Keeping it real.....we all have bad days!

I wanted a thread where we can post honestly.
Like, I ate a box of Little Debbie Swiss rolls or I polished off a whole bag of candy. You get the idea. I think most of us have that off day now and then, and maybe we just need to get it out there. Admit it. Own it. Don't keep it in like some naughty little secret. I wish I could be one of the people that says, "Oh, I am so stressed I haven't eaten in days". No. Not me. I stress eat. Then I feel worse then I did before. But I have learned to admit it, even if it is only to myself, and move on. Tomorrow is another day, and I can do better.
What did you eat?

I have done so well for the past year. BUT the last two days I have wanted to binge eat. I wanted some chocolate. Well, there was none in the house except some Gheradelli baking chocolate chips. They were so good. I have eaten them the last two days. Got to stop!!! But having emotional cravings.
Those food addictions are always lurking under the surface. Don't want to get back to those bad habits.0 -
I haven't had any lately but over the holidays when I go visit my family I always go with the best intentions and then my mom brings out the cookies and the fudge she's made and that's it.

1 donut/2 (big) cookies/half a cake. 1 day. I'm not ashamed or kicking myself. they were delicious and worth it. its the yucky food that i regret. lol0
-
If I eat it, I log it. ;-) No matter what. Just knowing my friends may take a peek at my food diary is sometimes just what I need to keep myself from going crazy with something.
But of course I have times where I over eat, but we all do. I refuse to feel guilt or shame about any particular food. I can't say the same though about portion sizes, lol.0 -
The last thing I recall binge eating... Hmmm... I think it was 1/2 an angel loaf cake from the supermarket. Yes, yes it was. That was delicious! Worth it? Not in the slightest.
Chocolate is my Achilles heel. Chocolate & cookies. Some people like hard candies, soft chewy candies, but not me I want to chow down on fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.
I'm fighting the urge right now, in fact. I made 5 for my good coworker tomorrow as a surprise. Wouldn't it be funny if the surprise were that she wasn't getting ANY cookies and I ate them all!? LOL! Won't happen. I'm using the willpower tonight!
May the force be with you!0 -
My downfall is chocolate chips. I bought some Lindor chocolate balls individually wrapped at 77 calories each but unfortunately I still prefer chocolate chips.0

I generally stopped buying anything I know I'll binge on, but when it's in the house it takes all my willpower to stay away from those cookies, or cake, or whatever. It's a real exercise in frustration. I baked some cookies yesterday for a friend and knowing that they are in the kitchen until tomorrow morning is torture! I just keep telling myself that getting those awesome pants I've had my eye on all month will feel better than going in there and eating those cookies.0

I just feel like a rock star because I did NOT buy any after Valentines 50% off candy. But, take no notice of the Planter's salted caramel peanuts that hopped in my shopping cart. Every evening is an exercise in frustration at my house. I have a teenage son. Who loves cookies. And ice cream. And Doritos. And.........ARGH!

Oh man, I really feel for you! I can't imagine having to restrain myself every evening from creeping in on the goodies. Every once in a while is bad enough.

Today I ate a chicken souvlaki pita with French fries, an apple turnover and 5 Italian cookies. It was all yummy but I still feel guilty0

I stayed within my calorie goal yesterday, felt amazing, lost 1 lb, then... Today I went through the Mc Donald's drive thru and drank a large chocolate shake, ate 2 Mc chickens and a small fry. Oops. I blame my friend TOM..0

Had a horrible week, been craving pizza ALL week. Ordered Friday evening after arguing with the husband all day and of course went over calories. At one point after dinner, in an a****** rant I heard from the living room "Maybe if you'd get off your fat a** and exercise instead of ordering pizza... blahblahblah and quit enjoying the attention from dieting blahblah.." Argh.
Yeah, needless to say the rest of the large pizza got eaten (spread over 24 hrs instead of 3-4 like I used to eat it) plus a couple cookies and a Butterfinger.
So yeah. Emotional eating. Over calories. No exercise since I work back to back 16hr shifts on Saturday and Sundays. Log it and start over Monday.0 -
It's so nice of the girl scouts to make those cookies in single serving size boxes...... yes I had that box of cookies for breakfast0

Currently at a family gathering and am already past my calorie limit. I'm not discouraged though, I had already planned for this social gathering and knew I would go over my limit. It's so easy to do if one is not vigilant everyday. I'm so amazed how many calories are in most food and drink. Wake up call for sure.0

Went a little crazy this weekend. Stayed at a casino, was good the first two days, but went over calories a little even then. Didn't track at all today. I have a hard time when I fall off the wagon. Need to get back on track0

First post ever on mfp, have been using it to track for three months. I KNOW I have been successful moving slowly and steadily toward my fitness goal, but thanks to PMS and a weekend at a casino, I look bigger and more bloated than day one. I have been miserable to my poor, loving husband who has been so supportive of my exercise and eating improvements, and I apologized, but I hate looking in the mirror and seeing the illusion that I still look the same, even though I know it's only temporary. I even hit Burger King tonight. BURGER KING. So yes, today was a bad day, and I don't feel like getting back at it tomorrow. But I guess I will, why not- who doesn't love counting individual blueberries to log, right?? Thanks for letting me vent.0

I love all these posts...but maybe not for the reason you may think. I love them because:
1. Sometimes it REALLY helps to know you aren't the only one on the planet that didn't stick to goal.
2. It helps when you're down and someone posts in a way that make you realize...wait for it... it ISNT the end of the world.
3. A funny post is never a bad thing. Who doesn't need a good laugh?
4. I admire people with the...ahem, "iron will", I really do. Truthfully, that isn't me. Not right now, maybe never. But slow and steady can win the race. You fall off the horse, you get back on. Your butt might be bruised, but you don't give up. We all have to do it in our own way.
5. And this:
BWA~hahahahaha!0 -

I have had days like that... with ice cream!0 -
I ate a 1/3 of my brother's birthday cake in one day. German chocolate from a great local bakery. Trimmed in chocolate ganache.
But it was too good. Tooooo good.
ETA: Oh, I also ate my entire mini box of gifted valentine's chocolate (Russell Stover) in 1 sitting, but I wasn't even mad.0 -
