If we were perfect, we wouldn't be human. So just treat today as a new day. Actually treat every meal as a fresh start. If you totally blow lunch, why blow dinner too?

Admit your mistake, realize you are human and are going to make them, then get over it.

Be the change you want to see.

I have done that, last Monday, New Years Eve. I ate everything that wasn't nailed down.

Ate well during the day, but ate everything in sight at the family NYE Party.

I like to snack on Baby Carrots and Grapes.

My first goal is to get back to 135lbs (just 6.8 lbs to go)

Don't sweat it... if everyone gave up after a day of losing control, nobody would get anywhere :-)

I try to stay on the low end of my calorie range (1200) throughout the week, and then give myself one day on the weekend when I am not as hard on myself. Granted, I try to not OVER indulge, but it's nice to look forward to.

The more I stay on the low end of my calorie range, the less I WANT to eat on my "cheat" day.

You can do it! Just stay focused on your goal :-)

Glad you're not beating yourself up. How's your protein? Try to eat some with every meal to help feel full.

I really like the suggestion of making a meal that is filling. I'm sure a whole meal would be less calories than the half bag of choc chips, 2 bags of oatmeal, a plate of nacho chips with salsa and grated cheese, pretzels crackers and whole container of strawberrieas. Today I am back on track, and not beating myself up. I will also prepare some good low cal snacks that I can just grab out of the fridge.

it happens. the best thing i have found is that when i realize i am starting to shovel whatever is nearby in, i prep an actual meal that fills me up. that generally helps to curb the shoveling in.

-google first. ask questions later.

I over ate a lot yesterday. I even opened a bag of choc chips for baking and ate those in bed. I just kept going. I just could not get satisfied. I should have made my user name all or nothing.
