BINGED YESTERDAY

Well yesterday was not a good eating day for me.  I have a hard time resisting FREE food at work, even if not healthy for me.  And I really hate it if the food was not worth the mini binge I had.  At work they had free breakfast and lunch Thursday and Friday.  Thursday I was fine and then Friday they had one of my favorites and I gave in.  I had the 2 donuts for breakfast and I was not able to turn down the pizza at lunch.  I did not stop there and the day just sort of spiraled into a graze every 2 hours on junk.  So my binge amounted to 2 pound this morning on the scale.  I will have that off by Monday or Tuesday.  You know how it goes.  One day to put it on and 3 or more days to take it off.

It is hard for me to get out of the mentality of 1 or 2 screw ups does not have to mean the whole day is blown.  I am getting better at it but yesterday I was truly out of control.  I knew yesterday the pizza and donuts would start me off on a binge.  Especially the pizza.  AND THE SAD PART IT WAS NOT THE GOOD PIZZA.  Meaning the good Chicago Pizza!!  It was cheap pizza you could get any where.  I know I am bad but if I am going to have a bad day I always say let it be worth it.  Any way enough on yesterday.  I am letting it go right now.

Today I am feeling better and letting go of yesterday's bump in the road.  I just planned my meals for today and I am going to health club to have a nice long work out at my leisure.  That is the beauty of working out on Saturday evening.  No wait for machines, nice and quiet, nobody chatting, etc.  I love working out on Saturday evenings when I have the chance to do so. 

Thanks in advance for your support.  Just needed to reflect on yesterday this morning before I get up and about.  I just gave you the jest but I can't dwell on forever because today is a new day and I will never be perfect but I have to make sure I do not have too many bad days because they will sabotage my goals. Have a wonderful weekend!!!

 

YUP it happens.... now move on... YOU CAN DO THIS....

I've been losing a lot slower due to allowing myself to many "REWARDS"   the scale is finally moving again... slowly and that's ok... I may still make my goal weight by July 23- surgiversary.

BUT ... if I fall a little short... really SO WHAT!
THE important thing is the progress I've already made and the determination to maintance.

YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS... YOU HAVE DONE IT.
YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN.

really determine to stay away from YOUR TRIGGER FOODS.
I fell into a bag of chips a while back. and it was difficult to get out!
AT least I didn't bring them HOME with me.... that was the only thing that saved me!!!

To quote a greeting card.... " when stress gets to be too much I take a long hot bath....


....I've been in here since last THURSDAY!!!"

LOL!!!!   I love u!!  I always enjoy your posts.  Always encouraging and down to earth. Thanks Judy!!  And even after a full day in the ministry I went to the gym and pushed myself.  It was hot today and we had to distribute invitations for DC in June.  So after 2 hours of door to door and a study and errands, you know the gym was not where I wanted to head at all.  But I knew I needed the workout so I did it and I am still living....:-)  Once I was there I was good to go actually.  I will sleep good tonight and I may take me a nice long bath too!! 

Hugs,
Molly

I'm sorry you are feeling so down about your Friday but you seem like you have it under control and are focused on getting back on track.

One day of pizza and donuts did not get you obese! Its just one day. You can do it!

Thanks so much!!

Molly I so understand that whole mentality of 1 or 2 screw ups means the whole day is shot.  I still do it too but because I can't switch the idea I have to handle it by being very strict on myself. 
It is progress not perfection.  Can you make yourself a deal that you plan your food for the day and that's it.  If you take what you are supposed to eat and promise to only eat that you can tell yourself that it's OK to miss the free food at work.  The most important thing of all is forgetting what happened yesterday.  Just like you said...you'll get it off.

I'm glad you talked about it because that keeps you accountable.  We love you Molly and thanks for sharing!!
hugs, Y

Thanks Yvonne!!
