I had been getting so good at not eating any 'crap' in my diet, it's been months since i last remembered eating a biscuit! Today got the better of me though... And boy did I let it win, I think I have maybe 40 biscuits... And doubled my calorie intake in the process. Serious regret now, but I'm looking to get back on track and not let this happen again! I don't know whether to exercise to the extreme, or just forget about this terrible day and get back on track tomorrow.. Any advice? I'm so ashamed... :(

    Don't beat yourself up about this. Just draw a line under it and start anew tomorrow.

    When I have a bad day I just think to myself, well this was only one day. It wasn't so long ago I ate like this everyday. Feel proud of what you've achieved so far and just keep going.

    None of us got fat because we ate badly for a day. Remember that! Today is only today. This coming week is a whole week! :D

    I'm writing my dissertation, in the last few days I have had 4 takeaways, endless piles of sandwiches, chocolate, fizzy drinks and hot cross buns. But I know, as soon as this paper is DONE, I will be straight back on the horse. You'll be fine, don't beat yourself up, go for a walk and start again tomorrow.

    I looked...
    hope you don't mind. It made me laugh out loud. I really admire your food for the day and your honesty too. Good for you, tomorrow will always be another day.


    By the way, I too attacked an easter bunny and some of my husband's fantastic cake. So I'll be up tomorrow. So that's going to have to be dealt with, but I will.

    Oh, I did too. But I knew I was going to eat big today. I planned to eat big today. So I worked out this morning. Ate a light breakfast. Will work out again this evening and eat a very light dinner...I am quite sure I won't be hungry yet this evening, but I will eat a little after working out. Probably some grapes, banana, and some yogurt. If I am a little over, no big deal. I am usually (and have been) under over the last 5 - 6 weeks.

    I wouldn't try working out super hard after eating like that. For one, it'd make me nauseus.:sick: Second, it'd feel like I was punishing myself for bad behavior. I'd just think, well, I treated myself one way today (by indulging) so now I'll treat myself another way tomorrow (by taking better care of my body than I did today.) It happens. Just more proof that we are only human!

    I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted today. I figure one day is not going to kill me....so enjoy it. After 6 weeks of Lent, I deserved it!!! So, I had an over day...600 calories almost 1.5 times my daily allowance...and I am just going to get over it and get back in the driver's seat tomorrow. Easter only comes once a year. I didn't get fat overeating one day a year and it isn't going to make me put the 27.5 pounds I have lost back on. So, I will enjoy what I ate today and watch it tomorrow as if today never happened.

    Stop being so restrictive then you won't feel ashamed when you eat food that a lot of other people. It's food. Why do you feel guilty? And you have to also recognize why you binged. One of the number one reasons (if I recall correctly from my books) for binging is excessive restrictiveness. Learn to incorporate "bad" foods (whatever that means) back into your diet with moderation. Learn that it's okay to eat a bit of this and a bit of that and it's not necessary to consume it by the boat load.

    This!! I went easter crazy this weekend too...family party yesterday and tonight a buttload of food we all brought in and I am still nibbling. Enjoy it then get back on track tomorrow. Think of it as a little metabolism shocker. I know I'll probably lose weight a little faster this next week or two because of it....

    Made me laugh out loud too - I was worrying about the chocolate I've been eating this weekend within my calorie allowance. Thanks for that :)

    I had a horrible binge weekend. But, today is a new day. Exercised early this am and will eat healthy.
    Don't beat yourself up.


    I didn't even log my food. UGGGGGGG

    The only good thing was I did not drink any alcohol. LOL
