pissed off at myself

I tucked into the Halloween candy. I ate ALL of the snack sized Milk Duds. I'm not doing so well here lately. I think I gained back 10 or 15lbs. I'm too afraid to get on the scale. I got to get a grip. I've lost almost 100 lbs in 16 months and I don't want to go back there. Lord, help me!

    Well, if you ate them all, there aren't any left to eat, are there? So is the task accomplished? I find my biggest leaps off my healthier habit "train" happen when I acknowledge my successes. It's like my mind goes, "Wow, okay, you're done, let's get back to normal!" I had to find ways to allow myself to recognize progress without immediately punishing myself for the same.

    I don't know what to suggest other than kind of exploring your triggers on the before, during, and after aspects. I'm terrified at long term success, and I know that underlies what I struggle... For me, the eating is a manifestation of my own self inflicted judgments and such.

    (hugs) be kind to yourself today. :)

    I could agree @KnitOrMiss . It doesn't help any thing when you beat yourself down about yesterday... it's more progressive to set your sights on your goals and move ahead... believe in yourself.
