Wow guys, I don't even know where to begin.
Last night I told myself over and over I wasn't going to eat any dinner, and I believed it until it came out of the oven and I saw and smelled the cheesy goodness and the perfectly baked buttery biscuits on top. I had one serving, one cup. But I didn't stop. I went back and picked several of the biscuits off the top of the casserole, and even ate one off my husband's finished plate. It has been a long time since I stooped that low on a binge. But I did not stop. Oh no. An hour later I had chocolate milk, MORE ICE CREAM, my third serving for the day, and a handful of Hershey's kisses, and I didn't measure anything.
I instantly felt bad about it, but the real guilt didn't hit me until this morning. I'm surprised the scale didn't go up even more.
In the past one bad day can turn into many, usually starting with me trying to make up for the bad day by eating lettuce or nothing, then binging again. I want to avoid that scenario. I am going to hang close to fatsecret whenever I feel tempted, and have a reasonable amount of calories. I want to keep them low though. I'm sure I have already blown my chances of losing any weight this week. All I can do is damage control.
I'm so mad at myself :(

Don't be so hard on yourself! We all have these moments, and that's why we're all here, trying again.
I just wanted to offer up a strategy I use that works for me. I really, really spread out my calories through the day--I eat 5-7 times a day, with each mini-meal being between 100-200 calories. That way, I don't really feel hungry (or not as much as usual). I also keep low-fat chocolate pudding around and nothing else--that way, the only sweet thing I can get at is at least low-fat.
Easier said than done, right? And I know it must be lots harder when you have a family--there are more snacks around, and more food in general.
Just try to hang in there, and we'll be here for you!

Its just one of those days... You forget tomorrow and begin today... My little one woke up at 1 AM this morning she fell asleep like 20 minutes later but I was no longer sleepy... I can't tell you how many times I wanted to go to kitchen and eat something... I wanted to snack I guess just to snack... So instead I logged on to fatsecret... I read a forum post I had posted on motivation and reading everybody's replies helped... Sounds weird, huh... So I did not eat anything and I was fine... So anyways just set small goals (daily goals)and figure out what triggers the eating and how you can focus on something you like or enjoy...

The worst days I have are when I eat too many snacks early in the day, then dinner comes and I want to eat with everyone though I am not physically hungry. I have to have more self control when it comes to snacks.

I think another important success factor in keeping a healthy routine for the long term is allowing yourself to enjoy the foods you love - in moderation - and forgiving yourself for eating them. The worst thing you can do is say "I WILL NOT HAVE THAT" because as soon as you say it you want MORE than if you had said "I WILL HAVE THAT." When you allow yourself something then you have taken control. And when you take control, you are in a better position to be able to "control" how much of it you will have.
