BAD DAY

[ejillv8]

Wow, did I ever have a bad day yesterday. I've been doing so well and yesterday I just kind of went nuts. Actually, lots of nuts...brazil nuts...and Atkins ice cream, and whatever else I could find. I didn't eat illegal stuff, but I ate LOTS of whatever I ate. I've been on this since 8/8 and haven't had a binge or even been temped to binge like that in all this time. I feel HORRIBLE about it. Don't even know what flipped the switch.

ejillv8,
Just get back on board. Sometimes a day like that will do you some good. Most of us have been there and back.

Well, I just don't seem to be doing that well this week. I'm still not eating foods that are illegal, but I'm afraid I am totally wanting to rebel against counting anything or even thinking about diets at all. It's probably because I have been working double hard and have to drive to Georgia this weekend - for a family FEAST!!!! arg. I just feel like saying "Leave me alone!" Yet, I really don't want to be left alone. I want dialogue and encouragement and I want to get over this hump. This is really the first troubled time I've hit since I started on 8/8.

:yes Just think how good you have been doing. You should concentrate on that. You will get past this feeling and just thing how proud you can be of yourself :joy I am only a newbie on the board but we all feel the temptations, and have to find a way by them. IT WILL BE WORTH IT.

I know all about those bad days and wanting to eat the house. I blame it on the girl thing.

I have to take this advice but I told someone who wanted to go back to school but was concerned about their age...DO it! You are going to be 44 next year..so what. The year will pass whether you take the class or not and you will feel badly next year at this time if you haven't started back to school yet.

I guess what I am trying to say to you and myself that ...don't dwell on the day of eating the house down and give up. Just restart and get back on the wagon. Look at how many times an inventer fails before he has success. He/She didn't quit.

Ok Barbara, take your own advice.

I know how you feel about the family thing too. We have a Halloween party coming up and I'm not thrilled. Lots of foods I shouldn't eat and people I wouldn't like to spend my time with. But to keep peace in the family I will have to go.
