I have problems now eating 20 grams of fat. I don't want to get back into that OCD thing. I jus don't know what to do. If I try to take in more calories, I will end up eating too much, and craving more, which unfortunatel happened today. I made a hommemade pizza, was so hungry I ate half, and then ate a hotdog later. I am such a cow sometimes. I feel like such a failure. I was just so disgusted with myself. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb, it sounds like you, me and Honeybear all did the same thing. I have really been trying to eat more and it isn't easy. Tonight at dinner I thought I was doing pretty well and then realized I had almost 1000 calories to go. Did you mention that eating more seems to be working for you? Eating enough is getting to be more of a challenge than the workouts, which I enjoy more and more. Luci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start over the next day. One day of bad eating is not going to make you gain weight. Forgive yourself and move on. I have the same problem. I eat too much and then beat myself up over it. That causes me to eat more. We need to stop that !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle with this a lot myself, and I am learning how to speak POSITIVELY to myself. I want you, and anybody else who talks to or about themselves that way to think of this: Would you ever go up to a friend and say " you are a failure " or " you are a cow " ? I highly doubt it, because it is a cruel thing to say to somebody. So, please, don't be so cruel to yourself. You deserve as much love and consideration as everybody else in the world. I know it's hard to do, but if you keep focusing on the positive, you'll find you will say/think these things less. Susi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
