Ugggghhhhh!!!!!!!! How do you not eat while watching tv? I am so mad at myself group....I could cry.

So pumped yesterday, but this is one of my weakness's...stress eating and eating when I watch tv.

This new picture of me I put up is where I want to get back to. This was in Myrtle Beach 3 years ago, we are going back in 8 weeks. I'm like 20 lbs heavier now than in the picture..

.I know I won't lose it all, but I am so frustrated that I was so pumped, did great, then friggin went to bed and ate pretzels with ranch and mustard, then had cereal. :( I'm just being honest, that is who I am, no BS from this girl. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I ate a lot more yesterday than I should have too.

    Just log it and move on today.

    Another thing that helps me is remembering how bad I felt after I over ate, soooo not worth the 10 minutes of eating!

    I had the same problem! For me, the solution was to put a treadmill in front of the TV. Now, whenever I watch, I get on the treadmill and walk. Nothing crazy or strenuous, just a steady, leisurely pace while watching TV. I do find that I am not craving food after exercise either. It has been a great help. Good luck!

    Just do what you have to; premeasure snacks, eat fruit, use less sauces etc. just remember its one mess up and youll have more. Just dont let them take over and always get back on that horse, whether its a clydesdale or a shetland pony.
