my disgustingness

Don't be so hard on yourself. I think we have all done something like that at one time or another.
Now that you realize what you did...just start over again. Look how far you have come...you can right back on track!! We are here for you!

I agree with Rick it's done. Two of my favorite tools are denial- pretend it never happen and move on. And acceptance- admit I did it exercise and move on. Either way I move on. :laugh:

Don't go buy another loaf. If they ask about it tell them it's gone. If they want another they can go buy one. Hopefully they will realize it is a hinderance to your weight loss and won't buy them anymore.

When I even THINK of doing something like that- I penalize myself with 2 minutes on the elliptical to remind myself of my goals. It works pretty well because 1. I don't like exercising and 2. I take the time on the elliptical to think about my goals, which re-focuses me. Maybe try doing this next time. If you don't have exercise equipment, it could be a brisk walk, running stairs or doing push-ups. Good luck and thank you for being honest with us!

Tomorrow is another day. On our journeys for lifestyle change and weight loss we make mistakes. We eat too much; don't eat enough; don't exercise or exercise too much. Tomorrow will be a better day. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

I went out and bought two full sized candy bars and ate them both back to back! I wasn't planning on doing that (especially with my weigh in tomorrow) but, did it anyway! Ugh! But like the others said, tomorrow is a brand new day!

this may or may not help in the future, but one thing that has helped prevent me from binging so far, is to record *everything* before I eat it. It gives me an extra minute to think, "do I *really* want this?" "is this something I can fit into my diet in a healthy way?" "why do I want this food, am I hungry or just bored?" (if I truly am hungry, I first eat something like eat an apple with a bit of peanut butter and a big glass of water first, or plain yogurt with strawberries mashed up in it, that sometimes cures the sweet craving, if not, then I plan on a small amount of a sweet)

I have an incredible sweet tooth and I used to *binge* on candy (specifically chocolate). I haven't been able to cut them out completely, but I have been fitting in a couple of (small) pieces of candy, like 2-3 hershey "nuggets" or a spoonful of my favorite ice cream. I find that after that, sometimes I still want more, but I am overall really happy because I can still eat those foods and am not completely depriving myself. A *slice* of that bread *could* fit into your diet no problem, you just need to be *conscious* of the decision so you make it rationally after recording it, not just eat it mindlessly.

No sense in beating yourself up over it now, just make sure you record it, and move on. That is great that you went to the gym with a friend, keep up the good work!

Sweetie, I love ya, I think you're a wonderful person, but DON'T YOU DARE go out and buy another loaf. Own up to it, take responsibility, and then sit down and examine why you felt the need to eat the whole thing. It wasn't hunger, you know that as well as I do. Or if it was, then you may have a gland issue that would need checking into.

Most likely you have something sitting up there in your head and you're using food to cope with it. You may not even know that it's there, or what it is, but that's the rub with food addiction, it's usually not food that's the issue. So (and this is truely just my opinion) I would suggest doing some serious thinking on how you feel, I mean REALLY feel, when you sit down to do something like this. Maybe you need to talk to someone for it, maybe you can do it by yourself, but it's very rare for someone to do things like this just because they are hungry.

And let me just say, it's not IN THE LEAST, disgusting, or shamefull, or wrong. It's a symptom of a problem you have, that's ALL it is! Its no different from a soar throat or watery eyes. Don't worry about the symptom (even though it's the most obvious thing to treat.), rather find out what the issue is and work on that, the symptoms will dissapear with a minimum of effort if you do that.

I hope this helps, and I hope I'm not overstepping saying this stuff.:flowerforyou:

Thanks, you certainly were not overstepping in any way. Somehow when I weighed myself this morning I'm 1 pound less, not really sure how that happened. lol I guess that cake got me really motivated in the gym or kick started my metabolism. Whatever, I'll take it :laugh:

Where can I buy one of those loaves?? :laugh:

Glad it wasn't too fatal to ya! :flowerforyou:

I wouldnt call it disgustingness first... It happens. For me a pot of spaghetti is like sex... I have a little, I want more and more... until I feel too full. [For you dirty minds, at this point, the analogy is over. So no comments. kthx!]

I agree, let it go, but I would recommend not buying another -- why have the temptation?

As for the family, tell them it molded :bigsmile:

Keep it up, and get some exercise in. Your body will not make use of all 2100 cals, so you can rest easy on that. Just get some exercise in...


Lemon cake? What lemon cake. I didnt see a cake. The cake is in your mind. *BuRp* :blushing:
