OH MY GOD

Quick! Run around in circles for an hour. Thats the only way you will live!

Stop eating! .. easily solved..

I find magnesium supplements really help with cravings, among other things (PMS symptoms!)

One day and one binge won't do too much harm. I'll often over-eat one night, but as long as I stay on track the next day, it has zero effect on the scale. It's when you binge and it becomes habit that it has negative effects.

Back on track tomorrow!

It's really only one day. Tell yourself tomorrow will be much better. :flowerforyou:

Or better yet, throw the candy away! I can't have that stuff in my house or I'd annihilate it!

I know it's hard not to - but don't stress about it. That stress and self loathing (at least for me) can just lead to more of the random eating! Just tell yourself it's okay, you're human and make tomorrow better.
The fact is, I don't think there's ONE single person trying to live their life healthier that hasn't or won't have the same sort of food setbacks. It's just part of this....so know you're not alone!

I get cravings too!!! it can be so hard sometime. Don't be discouraged. Pick yourself up and keep going!:flowerforyou:

I dont think it is that easy! lol I wished it was that simple sometimes it isnt.

Last Friday I had a pile of chicken mcnuggets, a large order of fries, a coke and a candy bar for dessert. I still lost 2 lbs over the week. As long as you work out and eat right most of the time, a few indulgences won't torpedo your weight loss.

i like most of the advice on here. It is true tomorrow is another day to do better. It is over now.. the good thing is you are at least felt bad for the cravings. But you have beat yourself up enough, I used to eat it and not think twice so i think you are fine.

We just cant do it everyday. Im proud of you.... lol you confest!!!

Deep breath, close the bag, and walk away. Take yourself for a walk (if it's not too late at night) and give yourself a break. Are you totally denying chocolate in your diet? If you are, you may need to have a bit - perhaps one piece? - each day. But don't go for the cheap stuff. I have one block out of a bar of super dark chocolate (usually with nuts and fruit in), if I need chocolate. It satisfies that craving and for me, dark chocolate isn't a trigger. Milk chocolate is. I could down a bag of the fun size Milky Ways... so I don't have them in my house. Also, the good stuff costs more so you won't want to eat it all in one sitting.
Good luck, and remember - one slip, one time, give yourself a break. If you're regularly doing 11 candies in one sitting, you're gonna want to think about why.

So it's okay to eat something sweet once in a while?

A lot depends on the person. I didn't have any sweets for a while because I have a crazy sweet tooth and never knew when to stop. I'd eat sweets until I was sick, then feel guilty and get depressed.

Now that I've built up my self-control and decreased my sweet tooth, I don't restrict my diet at all. If I want chocolate and I have the calories for it, I eat it. I want brownies? I'll make some. I just know when it's ok for me, and am able to stop myself (most of the time).
