Fat... and out of control...
and getting fatter!
I can't stop eating! I've been absolutely ravenous. Really and truly. Ravenous to the point where I'm considering any kind of appetite suppressant I can get my hands on! [don't worry. I am also fully aware that this is not a solution and whatever I do, it will be healthier and longer lasting if I do it without any 'help' from ineffective diet aids].
Snacks that are actually enough points to be be full on meals - I try to be good and stick to the core plan, and this works for one meal or two - and then I don't care what happens and I will eat and eat things - maybe for just five minutes. It's not bingeing per se; just out of control.
I'm disappointed in myself because I know I can do this. I know I feel so much better and stronger in myself when I eat well.
Help me!!
I am getting all panicky, this is not what I want!!

Calm down
Sounds like you're really freaking out here. Don't do that. You said it yourself, you know you can do this. If you are truly hungry, you should eat. If it's really hunger. I guess you just have to choose healthy snacks. I don't know. Somedays I'm hungrier than others. Somedays it's in my head, too. Either way, take a minute and calm down. Things are easier to handle when you aren't panicking. Good luck!

hallo!
Try to slow down your eating. If you're only eating for 5 minutes and you're eating enough for a meal, then perhaps you're eating too quickly and not enjoying the taste of the food. =) Take care!

bahhhh the scoffing
i know ALL about this scoff ritual. you think 'well, i just scoffed THAT, so i might as well scoff THIS, since i already blew the day's plan'. horrible, but we all go through it. i had one this monday, i went to sainsbury's and bought cake, and donuts, and fresh bread and all the other bread-y demon foods i love, and came home and scoffed them all. it was over in a few minutes, it must have seemed, and by the time i was done i felt sick, bloated, like i was going to puke, and absolutely disgusted with myself. i decided that tomorrow was another day and just tried to remember how gross i felt whenever i went to scoff more food. sometimes i even wear a rubber band around my wrist, and when i go to eat naughty things when i am not hungry, but just have the mood to eat, i ping the rubber band and hope that aversion therapy (pain instead of eating, ha) will help.
it never does though! i just take the damn thing off. :)
basically, this long ramble is to tell you to keep your chin up, we all have scoff days, and just get back on the wagon as soon as you can, and try to reason with yourself. i know it is a total cliche, but that food is not going to taste as nice as being your perfect weight will feel!
