Help! I played wth sugar tonight!

[is thin possible?]

Hey ADBB'ers! I need some of your awesome advice. So...I am posting in the wee morning hours, hoping when I wake up and log in the a.m. tom. that there will be plenty of re-assuing advice and encouragement to help me thorugh this rough time!

Let me explain...I blew it today...BIG TIME! The levels of stress around here have been piling up and I finally gave into my first big binge in about a year. Yeah! There have been a few bites of a no-no here and there, but not like this! I totally lost it today! I ate at least 12 homemade chocolate chip cookies over the course of the day.

I even had some when I returned home from my daily exercise of run/walking over 4 miles. I am angry at myself for giving in to stress and temptation! I feel literally, physically, like **** already! ( Sorry, I very rarely cuss! But that is the only way to describe how I feel. ) I know that not only will I feel bad about my decision mentally, but I am in for at least 24-48 hours of feeling sluggish and tired not to mention mentally fogged.

This is not worth it~why did I cave in this time?

Talk to me friends!

Thanks!

If you are reading this, thanks for the PM, I will PM you back on Sunday afternoon! Thanks for the encouragement. I really let you down as well as myself!

You're not ALONE.

Tom...I feel your pain! I just posted a thread titled, "Help! I played with sugar today!" asking for help over my binge of at least 12 chocolate chip cookies today. Why? I ask myself. I have been doing so well for almost a year.

Please know that there are others out her struggling with the same issues and feelings. Sometimes for me that is all I need to hear, that I am not ALONE. Believe it or not your thread has helped me to know I am not ALONE! Thank you for being bold enough to post. You truly have helped me by sharing the lyrics of the MERCY ME song. (They are one of my favorite groups.)

Hang in there, brother. Be strong in the Lord, take courage, and keep posting so we can encourage one another. The scripture reminds us, "Woe to he who does not have a brother to lift him up..."

Blessings and Hugs,

Hey, girl! I think somedays we're just not thinking! The next couple days will be hard because you'll have cravings, but remember, you're going the distance, and you will make goal by New Year's!

We love you, and we want you to make this goal. Please lean on us for support and compassion. I KNOW you'll make it. I believe in you, because I know you TOO well! Start treating every day of these next three months as though it were the last 2 weeks of the challenge, and notice how differently everything will seem! It keeps me going everyday...and trust me--I had such bad PMS the other day, I REALLY wanted a donut.

Congratulations! You're human!

Now get cracking, you thinnie minnie!

That's right, you're human. Just pick yourself back up and carry on. Remember how crappy eating that stuff made you feel. You know you can do it, and so do we.

Don't look back. Move forward. It's not the end of the world, just a bit of a hiccough. If this is your first proper binge in a year then you've been doing wonderfully... and will continue to do wonderfully, I know!

Hang in there and get back on track!

Thank you soooo much for the encouraging words, ya'all! You have given me the courage to wipe the chocolate chip cookie crumbs from my chin, and move on!

Bless you all!
