6oz. chicken breast

130oz water before the night is over, I'm sure
I'm feeling good....energized, motivated, no cravings and can't wait to get on the scale Monday!!
Well I'm ashamed of myself today. I wasn't even going to post this. I'm not sure why I even am. Guess because I'm really disgusted with myself and really want to do well. I'm not sure if it was what went on yesterday with my family or what. But I woke up this morning and acted like it was all over with. I need to figure this out. I'm not blaming them, although they are definitely not helping me. I have to take control of my own self, but I'm really wondering how much my husband really has a hold over how I eat. I'm starting to wonder. Because as of yesterday he acted like it was all over with. I ate bad today, included my fast food which usually ends up eating whatever I want. After all of this I really wanted my husband to go get ice cream but I went and grabbed some water.
B: bowl of lucky charms ( I NEVER eat cereal....not sure why I did this, and it just continiued).
S: kids zbar
S: small bag of cracker jacks
L: big mac meal at mcdonalds
D: big nachos at mexican restraunt
S: teen night at my house....ate two pieces of their cheese pizza
Now it's 12:30 a.m and I feel like going in and putting my finger down my throat. I'm so mad at myself. :(

You can CHOOSE to continue the feelings of disgust and self-loathing and CHOOSE to then comfort yourself with junk food.....or you can CHOOSE to wake up this morning, forget about yesterday and continue with your resolve to eat healthy, feel more energetic and alive, and know that you are setting the right example for your family.
It's really as simple as that! Forgive yourself and move on, girlfriend!! You didn't commit adultery yesterday, or kill someone or plot against the government.....you simply made some poor choices and ate too many calories. Who cares if your hubby chooses to do this with you or not. You're a mother...you'll recognize this reasoning...."If your husband chose to jump off a bridge, would you follow him?" How many times have we said that to our kids about their friends and their bad CHOICES?
Spouses all the time CHOOSE to quit a bad habit/addiction when the other one is still participating in that behavior.....drinking, smoking, eating. Of course it makes it harder for you, but you can't allow yourself to blame your bad eating habits on you husband's lack of support. The CHOICE is yours.
(Certainly hope you take this thought from your Big Sis in the right frame of mind.) I luv ya
and want you to love yourself. Big hugs 
Holly, so glad you did post - shoot, wish I had a nickel for every time I felt and acted like you did yesterday. I'd be very busy spending all that dough.
Please trust with all your heart that one day you will CHOOSE better and better.
One day, you might eat that Big Mac meal , then for supper get right back on track.
Practice makes perfect!
