That is your bad day? Oh my god my bad days are a heck of alot worse than that and usually when I have a bad eating day I don't exercise for some reason so at least you did that !! That makes up for most of it as far as I'm concerned and all and all you ate well !! Don't beat yourself up about it - we are all entitled to a slip now and then !! You are doing great !!

I am just disappointed that I ate so much junk out of boredom. If I had eaten one cookie instead of three, that would have been OK. And I really didn't HAVE to test out a cupcake. I am trying not to beat myself up about but it is hard. I don't think I have fully conquered my food issues yet. who needs to get off her " bum " and workout, LOL!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2000 Report Share Posted March 17, 2000 I wouldn't stress it. Many nutritionists often suggest having a " Free day " once every week or two so you don't feel like you are depriving your body. but keep in mind that once yiu consume a sugar product you'll want more. When you start to want more just remember that the real reason you're craving sugar is your body is coming down off a high and the sonner you break the cycle the better. Try and eat a peice of fruit or get some dried fruit chips that taste like candy. Worse comes to worse suck on ahrd candy.....35 calories can last 20 minutes if your good (I stillhave trouble with that). But when you eat less than perfect don't stress....the diet you described for the day is much better than most americans. So be proud of yourself. So to make you feel better...I'll tell you what a bad day I have had thus far. Two breakfast tacos and Gatti's all you can eat pizza lunch (I stuffed myself). I usually eat MUCH better than that. But I did an extra 20-30 minute workout with the punchng bag last night and have been really good about sucking my abs in and plan on doing alot of walking this weekend. So do I feel bad. No. I ate what I ate and I will not obsess about it. Life is too short to feel guilty about treating yourself. I treat myself with exercise and good food. I know I am not treating myself and am going overboard when I finish my plate, dessert, snack etc for the sake of not wasting food, eat somthing I don't care for becasue thats all thats available. When I continually and desperatly try to satisfy a craving without thinking abot why I have tha! t craving. Soory to ramble. In a nutshell " stop worrying and if you do feel a little guilty put on some music and dance those blues and that choclate away. " > My eating yesterday was pretty bad.

Ok, so you didn't make the smartest food decisions yesterday....BUT, you did manage to do your tae-bo (and even added some extra stuff in, too)....so that's what you can feel good about. It certainly probably wasn't one of your best days....but it by no means was one of your worst days, either....because you still managed to do something positive! My food choices have been far from great these past two weeks, but I'm trying not to be too hard on myself. I have continued to workout and I know that once I get home....things will be more normal and I'll get back on track. The same with you...yesterday is over...it's done and it's not going to do any damage to your progress in the long run. And, I have to echo Pam's thoughts....this is your bad day? You don't even want to know what my bad day looks like....LOL! Anyway, you are doing great! I know sometimes it's hard to look past what we didn't do (eat like we wanted to) and actually feel good about what we did do (worked out)....but that's what you have to do in these situations! Then, you just start over and say " today will be a better day " . Whatever you do, don't get down on yourself, because you have no reason to feel bad! You are a tough cookie (oops I probably shouldn't use that word, huh.....just kidding)! You will succeed....I know it shannon who can totally relate to everything amanda said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2000 Report Share Posted March 17, 2000 Okie dokie, . Let's put this in perspective. You didn't blow the whole day. There was lots of good eating, so percentage wise, I don't think it was that bad. Seriously, if your good choices totals at least 85% for that day, then you're doing OK. I know a lot of people have a hard time keeping things in moderation. I have the same problem. For me, it's 100% or nothing. A very wise man and dear friend of ours believes in moderation and he is doing incredible well at 80. He has never deprived himself of anything. Your pita sandwich sounds so good.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 , I don't think you have committed any terrible sin. Maybe you need more colories. I ate a whole box caramel corn the other day and I was about to beat myself up about it, but I checked my activity level and calories burned and realized I needed those 1300 extra calories, even if I didn't need the sugar. It sounds like you are pretty active, too. I'm sure your little " slip " won't do you any lasting harm. Luci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 ...my neighbor is your height and she weighs 179. But I tell ya she can fit into a size 12 and she looks pretty good. My other friend is 5'8 " and weighs 149 and she wears a size 8! I think that when you are taller (Yes you are taller! LOL) you " wear " your weight differently then a shorter woman. If I was only 3 inches taller I would probably be wearing a size 9 right now. ( I am 5'4 " ) If I was 3 inches taller then I would only have to lose another 1.5 pounds to get into the military! Mike is 6'7 " (he is really TALL!) and he weighs 190, but of couse he is skinny as a rail!!

As someone who has struggled with eating disorders, I just wanted to let you know that this comment would have sent me into a serious depression. I am sure that you didn't mean it like that....but if I had just come here and confessed about how poorly I had eaten and how badly I was feeling about it....and someone came back and asked me how big I was and told me that they couldn't eat half of what I had eaten in a day....I would have felt pretty dejected! If you have never struggled with binge eating or any other type of eating disorder...you might not be aware of what I am talking about. But...I'll just say that it doesn't take much to set one off on a binge and this would have done it for me! That doesn't mean that you would have been to blame for my binge...we are all responsible for our own emotions and how we handle them in terms of what we eat. But for someone struggling with these issues...it doesn't take much to make someone feel even worse about themselves. I hope that I am not offending you because that is certainly not my intention. I just wanted you to realize that sometimes we have to be a little more sensitive of others....because the things we say can be taken different ways by people who are going through different things. I'm sure you didn't meant anything negative by your comment and maybe nobody else was as sensitive to your comment as I was...but I just wanted to let you know that at one point in time...that comment would have really hurt me if it was said to me and since we all have different issues with food and we all have different struggles...I just wanted to make you aware that something like that could be devastating to someone struggling with those issues.
