I am so upset with myself. I had a bad day today and ended up eating all the wrong things. I ate like 2 cups of fruity pebbles, an iced coffee from mcdonalds, spaghetti (like 2 cups), chicken tenders with honey mustard. That's all I ate all day long, so I should be okay, shouldn't I? Why do I feel like I'm going to gain all my weight back? Plus I didn't go to the gym today, I didn't have time. I do 60 minutes on the treadmill every day. Missing one day isn't going to hurt, is it? Help, guys. I'm freaking out. I feel like I have an eating disorder or something. Blah.....:(

we're all gonna slip sometimes, but what's done is done, don't beat yourself up about it!!! focus on your next meal and make sure it's a healthy one. Start tomorrow of on your plan and you'll get your exercise in!!! The beginning is the hardest part... at least I hope it is :rolleyes:
 
We all slip sometimes and in fact most of the leanest best toned people in the world have had a day every now and then when they ate 8 Krispy Kremes or a quart of Chocolate Ice Cream. The trick is now that you've done it, accept it. In the grand scheme of things it won't delay your loss that much. Now move on and keep losing. You can do it
 
It's one day... relax... Take some deep breaths...

Was there something that happened today that caused you to do this? Bad day or something?
 
I find talking to someone either online or in person always helps on really bad days we all have them but just remember to pick yourself back up on your feet and we are all rooting for you :)
 
You will just do better tomorrow. No big deal. It will be fine. Just concentrate tomorrow on what you are doing and drink lots of water.
 
The same thing happened to me, just eat less tommorow, and work that much harder at the gym.
 
I know exactly how you feel. Don't beat yourself up and remember tomorrow is another day. Everyone is here to help you, anytime you have a bad day we are here to pick you up. Jump up and keep going you CAN do it! good luck :)

Maleficent asked the right question. A lot of us have very subtle triggers that lead us to eating a lot of all the wrong things. Were you feeling overwhelmed in some way? Eating disorders are frequently all about control in one way or another. What were you feeling? You don't have to tell us, but you should write it in a journal, I find that writing it in my food journal helps, since I can see clearly the food patterns associated with my stress patterns and better plan diversionary tactics. Don't be ashamed, but do take charge and do something about it. Do make consciously healthy decisions (I said healthy, not punishing - so don't try to starve to make up for any slip, try to eat 3 times the normal amt. of veggies the next day instead - something like that). Take each decision on its own, and choose what's the kindest, healthiest thing for YOURSELF. You don't need to live in fear of weight gain, you need to remind yourself that you're important, and that your goal is to be the healthiest you can be. Then "bad" foods and sedentary days don't seem so appealing.
