Bad week!

I have been having a bad week. I bought a bag of chocolate covered peanuts on Monday, ate them all that the next day. And ever since I've had the munchies and want to eat everything in the house!  I've had over 1100-1300 calories each day, and would have yesterday if I hadn't gotten sick on the chicken we had for supper. I had gained 4 lbs. from the chocolate peanut incident. Took one pound off as of this morning, thanks to being sick and to working out extra hard yesterday. I'm in some sort of "funk" and need to get out of it. Help!

I know what you mean about the munchies...mine isn't for chocolate it's for salty....I've learned when i get a crazing it's better to have a bit and not continue to crave it...I had been craving chips and salsa....I mixed my salsa with my cottage cheese and it was actually really good...not don't get me wrong...chocolate with cottage cheese doesn't even sounds good...but have you tried the Dark Chocolate??? I've heard that if you take a bit and let it melt in your mouth then wait 5 minutes it should help...you have have to try a couple bites but it's suppose to help....I had started to crave chocolate over the weekend so i went to walmart and bought a package of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate...pre-op i would have gotten milk chocolate or carmal and eatten the whole bag...but today i opend the bag...each piece of chocolate is individually wraped and i broke it apart and took a small piece and waiting 5 minutes and then took another small peice...now i'm not craving chocolate at all...and i actually only ate 1/4 of the individually wraped piece...You can also try SF chocolate pudding or even protein shake...just do what you can to take care of what you are craving while trying to stick with what is good for you and your band...Good Luck....You can do it...You are worth it...

Girl, you are doing fantastic!  You had your surgery 2 months after me, and you are already almost caught up to me in loss!  Way to go!

Thanks :-)

DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP FOR STEPPING A LITTLE BACK.  That is what I'm always told, just know what you did, admit to it (which you did) and get back on track and go forward. Here is what I've been told by fellow Peeps in the Texas Message Boards (TMB) IF YOU ARE CRAVING SOMETHING SALTY........YOU NEED MORE WATER...FLUIDS IF YOU ARE CRAVING SOMETHING SWEET.......YOU NEED MORE PROTEIN....... Make a list or start diarying your foods daily.......(I use  www.fitday.com) and I bet that you may start to see a trend or lacking something. We all fall off in different ways, different times...................just start over and get back on track before things get really out of hand.    You can do it !!  I know that you can !!
