelings...

The smell of mcdonalds and those kinds of places make me want to hurl. Not to say that I don't have times where some of it sounds good.

I read this somewhere else, but just like we log our food here, you can also start "logging" (writing it down, journal style) about how something makes you feel after you eat it, it is just another way to track your food intake. Especially if your an emotional eater, binge eater or you have certain triggers that make you go after certain foods. I personally know eating is way more than my taste buds and my stomach, 99% of it is in my head!!
