Emotional Eating..FAILED atkins. Tomorrow is the restart

[QtpieMtV]

Hi guys...it's been a while since I posted because I had started my new job at MTV - remember me? Same girl who was excited about walking ALOT in nyc and dancin again?

Well Mon-Friday I was super good on my diet and then the weekend, certain events lead to my binge eating. I was going to see an apartment that I was going to move into so I can offically be a nyc girl, however...they girls who I was going to live with made a minor mistake and it's a long story but I was bummed out and found out I couldn't move in and then my boyfriend wasn't being on his best behavior consoling me so I went on a rampage and got SO upset and dove into the icecream..

ok, not only did I eat bad - but my face broke out. I'm not even sure if I put on weight but my face has about 5 new zits, i HATE THAT!

So....tomorrow...to start everything fresh because I fixed my situation and I need to learn not to look towards food for comfort...I'm starting over -for the LAST time.

Wish me luck.
I'm frustrated but I'm 100% ready after this weekend...and getting my mind back in the game...argh

Poor thing! I totally understand the ice cream thing...Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life...don't worry about today, it's already gone...and Good luck with your restart!

guekjian is absolutely right! Jump up, dust yourself off and climb back on the horse! It's so easy to say, "well, I binged once, I'll just forget the whole thing!" The successful Atkineers are the ones that keep moving forward!!

Thanks guys!!

Yeah, For some reason the whole weekend I had bad cravings and let myself go. Then yesturday I was going to start again but my mind wasn't fully into it so I went on ANOTHER binge (the icecream binge) and then prepared my lunch and stocked the fridge with atkins friendly food and my mother decided to do induction with me again to help me along...BUDDY SYSTEM...

Now my next temptation is Friday....I'm going out but I must NOT drink. Not not NOT. I have to dance my little tush off and just ignore the booz and I'll be so happy if I do that.

Wish me luck...
I feel better today already...

Moving forward and forgetting the slipup is what works best. I am currently doing that this week as well after a stressful event led me right to pizza.
