I graduate college on Saturday, & eating like I'm dying...

Hey all--

I feel like such an idiot. I guess old habits really do die hard....

I graduate from college on Saturday (YAY!!!), and I have been finished since Monday since my last semester I did a 40/week internship instead of classes. WELL, apparently something is going on in my brain where I feel like I should eat whatever the hell I want. UGHHH. I don't have perfect restriction yet with my band, and I just don't know why I got like this. I had tortellini in pesto sauce and a roll... a ton of carbsmart chocolate ice cream, and a YODEL.

I mostly just feel gross, and I feel terrible about eating like it was my last meal. Tomorrow I will do better. I feel like I've been pretty successful so far, and I just get so frustrated when I have a day or 2 like this.

Thanks for listening and letting me be accountable. Kick my butt into gear!! haha

Oooh I know how that is, accountability is really good for getting you motivated. It's sooo easy to just keep going if you don't admit the bad habit somewhere, even if it's just outloud to yourself.
Good luck getting back on the good food train. Just think about how far you've come and how far you still wanna go, and are those meals really necessary, or ought you maybe just have a taste of someone else's food? Put things back in perspective and hopefully you can stay motivated :) Good luck!

vicki,

props for recognizing it, and pinpointing the reasons. Redirect the stress, remember the goal! pull out a pair of pants you want to get into or find something that will rekindle your heart toward it- that's what I've found works best. When I stop thinking, "wow that sucked," or even, "it's so easy to fall back" then I'm like, wait- I've been making good choices, I can make good choices again!!! 

and you are doing SOOOO good!!! I'm graduating in two weeks and I'm about to pollute my body with some serious caffeine to get a paper written...

keep us updated as you jump back into your good habits ;)

delete it from your sistem and start over. i truly believe that if you start thinkin how many calories did you eat u are gonna gain it all. soo don´t think much about it and start tomorrow like nothing happend!! that is what thin people actually do. they eat some times but most of the time they watch what day eat and excercise so keep going nothing happened.

 Congratulations on graduation, what an accomplishment!! 

I'm assuming your eating is a little wacky because of stresss/excietment of all the things going on this week.  After it's all over you can take a big, deep breath and start back on track again.  Don't be too hard on yourself, we all go through our moments.
