I feel your pain. Are you doing LCHF? If so, have you considered upping your fat intake? For me at least that quashes my hunger. Other people might say protein. I guess it might vary from person to person. Keep searching! You'll get there!

Nothing to be ashamed of. At least you know to pre-plan now. Best wishes for you!

No shamers here, buddy. Fat is satiating so HDK is right on for the most part. But I don't think you were hungry - you were craving carbs.

I can relate. I am an over/binge eater. I cannot eat just one. I have a friend that trys to get me to 'eat just one' sometimes I give in and then leave and on the way home stop for more. It is the addictive ingredients that play havoc with my system. I know this but still...... BUT I have been 'clean' for over a week now and feel like I can recover. One day, one meal, one moment at a time. It is never easy.

Shelly I sincerely love everything about you. This post is what I do Time and again. I’ve been all over the place with my weight, and I’m currently doing ok most days but my bad days are 100% this. The word you chose ‘sobriety ‘ is completely accurate. Take it from someone who’s spent 10+ years in inpatient hospital treatment programs for food addiction! You’re GOING to succeed and overcome. Your humor, honesty, and sheer perseverance are testament to your future. Keep going!!!!!!!! One bad day does not equal failure! Get back on that horse, woman! You’re freakin awesome!!!!

Sugar is an addictive poison, when I get started I don't want to stop. I had some pre-birthday brownies and felt so bad on my birthday for it I didn't eat anything else I shouldn't have.

And the Pens lost of top of it all. Take a ride up the incline and enjoy the weather... One day doth not make a week....

NY_Shelly - Be kind to yourself, we make mistakes, we learn and we move on. I know that when I stumble I use that memory of how I felt at that moment as a reminder to avoid those pit falls when there is future temptation. We also have to look at causes and conditions - no plan = my plan = problems. I wish you the best on your adventure.

Regrets are such a waste of time.. they don't bring you anywhere and won't undo anything. Best leave it behind and look forward.

Thanks everyone for your awesome kindness and inspiration! I feel like the somber mood will pass by soon. I made eggs for lunch since I was so full from last night I didn't have breakfast. One thing I have to say about myself is that I am NOT a quitter. :) I will weigh in tomorrow morning and log it and watch that darn roller coaster up again and then I have the whole month of May to get down to my mini-goal. Thursday is another Pens game so I get a re-try to do it right! --- And no, I wasn't hungry and I wasn't even craving carbs. Sometimes when we change our habits we are so used to doing something a certain way we can't accept that we have a "new" way. I usually binge eat when I watch the hockey game. I didn't know what to do with my hands, my game anxiety, etc. I went into the kitchen, out of the kitchen, in the kitchen took out the crackers, put them back, in the kitchen, look at the food and then close the door. What do I do?? This isn't me is it? I can't POSSIBLY just sit there and watch the game with nothing to eat can I? I didn't know what to do with the idea of change, with success, with my new behavior, with NEW EXPECTATIONS of myself. WOW. So eventually I have to allow myself to be the new "Shelly that doesn't binge eat while watching hockey". In the meantime, I will get myself some "legal" food that doesn't spike up my blood sugar and cause cravings. You guys gave me a lot of good suggestions for snacks, it's about time I use them.

@Heather That's a good idea. I am a pretty good crocheter so I think I will pick something to do. Thanks!

Take it one day at a time, we all have our days. I too am a binge eater, lets say I get a craving for Chocolate I will eat all the chocolate in the house without even thinking what I'm doing, when I realize what I just did then I think about it. I try not to kick myself to hard for messing up the day, I shake it off and start over. So it's a new day and your going to rock today!

Oh, my Dear Cousin Shelly 👵🏻 Don’t be getting so down on yourself! You live and learn! You have been doing SO well! You just HAD to have a stumble so you have something to compare it to! LOL Now get up, dust yourself off, and get that pre-prep done for next time!! LOL And make your Cousin Irma Francine a solemn promise that, ‘you swear not to watch a Pen’s game without appropriate LEGAL snackage prepared again this season.’ 🖖🏻 LOL Deal ? LOL Now the egg is good, keep the carbs low and healthy and the water up and don’t beat yourself up! Not worth it. LOL You are rocking it and aren’t gonna blow it over one night! Take care sweetie!🙋🏻
