Completely Fell Off Wagon

Snap, I fell as well, I had nt been running for nearly 2 weeks and although I was still trying to eat sensibly I had a few naughty moments with chocolate, crisps and oreo's:ohwell: :noway: I felt angry with myself as I was doing so well, so this morning i restarted my fitness and diet. i also restarted filling in my diet diary:bigsmile: Ne ver heard of overeaters anonymous:huh: I just got a mental picture of people sitting in a circle taking it in turns to say about them selves:bigsmile:
"Hi I'm Colin and I pigged out on chocolate and oreo's":bigsmile: Give it a try it might prove to be a winner

So, I completely fell off the wagon about 9 days ago there had been doing very well then hit a total emotional plateau and ended up eating ridiculous amounts of food in comparison to what I had been eating:mad: :mad:

So, it's tackling the emotional aswell as the physical, its blommin tough though. It's so frustrating. Back on track this morn the unhappiness has lifted and somewhere through the mist I can see my goal again......hope I can stay focused this time......

Anyone heard of Overeaters Anonymous? Any experience with them? I'm thinking about going to a meeting...... Thanks for your time

I think pretty much ALL of us have fallen off the wagon, so don't let it get you down too much!
As for Overeaters Anonymous, I DID go to at least one meeting, maybe even a couple, though I can't remember now, since it was quite a few years back. About all I remember about going was listening to stuff like "I was cleaning and moved the couch to vacuum, and there was a cookie. I blew the dust off of it and ate it."!!! :noway: I decided I wasn't THAT bad, and didn't go anymore! :laugh:
I've been on just about every "diet" out there, even tried hypnosis, (TWICE!) but nothing really worked until I came to MFP! I can't say enough about how fantastic the tools AND the members are!
All I had to do was "work with my numbers" through making better food choices (MOST of the time!:laugh: ) eating in moderation, (AGAIN, MOST of the time!:laugh: ) getting some exercise, and drinking lots and lots of water.
I guess the whole reason MFP worked, where other methods didn't was that I never felt deprived here. I COULD still have "goodies" now and then, I just had to behave and as I already said, "work with my numbers" MOST of the time.
So simple, "watch what you eat and exercise) yet, it did the trick, and I FINALLY lost the weight! :happy: Hopefully, you'll find it the same way for you too!

I've also been very temped to go to Overeaters Anonymous.
Binging on anything that comes across me, I'll eat it!!!
I am sick & tired of feeling like this, It's a very overwelming feeling like my hand wont stop packing things in that mouth of mine... It's hard to explain to someone who doesnt have the problem, they think its just food, just stop eating??? but NO..... It's as hard as smoking smoking, or drinking.
I wonder what happenes at the OA meetings?
Im also interested in what they do & say to help!:flowerforyou:

Don't feel bad, I fell off the wagon also. Must be something in the water . I'm starting over again today to get back on track. Good Luck to everyone. We can do it! :happy:

Dont give up. I might not stay on track alot, but I still work out and I'm losing weight, not as fast as I would like but I'm losing. Good Luck.

I had a dietician tell me to follow the 80/20 rule... and I thought that was very reasonable. Just like the poster a few above me... within reason though. That certainly doesn't mean to devour everything in sight because I'm having an "off" day.
