    Honey, I have been on a food bender for 3 weeks now. 700 calories in chocolate is nothing!

    I tell myself every morning this is going to be the day I get back on track. Every day I lose it and have a food fest pity party. Luckily, I haven't gained any weight these past weeks. But, then again, I'm also not losing any. Damn.... now I want another cookie. Oh wait, I have a caramel apple empanada from Taco Bell with ice cream sitting here next to me. The cookie will just have to wait it's turn!

    Seriously though, don't beat yourself up over it. Shake yourself off, and start making better choices for the rest of the day. Just because you overdid it this morning, doesn't mean you have to overdo it for the rest of the day.

    Now, if only I would listen to myself....:grumble:

    That's okay- it's happened, move on and adjust your food and/or exercise for the rest of the day to accomodate. Don't let it get you down though. Nothing will come of beating yourself up (except, if you're anything like me, a binge).

    In my opinion, the biggest thing is to hop right back on the horse. Use this slip up as motivation for how good you are going to attack the rest of the week!

    Don't beat yourself up over it, because then you'll feel bad ("I feel soo ashamed!")... and what's everybody's favorite thing to do when feeling bad??!! :bigsmile: Why eating truck loads of chocolate of course! :huh: Avert downward spiral, and you'll be just fine.

    I gave in after a weak day at the gym this afternoon. COLD STONE ICE CREAM! I had a kid size Oatmeal Cookie and a kid size Lemon Sorbet....they were DELICIOUS...on the flip side, knowing I gave into the temptation, it will be baby spinich and cranberry dressing with roasted red peppers the rest of the day. Shame on them for being a hop skip and jump away on days I crave something sweet and sour :sad: It will be ok in the end tho. You will just have to stick with the veggies the rest of the day to stay within cals or do a work out...

    I did that alllll V-Day weekend. Best way to deal? Try to do extra exercise, even if it's just 10 minutes of jumping jacks in your room or taking the stairs, and try to chip away at the extra.

    In the long run 700 calories doesn't make any difference! Just don't make yourself feel bad for it, and try to make good choices the rest of the day.

    If you have to go up to maintenance calories for today because of it, thats fine too. Everyone messes up sometimes, especially on a bad day. It's part of life, the trick is learning how to keep going after, that's what will make the difference. Don't let this make you feel like you have to give up.

    I dunno...I have the discipline of a monk I guess. If I just MUST have chocolate, I take it OUT of the container, so I see how much I'm eating. Then I don't let myself go back. I eat it reeeally slow. :happy:

    I had a headache about half an hour ago and eating didn't help so I allowed myself one mini Kit-Kat (66 calories) and now I won't even go back into the kitchen 'cause I know what could happen if I do. :blushing:

    my soft spot is cheese!:tongue: 700 calories is indeed nothing! when i eat a bit too much i just know that i have to schedule in 20-30min of exercise that day and probably a lighter dinner. at least it happened earlier and not at night when you can't do anything about it.

    One of the things that I have done to curb my chocolate cravings is have a few Hershey's kisses. They're not that terrible, and I find because they're small but rich, I can have 5 and be satisfied, even on the worst cravings. Whereas, when I buy a full chocolate bar, I find that I feel compelled to eat the whole thing.

    As for the weight tracker, go under the Tools tab, it's called a ticker.

    Don't beat yourself up, just pick yourself up and get back on the right track!! ;)

    :heart: Just let it go and move on. I've done this kind of binge eating a few times and you can't beat yourself up for it.:drinker: Are you under a lot of stress? That's what triggers me.:flowerforyou:

    i mean i'm always under stress. lol but u know i think the problem is that my parents eat whatever they want and the loove candy and we have it all over the house so i'm always starring right at it. Its hard to explain to your family that you are trying to eat healthy especially if they are European! lol

    Make the tracker, copy the code you're given and then go to "settings" on your home tab. Go to the settings for signature and paste it there :)

    whoo! Well done!

    Just remember, 700 calories would cause less than half a pound weight gain... IF you eat that on top of what you need to maintain your current weight

    well i ate the chocolate at 10 am plus breakfast was 300 now its 3 pm i'm not really hungry yet. I will have a 100 cal snack and dinner will consist of like 300 cals so i should be exactly at 1400 thats how much i'm suposed to be eating. You think i will still gain that half a pound?
  • TudorRose
    TudorRose Posts: 238 Member
    Noooooo... sorry. What I meant was, you have a certain amount you need to eat to stay at the same weight. To gain weight, you'd need to eat over that amount. To lose, you need to eat under. So as long as you're not eating your maintenance AND then some more, you won't gain.

    You're safe, don't worry

    Dont worry about it too much. Just try to adjust your food for the rest of the day, and increase your water intake.:flowerforyou:
