I gave into the old 'right before bed' snacking habit, which was at 4am (yes, my sleep patterns are awful). I was being at least somewhat have <hayv>. I had a pickle spear, 1 serving of ham steak with a slice of american cheese, and a 1/4 cup of cashews (man those things pack calories. The bigger part of the confession is that I logged it on today's diary so I wouldn't mess up my "completed and was under target" for yesterday.

Of course nobody will slip up during this 6 week challenge, but I thought we should have a place to come and confess our sinful thoughts and if you have like me sinful deeds.


I work in a biscuit factory damn it!!!!! So please forgive me for I have sinned, I ate 5 chocolate biscuits today

Wow you work in a biscuit factory? My prayers are with you. Serious discipline needed!

A chocolate biscuit!! What is that? Actually, I don't want or need to know that information. I have plenty of foods already on my "I love those" list, no need to add!! If it happened at 4am it counts as today, so you logged it correctly.

Ok confession time: worked late and stopped at Taco Bell, yes, Taco Bell. I was soo hungry. I did however show enough restraint to fit it into my calories & macros and still be under for the day. You know you are having a crappy day when you are in the drive thru line using MFP at Taco Bell.

Confession: I ate 2 handfuls of Gary Poppins Chicago Mix Popcorn. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage in the carbs department.

3 o clock slump just kicked in so i gave in and had 3 biscuits with my cup of tea

I've posted on this thread too many times this week had a massive breakfast today of bacon burgers and hash browns. No excuse but my mum's really ill at the moment I've been worrying alot and turned to the comfort of an old friend.... food! Can't let this happen again.

Good to get it out there though

Bless x

I recently figured out that I am an emotional eater. It doesn't even have to be something bad that causes me to eat but even when good things happen its the same effect. I've realized it's ok to find comfort in food (sometimes it's the only thing you have) but it needs to be the "right" kinds of food and if it isn't then you just can't have too much of it. I pray your mom gets better soon.

unfortunately I ate 1/3 of a bag of tostitos today. I logged it, then threw the bag away. So disappointed in myself.

I had two snack sized bags of lays, and two snack sized bags of Doritos nacho cheese today. I didn't have much else today, so I'm still under my calories, and it fit my macros

My weakness is cheese puffs, my family is not aloud to buy them. I see a bag, and it starts wispering to me that they are not bad. Then I catch myself throwing the empty bag away. ***They should be band from the food chain.*** Just venting. Lol

My day got skewed when I got up. Had to be at my part time job at 7am. I normally have worked evenings, and I take my daughter to school and pick her up so I don't get up until after 8. Well, school's out now so my schedule is shifting, but I just couldn't get up early enough this am to make myself breakfast. Grabbed a banana on the way out the door and a bacon, egg, cheese biscuit sandwich at my favorite convenience store. Finished p.t. job at 10 and got called for handyman work as I was getting home. Worked until after 3p with only a couple ounces of turkey lunch meat and small handful of cashews to eat in between jobs. At a large protein heavy meal trying to get back on ratio, but then went for frozen custard with the wife and kids (I did at least get the 'no sugar added' kind). Got home and played a board game with the family, with snacks at the table. Shot all chance of staying within calorie or net carb targets, so now I'm going to just have a bologna sandwich and some peanut butter, because I want it. Overall, I could have done much worse today. I honestly don't think I even hit maintenance calories, especially after working hard, twice.
Just checked my blood sugar. At 135, it's about where I would expect after eating some carbs, but not through the roof, so, onward. Tomorrow is a new day.

I've I had a diet black out. I've back and forth to the hospital with my mum. To be honest I've made no effort to eat right. Brownie slices from the hospital cafe ,fried chicken on the way home and chocolate in between. I've lost all motivation at the moment. Im visiting again tomorrow and then I'm back to work Monday. Hopefully I can pick up again then. Wish me luck.

I am so sorry about your mother's illness. I know it is important that we take care of our health, but sometimes dieting just isn't the priority when we are in the midst of family situations. Hope your mother feels better soon and that you have a better week.

I was over my calorie target by more than half for Saturday. Went to visit friends and had tacos for dinner. Was also out of ratio on macros. Net carbs were 27% and quite a bit over in grams. On the plus side, I did exceed my protein and fiber targets. MFP estimates that if I ate like this daily I'd gain about a pound per week... possibly not too far off. Have to behave for Sunday, as Monday brings a holiday meal.
