I Need Help!!

Ok I have/had this problem. You have to get back on the wagon and you know you want too or else you wouldn't be reaching out for help. Here is what I recommend everytime someone has this problem, allow yourself a junk day. Get it all out of your system and that way your not depriving yourself. It's like a reward for being good. If you can't just stop at one day then I say avoid it all together or start working out like a mad woman to keep up with your eating habits. You have to do the work and you have to find out what works for you. I will only allow myself something if I am doing my karate and will burn it off, it will fit into my calories or it's on my junk day. Another option is finding the foods you like in a lower calorie version. I never thought I would eat reduced fat chedar cheese but it's not so bad. Just remember it's all up to you...it just depends on how bad you want it

That happens to me also at holidays or when I go out. The worst thing is to see that you are over in your calories for the day. My theory is that even if you over eat, still record everything because then you are able to see your behaviour patterns. Once you see them before you, you can correct them. It's like using a debit card and not looking at the receipts compared to paying with a check and recording everything. It's right before your eyes. I fell off the wagon at a reception last week and my brother got me back on. He joined MFP after me. It is good to have an accountability partner.
Don't worry, it's not how hard you fall but how high you bounce back after the fall.

Just get back on the wagon and have the small portions of what you like. Also if you are not exercising start doing that so then you can have more to the items you like.

The thing that works best for me is having one evening a week (for me it's Wednesdays) where I can eat literally whatever I want. That way, whenever I crave something during the rest of the week, I don't think 'oh god I can never eat that again it'll make me so fat' (which only makes me want it more!), I just say to myself 'not long till Wednesday!' and eat something else. Then, come Wednesdays, I eat really well during the day, make sure I get plenty of fruits, veges and protein, then come home and give in to a week's worth of cravings. The best thing is that I'm usually pretty full from eating well all day, and most of the cravings have gone away, so I don't binge nearly as badly as I would if I ate that crap every day. I still go hundreds of calories over my goal every Wednesday, but given that I know for me that if I let myself have 'just a little' of my favourite foods whenever I wanted I'd go hundreds over my calories EVERY day, it's worth it

I've found that I have "trigger" foods. These things make me go bonkers. Otherwise, I've found that I do best without limiting things. If I say I cannot eat ice cream, then even though I don't normally eat ice cream it will be all I want. I work with a 63 year old woman who has never been over 125 lbs. in her life, except pregnancies, and I've learned that she will make adjustments in her day to accomodate foods she loves or dinner plans. It is definitely a lifestyle change. Good luck getting back on track. You're in the right place to make serious changes and have tons of support.

Oh man, I know the feeling. I have a really big sweet tooth, and it can be pretty hard sometimes not to have certain foods I really like (chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is my weakness). Like what others have said, what I do is just practice portion control. I still let myself have ice cream and some little sweets every now and then, I just try to keep the amounts I eat a little on the smaller side. If you have problems doing that, one thing that I have found helps me is to drink a LOT of water throughout the day, especially when you want to over eat. If I want a snack or I'm getting ready to eat lunch or something, I'll start drinking water before I eat and keep drinking it throughout my meal as well. It curbs my appetite so that I don't over eat and so I can be satisfied with my smaller portions. The only things I have cut out completely is fast food and other things that are just flat out bad for me, but I honestly don't really miss them that much considering how much better I feel without them. Everyone is right, completely denying yourself things usually leads to you wanting it more and binge eating. If you want something that isn't particularly the best thing to eat, you can also try to plan what else you eat throughout the day around it. If you want to have something "bad" or even if you just know you want to have a big dinner, just have smaller meals throughout the day, or eat a little more healthy throughout the day so that you can have what you're craving for dinner.

Don't be discouraged because you had a bad weekend. I'm sure a LOT of people had a bad weekend! lol Do you weigh yourself every day or do you have a weigh in day each week?
