I decided that I had license to eat all of them - yes, I said all of them! I feel SO GROSS!!!!! I am disappointed in myself. This is going to be a challenging month. I really can't do this again! I am having surgery in January and I need to be at the best I can be from here. I am also aching all over (my joints) from the cold weather and probably from the sugar, and that has made it very hard to move at all, let alone exercise. So - this is my plan: I already tracked my food for tomorrow so I have my goals set there, I will do a chair yoga DVD and my PT exercises, I will have a positive attitude. This is so hard, but I know that I can do this!

You're not alone, my dear. My partner had Girl Scout cookies (two kinds, no less) in the house that called out to me LOUDLY last night (maybe sympathy calls for your over-browned cookies???). You have a good plan. We will NEVER reach perfection, so we must be prepared for the occasional setbacks. Don't forget the 80/20 rule. Personally, I shoot for 90/10, but the concept is that if you eat really healthy 80% of the time, you're doing well. It was NOT a good night, we've both acknowledged it, now time to move on to a better night tonight!!! Don't waste any more energy on it!!!!! Stephanie Report Inappropriate Comment |

I am a "former" binger! I know exactly what you are feeling and you will get past this! It took me a while to learn new coping skills and habits, but I DID IT and so CAN YOU! One day at a time and sometimes it's one cookie at a time! Keep at it. You've made a plan, good job, now you just have to stick with it. Hang in there, keep at it, and you WILL SUCCEED!

Thanksgiving at our house was very nice. The food was delicious and the company even better! I have much to be grateful for and I never forget it.
Yesterday I indulged myself but I didn't go crazy. I still tracked my food even though I was over my calorie range. Today - I have already exercised and I have begun tracking my food. My goal is to get all of my water in and at least 6 servings of fruit and veggies. I will eat some leftovers, but in amounts that I can track and keep within my calorie and nutrient range.
Today is a great day!
