Pleasbe firm with me

I'm not really into being mean, but you need to realize you've almost accomplished 1/2 of your weightloss goal. Don't let your bad news be topped by self created bad news. You can control your next bite. Your next meal. Your next weigh in. So do it. (There, that was my attempt at mean! LOL)

The only thing you will gain from continuing to make bad food decisions and not exercising will be all the weight you've already lost. And all that will do is make you feel worse about yourself, which will make the work situation even more difficult to handle. DO NOT GIVE UP. Do something positive for yourself instead.

Friend me if you'd like... but don't wimp out at this point... you've come too far!

Hi, why don't you allow yourself one naughty night per week. Mine is Friday, when I have exactly what I want for dinner (tonight it's fish n chips, hubby's getting them now). The rest of the weekend it's cooked meals (calorie counted) and then Monday to Friday I'm eating a well known brand of diet ready meal lol. I find it really hard not to snack, so I'm tending to have brekkie and dinner and the rest of my cals are in snack form. It's working for me so far (6 pounds lost) but you've lost loads more so you prob have better tips to give yourself.

I allow myself to go out 1-2x a week, but only if i stay in my calories by doing so! If i drink, i dont have pop as mixer but either use a cranberry juice, or straight shot with lemon. light beer instead of full. If you must eat doritos, thats fine, but eat the serving. Stay within your calories! Its ok to splurge a little but only within reason. dont give urself free nights because thats a way to get out of control and easily slide back into binge eating... a free night should be a planned thing, like you eat low cal all day to save up enough calories to eat a certain dinner u desire...but if that certain thing makes u go over then its not allowed.

Yesterday I went out for dinner, and i had full flavor icecream for dessert, i went out for coffee, etc, and I was still 300cal under my limit.. and i didnt starve all day

If you dont log the bad food you eat then how can anyone tell u NO?? How can you expect someone to be mean to u if ur diary looks normal? You need to hold urself accountable for EVERYTHIGN you eat, and within seeing everything laid out, you will begin to change habbits.. but if u let it slide all the time, u r not helping yourself.

DON'T DO IT!
Sorry, that was me being firm...and a bit of a drama queen...


Anyway, what do you get from eating out? About 30 minutes of enjoying good-tasting but bad-for-you food? And how do you feel after you eat it? My guess is you feel worse than you did before you ate. As Brad Pitt says when he guest-starred on Friends, "It's food, Monica. it's not love." I hope you can stay strong and get through this stressful time. And maybe when stressful times come around again, you can draw from what you learned this time and break the cycle once-and-for-all! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
