    I hate when that happens, but it is going to happen again and again for me. I try to not let it get me down. I just pick myself up and start again.

    I was weighing myself every day as a sort of experiment and found that I naturally fluctuate throughout the week. I wouldn't beat myself up about the number. If you love chips maybe you could portion yourself out a few servings to have throughout the week and maybe next time the bag won't tempt you? Good luck!

    Wow, to me "cheating, cheated" seems so harsh. I love certain things and I am hoping to be able to lose while still being able to enjoy those things every once in a while. Is that considered "cheating"? What exactly is "cheating"?

    Sandy I thought the same thing. I used to think of eating in terms of black and white. I did well or I didn't. I ate something "good" or something "bad". Then I changed my thought process and even made a conscious effort to include foods I considered "bad" like chips and bread in my diet. It has helped me moderate and judge my food and myself less harshly. And enjoy those things more rather than feel guilty.

    Chippies and Doritos are my fault....if I had a handful is be ok with that but I ate the whole bag!!!! Just my way of kicking my own *kitten*. I could have and should have measured a portion!

    You gals need to stop feeling guilty about yourselves and think positive, enjoy the foods you like as long its within your calorie goals, Lillian is right :)

    Dont worry u can lose those pounds again , the most important thing is to do a flixible life style and can eat w u like by controlling portions , preventing w u like will lead u to fail , so dont be upset
