Totally blowing it!

Me too! I ate everything in sight today! lol

Tomorrow is a fresh start though.

Hi! yes it happened to me a lot before i took this seriously.You didn´t blow it, you can not ruin a whole week of healthy eating with a burger, don´t be hard on yourself.
This is a long journey, if you go over your limits often,it will take a lot longer to reach your goal, that all that will happen.If you prefer slow but steady, that's your choice,and there´s no point regretting now bout yesterdays choices,brand new day today xx

I do it many times. For the last 3 months, my weakness has been any sweets (anything from cookies to Haagan Dazs).

I also try to remember that I need to just start fresh the next day; and try to forgive myself and move on. But when I step on the scale or buton up my pants; its hard not to feel guilty.

@ Ohtobe2 - don't feel too bad. At least you didn't get the shake with that burger.
@ Saralhm - well put.

Last Saturday I ate my body weight in food and drank a weeks calorie intake in Vodka , all in the name of ' blow it I'm not a machine' . I had a day and night to remember and got back on the plan the next day. You have got to blow it from time to time, nobody's perfect, so don't feel bad , just get back on it and start afresh xx

Ate a whole block of caramello choc...in one day.:sad:

Terrible example and terrible reasons - but yep. on a vodka and gin high right now. (stop judging mfp people!) but i feel i had good reason. but truth is that's just an excuse, old habits die hard.

I think everyone has days when they blow it. If I start eating bad foods in the morning it just goes down hill from there.
But it is worth and it only happens once every so often.

Been away from MFP..for a few days...starting over.. again

Heading over for sure today but too bad. It's unusual for me so I know it will be ok as long as it stays rare. And it's still not as bad as my previous behaviours!

I ate half a cheesecake last night and managed to double my calories for the day. It happens but hopefully it won't happen again soon now it's out of my system!

I must say, it's always going to be an uphill battle no matter where you are at or how far you have come. I have lost over 105lbs, but have been struggling to lose the last 55lbs I would like to lose. I'll do good for 7-8 days then have several bad days, especially with Ben & Jerry's ice cream, a very big downfall for me again! I can use every excuse in the book, I'm depressed or I'm worried about my child custody battle in court coming up in April, or anything else I so choose, but I have realized that using excuses, for me anyway, doesn't make my situation any better. During this last 15 months on this journey, there have been two different times where I was not eating healthy as I wanted too. I overate, but still tried to walk most days. I stayed the same and luckily didn't gain but 6lbs. This time, it is much harder and I am still struggling. It can be very frustrating as i know what I want and where I want to be, but fact of the matter is, learning how to handle these set backs and not giving up completely. It takes time to dismiss bad habits, even if you do well and lose a bunch of weight like myself! Many tend to go back to their old ways and gain it all back. I always try to remember how I felt weighing over 300lbs and how I feel about myself now, do i really want to go back to that?! Each day is a constant struggle and we will have set backs, BUT we must get up everyday and keep trying, NEVER giving up completely! I have had many days where I eat over 4000 calories and No, my motivation hasn't been very good lately, not like it was in the beginning of my journey, but I still keep getting up everyday, and I keep trying again no matter what! I feel your pain and I know many others do as well, but hang in there...It's so worth it! Right? It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there as long as you get there eventually! I can see why it may take many people 3 years to lose a lot of weight, because set backs happen. We must forgive ourselves and move on and keep going...Refocus. Where there is a will, there is a way! I needed this post today....Thank you! I have to keep reminding myself of the very things I write about here on these post, we are not alone in our triumps or downfalls!
