    Re: All that for nothing...i'm so mad at myself

    Hi --

    A few suggestions...

    1) STOP beating yourself up. It is only going to add anxiety and stress to this wonderful event in your life, for which you've worked long and hard.

    2) Start again, so at least you'll have a clear head and no wheat-bloat and sugar-mood crashes next week -- if that's something you experience.

    3) Get an outfit that looks FABULOUS on you right now, AT THIS SIZE. Be with the possibility that you might not lose any more weight by a week from now and focus on the things you need to. My niece is graduating next Sunday and I would not want her agonizing this whole week about food or her weight.

    Be here now.

    Congratulations!
    Started again: 10 November 2007!

      FIRST of all STOP!!! Stop beating yourself up.. it was 2 cookies and 4 pieces of Hash Brown.. Get right back on track.. ONLY let the next thing go in your mouth be Legal.

      We and I mean everyone on this board has to learn to dust ourselves off and continue...

        i don't think that you will gain it all back. but i know you feel awful....mostly because you lost control and we hate that. that being said, jump up and keep going! you have an amazing thing coming up next weekend. what a cool thing to look forward to. focus on that. eat healthy and drink, drink drink....you are gonna be just fine

          Hi Honey,

          It's odd, why we do these things for sure, almost happens all on it's own - a will power from somewhere else...agh!

          It happens to me also, I can't figure it at times. However it's never as bad as it really seems, it can be corrected if your really wanting to get back on track and YOU DO really want to.

          I'm with you on this, just the same. Beat the demons!

              I'm with these guys, a big cheat of just one day will not do enough damage to your appearance for next week if you get back on the wagon and eat legally NOW.

              Don't let stress turn into a massive binge - that really will undo all your hard work.

              If you are stressed and don't have time for the gym some simple stretches, situps or a walk at home can give your mind a break from study and help get you back into ketosis.

              Congrats and enjoy your graduation

                      Although this mishap appears as a gigantic train wreck now if you get back to plan right away by next week you will look at is as a slip and will be proud of yourself that you got right back to business. Enjoy your graduationn! You deserve it.

                        When I was studying I worried more about how I would do on the exam, personally than how I thin I would be. One can always lose weight all the rest of the time.

                        What helps with memory and clear thinking for studying, is pure lecitin. Can get it at the health food store, it actually can increase IQ significantly (temporarily). I would not go into kitosis for an exam, kitosis is stressful, so don't worry about it if you are not in it. Cookies are comfort food but they do not help you with your studies. A lovely warm candel lit bath is better for relaxation, and music you like.

                        Sorry, I am more biased about studies then looking nice when the two collide, I am an academic by profession and I guess my bias is showing.

                          absolutely no worries there...i agree with everyone...just forget about it completely, and continue on where you left off, and keep it clean and simple.

                            Congrats for getting back on track. Good luck on the exam, and do yourself a favour by throwing out all the temptations.

                              There was a thread in another forum where we talked about getting back on the horse. There was an episode of Oprah where a women had finally decided she was ready to lose weight, not because she didn't make mistakes, but because she did make mistakes but then didn't use those mistakes to fall off the wagon and continue to binge. She just kept right on going with her plan. She said that's what made the difference this time.

                              I think she's right. KEEP TRUCKING!
