Back On Track Together
Why do I do this?
Hi guys,
I wanted to come here to vent/confess. I did pretty good on our vacation this weekend. I did slip up on Sat night and ate some garlic bread and in true dieter mindset fashion preceded to eat some brownie sundae with the family because I had already cheated so what was a bit more. I felt soooooooo sick after. I wanted to hurl. Lesson learned. I weighed myself Monday am and I was down .1 lb. Most much but it wasn't a gain so I was happy about that. I got back on track when we got home. I did good yesterday even though it was very stressful with my interview. I wanted to binge so bad but I bought an atkins bar and moved on. But this morning I gave in to a craving and now I am worried that the rest of the day will be a binge fest. I don't know why I did it. I dont feel stressed or upset or anything. But I was in the kitchen and I saw some poptarts and I ate one. While it was heating up I ate most of a Fruit and Nut granola bar. I know its not the end of the world, but I am disappointed in myself and I know that I will have carb cravings the rest of the day because of this slip up. I am going to try to fight them. The fact that today is V-day doesn't help. The kids will bring home lots of treats from school. All I can do is move forward. I'm going to go post in the cafe and try to get back on track. I added the poptart and granola bar to my livestrong calorie tracker, so I can stay on point the rest of the day. I'm so glad I found this group. It's nice to know I am not alone.

We do these things because we are human. Some days it is easier to fight than others. Don't give up I am confident that you will stay on point. Kriste take care,

Hi Kriste:
You already did the most important step, you came here and fessed up. You may yourself accountable. Now you can either say that this day is a wash or you can go from this point on and do damage control. We all slip up because we are human like lifebeauty stated and we are not perfect, if we were, we would not be here. Take care.

Your day is NOTHING compared to mine yesterday (my confession coming soon). I find it SO HARD to stay "good" on vacation. That you did so is an AMAZING achievement! So don't beat yourself up for your little mistakes. Trust me, a Pop Tart is not the end of the world. Just dust yourself off and start again. You CAN do this!! You know you can. And so do I!

Kriste, We all have days like that. Maybe you were trying to do too much too fast and your body and mind are rebelling? Or maybe you miss some mineral - vitamin and that your body way to say : I NEED THAT... when our body is deficient in what consider a vital mineral-vitamin - it may overpower your ability to "diet" and limit foods.
I notice I crave bread and chips when I forget to take my Bcomplex for a few days. Chocolate - when I do not take magnesium...
Water soluble vitamins - I try to take them early in the morning. And B-s I try to take extra. (B-50 or B-100... ) magnesium - I take at night... it also helps pooping...
Think hard what your body may be missing...
Also - they will be days that I want - need more food - even comfort food. So I try to use the yummy protein bars - power crunch and go with it.

Hello guys,
Thamk you for all of the support! I regret to report that my day was a wash. :( let's just say some girl scout cookies gave their lives in binge fest 2012. I ended up passed out on the couch. Dumping sucks!! It seems worse since I got BOT. That's a good thing. I got on scale this morning and I am up 1.8 lbs. I know that I didn't binge that bad. It's probably all the salt and water weight. So today is a liquid fast day. I felt so good when I did it a few weeks ago and it kicked the carb craving fast. Also, those gs cookies are hitting the trash can along w most of the v day candy. My kids don't need it and I can't handle it in the house. I'm also going grocery shopping today so I have some healthy food in the house. I have been having some down days the past few days (anxiety and depression) so that probably isnt helping. I haven't heard anything about my interview and that is bumming me out too. Today I am going to try to focus on what needs to get done ( like my dishes!) and the shopping. I also need to work on some homework. I even skipped class last night. That's going to bite me in the ass. Oh well. All I can do is move forward. Let's make it a great day!
