    Well, it was last week rather than this week but I had a corporate hospitality evening.

    Two nice bottles of Malbec may have been drunk during the course of the night.

    By me alone *facepalm*

    Yesterday I found out again why it's a bad idea to buy fresh bread from the local bakery.

    I don't do shame anymore and I think that shame for eating just makes it more difficult not to overeat. I feel so much better when the food I eat, satisfies me and nourishes me at the same time, with no regrets - that means that most of my foods are real and fresh nutrient dense food, but I can eat anything as long as I don't eat everything at once, and not all the time. So I can't fail, I just live.

    If you feel you can't refuse food offered to you, I think maybe that idea could be something you'd benefit from working on. Eating just because the food is there, isn't necessary anymore.

    Make sure your goal isn't set too aggressive. A slow but steady weightloss is more sustainable in the long run, and you're in this for a long time.

    Nah sometimes we just like food too much. I don't feel shame for eating delicious foods, but I feel guilty if I eat too much of it... which isn't a bad thing IMO, because if I didn't feel bad about it, well, I'd probably go back to being 200 pounds again.

    I had 1000 calories (probably) worth of homemade cinnamon rolls this morning and it was TOTALLY worth it. I'm probably skipping lunch too because I had a late breakfast because of it. Won't meet my macros but whatever. Will keep the rest of the day healthy and try to stay under my calories anyway... and go to the gym.

    This was a total fail week. Probably gained a pound because of all the bread and English muffins I ended up eating in the last 8 days because of PMS.

    I have been bulking but still my surplus has not been enough. I've been ravenous. I had a binge on Friday that all started with a pop tart. Anyway, besides the crazy binge, I burned the roof of my mouth on the pop tart and now I'm basically ill it hurts so badly.

    Stupid poptart.

    Fail week already and it's only Monday! Ate over 2000 calories yesterday on anything and everything I could find. Just looked at the calendar and realized it's about to be shark week, so maybe that's why. I was hoping/planning on doing really well this week until thanksgiving day and eating at maintenance for my mini vacation. Well, off to a rough start and thanksgiving isn't even here!

    Love this! I needed the laugh. I've been super busy and probably under eating until mid afternoon.... then for the past week, I've gone full werewolf every night. One day pizza, one day wings, one day beer... Oh well, back on the wagon... until Thanksgiving :)

    I'm with you. Was going to start saving calories for Thanksgiving today... yeah right TOM started yesterday and today is the worst day of it and I was just starving today and ended up 800 calories over maintenance again. But usually my appetite disappears on day 3 so I have hopes that I can at least make up for it by Thanksgiving (although yeah no calories will be banked for it).

    But this has been pretty much 2 weeks of fail.

    This thread is the best I've read on MFP. I have found honest to goodness real people. Thank you for the afternoon support. As I was reading I was eating 4 pieces of Starburst Halloween candy. That's it, the last of it, thank goodness. Have a wonderful week and only eat what's delicious on Thursday!

    Haven't hit the gym in 1.5 weeks. Thinking of making it a deuce and moving on.

    OOOH gosh it feel so good to know I'm not the only one! Today I bought some popcorn to bring to a friends house for a "comfort food" potluck (the premade stuff with cheese on it) and ate almost all of it. Which, ya know, it's popcorn, right? NBD? NOPE. almost all of my calories.

    Absolutely not worth it. I would so much rather be drinking some wine right now.

    Yup, I blew it today too. Frustrating. Oh well, time to start over tomorrow.

    I don't feel so bad, I thought it was only me or maybe it is the time of year when getting exercise in becomes difficult whilst eating ourselves silly. My weight stayed the same, so I was happy. Back on track this week, before going off on a mini vacation. I am hoping that I drop at least one pound.

    Hi,
    Same story for me for the past few weeks. Monday to Wednesday an hours worth of cardio a day, eating healthy good quality food. Get to Thursday and find I've lost the will. Eat what i want upto 2600 calories (my plateu calories) and some days eat surplus. Do no workout. Get to Sunday and think 'do you remember how hard you worked to loose all the weight!?!?' Back on it Monday. Rinse and repeat.

    I've plateaued for the past month. I don't mind as I'm a healthy weight and BMI but would like to loose another 5lbs.

    Just bought some free weights to mix things up a bit........yes yes I know I said I hated weight lifting!

    Shaun.

    Definitely fail week for me. Major fail. Many delicious things were involved. Pizza, beer, cookies, etc. Not that any of those things are bad. I just ate too much of all of them. I have to get it together. My clothes are...well...let's say they're not getting any looser. :s

    Didn't feel like going to the gym last night so I skipped it.
    But I did go at 6am this morning to make up for it :)

    I had some potato chips with my hotdog today. I won't be doing that again! I could feel the grease sitting my stomach. I have not had any chips in weeks! Chips were my constant go to snack when hungry. I figured up the calories for that little bit of chips I ate and the calories are pretty high for the tiny bit of food you get. They were not worth the calories!

    I went for petrol and bought a sharing bag of chocolates which I ate myself because I was having a *kitten* day and I was pissed off!

    Oh yes. Mom was making homemade Rolls today for the big family dinner on Thursday and THREE of them went in my mouth in less than a minute, slathered in butter. Didn't even realize what I was doing until I was ripping the fridge door open like "HULK NEED MORE CARBS!!!!"

    Dude, self, what are you doing??!! Stop it!

    So, now I have enough calories left to have like a half cup of chili and 6 grapes for dinner. Sigh.

    "HULK NEED MORE CARBS!!!!"

    That was a fun scene in my head. Thanks for the laugh!

    That's exactly how I feel when I get started on carbs. I call it a feeding frenzy, I circle the island in my kitchen and snag innocent unsuspecting food as I swim by.
