I've blown today:mad:

I went to a funeral & had a fair bit a of very unhealthy buffet.
I'm now fighting with myself to stop eating junk.
If I eat healthy i'm full but if I eat junk I just pick pick pick:mad:

Don't beat yourself up about it. Get back on it as soon as you can and you feel loads better. We are only human and funerals can prove to be an extremely difficult time.

Last Friday I had big plans after a bad WI on Thursday night. DD came home, made some toast and I thought that smells nice.....4 slices later(wholemeal so not too bad), 2 packets of crisps, half a twirl and a millky way all my plans went straight out the window and I slept for about 3 hours! It was the first time in 7 weeks that I had binged like that, I felt like rubbish for it but got over it, got back into the swing of things that night for dinner.

Wouldnt worry too much. its a blip and we all have them (if your me then once a week ).. these past couple of weeks i have had a day of eating everything and somehow still managed to lose which i think is down to me meticulously following plan the other 6 days of the week

Plus its actually good for your metabolism as it gives an extra kick as it has harder to work .

This sounds like a friday i had 2 weeks ago - during the day/night i consumed pork pies, 2 large bakery cookies, one bottle of rose, several treat size choccie bars, finished off a bag of penn state pretzels (huge one , not the small size) , chinese for my dinner , 2 chocolate bars from M & S and i somehow lost 2 pounds.

How that happened i will never know.. It was nothing else short of a miracle :A

Point is that having an off day is ok as long as you stick to plan the other 6 days and get some exercise in at some point during the week.

ETA :o:o:o:o:o

Reading that back^^ wow that is some gorging and i am embarrassed to admit it

Really love the honesty above - made me cheer up and stop feeling like I was a bad person for wanting naughty things!

I've been wanting crumpets and peanut butter or strawberry jam for weeks, and I must say, I may have to use some syns and treat myself!

Feeling deprived just makes me miserable.

Guilty feelings & food seem to go hand in hand i think. I too suffer from this, and on some days i get so cross with myself for having eaten something i deem as "naughty" and then other days if i had something naughty then i spend the rest of the day telling myself its ok for me to have (whatever i have eaten) because i only have the one life & life is for living, not counting syns

Even though i am now making better food choices with SW i am still plagued by these thoughts. Sometimes it gets tiring have inner food battles all the time. I sometimes wonder if they will ever go away or if i will have to battle with it for the rest of my life

Hello, I, back!!

Hi everyone, here I am again.
Had a truly fab week in Florida, the weather was superb, the food was to die for. :-(
I started off with all good intention, really I did.
I even ordered low fat meals on the plane, all went well until I gave in and said yes to an ice cream cone!
Then that was it!!
I still tried my best though, but my best was not good enough.
Everything you eat in the USA is BIG!! literally.
One meal could easily feed a family of 3 or 4.
So I had a big mac, ( don't usually like them ) a donut, yuk! but ate it. Does this all sound familiar?
So on and on it went until finally I jumped on the old trusted wii scales, to show ...................... wait for it!! Drum roll please!! ....................... 8lb GAIN!
So here I am now feeling like a big fat beached whale.
Tomorrow the diet starts again, and hopefully by next week I will have lost most of what I put on!
P.S. Missed ya all!!

glad you enjoyed the holiday!

8lb will come off in no time! I'm in new york for two weeks in summer - I'm already dreading the gain i'll have from that.

I absolutely LOVE this post. Sometimes it feels like I am the only one who binges like that, glad to know I am normal :rotfl:.

I survived the bbq! I stuck to one small finger roll, syn free burgers, chicken breasts, potato salad and salad. Then a big bowl of strawberries with low fat greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey, delicious .
