Sad and want to eat chocolate

I totally have those days too. I just found that the best way for me to get past it is to have just a small portion of the terrible food (my mum-in-law is eastern european and cooks really heavy fatty foods) and eat healthy as fast as I can after that. You can still have the bad food, just eat less of it and try to work it off ASAP.

Make sure to keep in touch with your bff, and she'll help keep you happy while he's at work

We all have those days and there is nothing wrong with a small portioned treat every once in awhile. It hurts more to deprive yourself; it can cause you to eat more. So, go ahead and enjoy that piece of chocolate today. Oh, and I read that dark chocolate is good for you )

You're having a tough time but you can do this. I've been finding it hard too, for different reasons but I have found having friends that keep you going can really help. Perhaps you can limit the "damage" on your holiday by making healthy choices where possible and trying to moderate portion sizes, but do enjoy your holiday too. You may find that after a holiday everything seems a little easier.

I find writing down what I eat can help, even if I can't count calories. It just makes you a little more conscious of what you are eating. Allow yourself little treats, you're on holiday after all, but just not too many.

Perhaps try to fit in a little exercise each day, like walking or swimming. It helps with the feelings of depression as well as providing a little damage limitation if you are not able to control what foods you are eating. It can help with the PMS too.

Don't be too hard on yourself for a few days if you're not well. Sometimes we all need a couple of days break from the world in general. You can do this and you obviously want to or you wouldn't have posted here. Feel free to add me if you wish.

For Chocolate cravings try Vita Tops - their chocolate-chocolate chip are THE BEST! You can keep them frozen for those emergencies.

Hope your vacation goes well - enjoy all the great fresh foods & exercise by walking & swimming & laughing!

True story....get a vita top --frozen section of the store.....can even slice it in half and put low cal whip cream to make it more decadent and still only a bit over 100 cals.......and they are GOOOOODDDD......

My bff just moved away to another state today, my husband has been working a ton of overtime and I miss him, and I am on day three of an ear infection that is very slowly getting better so it hurts and I can't exercise. I am so depressed today I want to eat a big chocolate cake. Good thing I don't have any chocolate cake! I have a small salad to look forward to for dinner since I only have like 200 calories left and I already went over one day this week eating pizza with my bff that left today. I am not losing any weight even though I have been trying to do everything right for over the 30 days that I have been logging on to mfp. I usually don't want to eat when I am depressed but I also have pms. Blah, good thing we are going on a family beach vacation in a couple of days...although I am a bit worried about overeating since I won't be able to get on mfp to count calories and we will be going out to eat a lot and my in laws eat really high calorie fattening foods (we are staying at their house). Anyone else have bad days and find it very hard to care about your calories?

Reassess. You have a home and roof over your head..........many people around the world would just like to have cover. You have food.............many in the world go starving daily. You have your health................many suffer from disease. You have an option................many don't.
Sometimes looking at your advantages in life, puts a better perspective on how really fortunate we really are.

I understand.....as to date let's see: my Bff moved to another state, a few month after her mom totally unexpectantly passed away, two woman very close to me passed away within a few days of each other, in the midst of all this my father who has ALZ was admitted into the hospital for an undetected allergic reaction and then my uncle passed away. This all happened between March and June. Its so hard not to turn to food for comfort but we are able to not given in. Be encouraged!!! If possible go back to when writing letters was a way to communicate~ keep in touch with your Bff, write your husband a love letter..........
