Binge Monster

Ok, the sun has been out for several days now.  It is chilly, but I CANNOT complain!  Yesterday I had a hair appointment....I am happy with it, although my husband likes it better curly and my hairdresser always straightens it.

Then I ran around doing errands and shopping.  I went to Pier 1 and bought a clearance trunk for my son's game room.  I won't go into details but the sales associate was so rude..it made me want to write a letter, but I probably won't.

Ok, as for the title.  The past few days have been weird for me.  I can no longer buy those 100 cal snack packs.  Why, because I eat 5 or 6 bags at a time!  I don't know what it is about them.  I am fine if I stay on JC food, but if I try to reward myself with even 1 snack, I can't stop!  Then I get guilty and sit and watch tv and I have a bad habit of picking at my nails.  I had acrylic nails up until a few months ago when I took them off.  Today I am getting a manicure to make them look good so I leave them alone.

I woke up today and did feel that it was a new day.  My JCC is trying to get it through my head that when I mess up I have to let it go.  I can't dwell on it because I am an emotional eater and I spiral into a tailspin and I totally get out of control.  I have to take control of the situation and ease myself back into reality.  Am I wacky or what?!

So, today I am back on track food wise.  OJ and yogurt for breakfast so far.  After the manicure and some errands I am going to stop at Curves.  Which is another topic I was going to write about today.  I feel like I am always wearing sweats so I can work out or go walking at a moments notice.  The exercise is good, but I was looking at myself in the mirror at the mall yesterday and I am a slob!  I have to start caring about my appearance again.  Well, the haircut and manicure should help!:)

Get back up

I think once we hit those off days, we need to just move on. No sense in looking back. Its hard to do things for ourselves, because we worry about others. Its wonderful you are finding time to take pride in yourself.!!! It makes a world of difference! Just keep smiling..

No snacks for me

Oh I can't get those either or else I would eat the whole entire box!! HA HA

Just let go what you've done in the past and move forward.

Good luck

Mo

PS I will try and post pics later today of my car!!

I do the same thing!

Even if you binge eat, move on from it.  I binged last week on cookies.  Moved on and lost 4 pounds total for the week! 

You can do this.  Just don't dwell on the past.

Take care of you

I also dress like a slob.  I have found out though that the more time I take in taking care of myself makes me more determined to loose weight.   If you binge one day put it to bed when you go to bed so when you get up in the morning you have a fresh new day with a clean slate.

I'm the same way!

I do the same thing.  I can only eat JC or I lose complete control!  Did you check out the JC Touchstones program yet?  They talk about that we have a "restrictor" in us and a "rebel" and they kind of fight each other.  The restrictor makes us feel bad and the rebel tells us to screw it!  It's kind of hard to explain but it did help me! 

You should post a picture of you in your new hair cut! 

You are doing great - you've almost lost 11 pounds.  You should be so proud!  Don't beat yourself up!
