Mad at myself...crappy week

Good for you for realising what went wrong and knowing what you need to do.

You know you aren't a huge failure. You just had a bad week.

Join the club it looks like it is the week for bad choices. Quite a few of us seem to have done the same thing. Maybe it is the weather changing for Autumn and our bodies want us to put on fat for the winter

Don't be mad at yourself *kitten* happens I am sure you will pull it back.

This post "spoke" to me for two specific reasons: (1) You called yourself a "Huge Failure" and you're not! You had one bad week. Shake it off. You're here on MFP, so that's a positive, wonderful step. Most people don't even get that far. (2) Also, I do the same thing with respect to diet. I allow myself "zero" of certain foods, and then as soon as I tell myself I can't have them, I am inexplicably and uncontrollably drawn to them. No food is a "bad" food in moderation. Perhaps allowing yourself a little snack size treat here and there will keep you from raiding the cupboards?

Congrats on almost being a father! Wait until your little one arrives...your life will never be the same!

Unless there's a proper medical reason, you are allowed soda and you're allowed candy - just IN MODERATION! Denying yourself the things you like will only make you resent your new eating patterns. Find space for little treats in your calorie allowance, and plan your exercise to accommodate them.

Oh haiii human It's all okay dude, it's not like you messed up and just threw in the towel. You realized you let yourself slack last week and are back here posting, and I'm assuming getting back on track. We're all only human, and unless all the yummy food and drinks disappear completely off the Earth, i think we're all going to be giving into temptation at points in our lives, it's what we do to make up for it that keeps us going in the right direction. Good luck, you can do it! And congrats on the little one!

You will be fine.. the first step is to realize the mistakes you did and good enough you already know... so this week go for it like never before!!! Dont be discouraged...

Sorry you feel so bad. But feeling bad and calling yourself a failure doesn't accomplish anything. You've confessed it, gotten it out of your system, now pick back up and keep going! We're all going to fall once in a while; if anyone on here tells you they never mess up and eat something they shouldn't, they are probably lying! But it's in the past now and there's nothing you can do to change it, so let it go and move forward. Maybe spend a couple minutes figuring out why you did it so you can learn from the mistake. Are you nervous about being a dad? When my nerves kick in, I eat. So maybe that's what prompted this little slip-up for you. If that's the case, find another outlet for your nerves...go for a walk, put together some of the baby's furniture, sit and talk to your baby (may seem silly, but they say babies recognize voices from while they were in the womb!), etc.

Good luck...you're doing fine. Don't let one slip-up rattle you. You can do this!

EDITED TO ADD: Be sure to post pics of your new little one when he or she arrives! Praying for a safe delivery for your wife and baby!
