Ok, girls.....I was doing so well until Friday about noon. I had done a mile on the treadmill and was feeling good. I was off work for several routine doctor appointments and had time to go to Wal-Mart in between in a town about 30 miles from home. Then, I saw the 100 calorie packs and the cheddar cheese rice cakes that I love. I haven't had any of these in a long time and felt smug enough that I could handle them~Wrong! I had the cheddar cheese rice cakes in the afternoon and that night ate FOUR bags of the Lorna Doone shortbread cookies! By the next morning, I had the last two bags of those. I also finished off the cheddar cheese rice cakes. I had bought two bags of those. I had also bought the 100 calorie packs of the Ritz mix stuff and chocolate chip cookies. I was able to leave those alone because I was in bed Saturday with a migraine. Will I ever learn? Me and my tips about going to exercise when you get a craving and I go and do this! It was rainy today and my friend and I went to the Mexican restaurant and I pigged out on chips and salsa. Somebody stop me!!!! Ok, MissyBelle, I think you've got the right idea about the fast! Forget the advice I gave you about not doing the it! It's looking better all of the time! Ok, I have to get a grip tomorrow and get out of this slippery downhill slope! No point on weighing this week. It won't be good! I hope you all are doing better than I am!

Chin up!
You can do this.
Try to work out what made you eat it all... I am guessing it was not hunger!
Then MOVE ON! Beating yourself up does no good. And to be honest a few hundred calories is not going to make a HUGE difference in the long term, is it?
I have set things I just can't have in the house. I am learning what they are. Now you know. I have some snack things at work because I know I will only eat one at work vs I would eat more if I were at home. Hang in there. One bad day won't hurt you as long as you start clean the next day.
I am SO careful never to stock my home with trigger foods because no matter how many NSVs, controlled meals and exercise, there are some things I just CANNOT resist (I am a recovering chocoholic). I totally get it.
Gotta agree with raspberry - no point beating yourself up, just move on and don't go near those triggers again!! But exercise sounds great!
chips and salsa are my down fall as well.. I can keep eating and eating and eating them. It's so bad. On to your situation... don't beat yourself up! Weight loss is a journey and learning experience. We all have mess ups, mistakes and bad choices. But now we can learn from those choices and see where we went wrong, and how to change it in the future.
