Hello All,
Sorry about your fall... sounds quite painful!
Accountability: Saturday was horrible. Lots of stress at work and there was extra food around. Once I got started eating off plan I couldn't get myself to stop for the rest of the day. I was completely out of control. I just kept trying to tell myself to get it together but the devil in my head kept telling me since I blew it I should try everything I'd been craving. Anyone have some good tips on getting back on the wagon the day you fall off of it instead of saying "tomorrow". On Sunday I pulled myself together and have been good ever since. I promised myself I wouldn't stray at all this week and it's exceptionally hard with the stress I'm under right now but I'm determined to keep things in check one day at the time.
QOTD: I'm clumsy. I have bangs and bruises all over the place and sometimes I don't even remember how I got them!
B: coffee with premier protein
L: Grilled chicken with red peppers and no calorie dressing
S: 2 babybel, protein hot chocolate, prosciutto
D: Sirloin with broccoli and small salad

Sorry you had a rough day on Saturday. I can't remember where I heard this but someone once mentioned something like "if you have one flat tire do yo go around the car and put holes in the remaining 3 or fix the one flat one". It seems to help me some days not just throw in the towel on the rest of the day.
I will keep that handy for the next time I get a "flat tire"! Certainly makes sense! Gaining control of the brain is challenging for me!!

It's something we have to perfect to be successful long term. I keep working on it.
What's working right now is that I make the next meal meat. Any amount any kind. In abundance. And then try that for the next meal. I have to remind my brain that there is enough food because carby brain believes differently.
Eat meat. Wait. Drink fluid. I have not had a perfect day yet but I don't stop trying.
When I feel like that if I eat dense protein until I am stuffed it will usually end the cycle.

Thanks for the input. I'll give that a try too next time. Sometimes I feel like I can have a huge amount of dense protein and not ever get a sensation of having "had enough". It's quite rare I feel a full pouch. It's like it just is too big. Last night I had sirloin and was full after a few ounces. That almost never happens and I really wi**** did. I usually just have to stop myself from eating with pure will. That works 90% of the time but I'm worried I'll stretch things out.
