It’s done u can’t fix it, get on track now n u will ok 😉 

Find out what triggered it, n work not letting that thing have so much power 

Sounds like you are addicted to sugar like me. If I cheat on one sugar item, I binge . Sometimes, it takes days to get back off of it. Now if I wanna cheat or feel I need more calories, I make a sugar free treat or eat more nuts, or allow a fruit. Puts me over carbs or calories but doesn’t start a binge. 

Atleast your trying,for as long as I've known you always get back up and start again..You know in your heart when you start going off the reservation..you have to find another source of curbing your hunger..like fruit, water etc. I know its not the same effect that your craving at the moment but it will act as a buffer until you settle down and get your sanity back..13 days is about your norm..lets try for 30days..lets participate for a record and move on from there. 

I did something similar, I posted but then deleted I just wanted to forget what I did. ugh. I went out and bought a pizza bread sticks and 2ltr of soda!!! I was possessed by the carb monster! I guess it's going around. 😣 like you I am back on my game today. I still have a 2ltr In fridge I need pour in sink .... 

Definitely going around...I did the same thing-The Kraft Mac n cheese I made my kids for lunch yesterday just looked too good to pass up...and the homemade cookies I made for their lunches last night🤷🏼‍♀️😕 BUT back on track this morning as well! Don’t feel bad - we can do this! 😊 

It's not easy, so don't be so hard on yourself. This is why we get 2nd and 3rd and 4th, and however many more chances we need to get it right. I have a carb problem. I like bread, so what I've done is switch to whole grain tortillas instead of bread, less carbs. I just started so we'll see how it goes. I still have the temptation of bread in the house because of my husband and son so it's not easy. We've all been there and eating better becoming 2nd nature takes time. We'll get it! 

Perhaps not have those foods in your house 🏡? I had to purge out my cupboards and glad I did cause I am weak 😔. Mid afternoons are my weakness. 

Been there done that, and it is SO discouraging. But don't give up. The reality is this is not the first or the last time you will slip. But your success days will outnumber your slips! And in the long haul, you will win. Someone here suggested sugar addiction and I second that. The way I got around it, is if I'm hungry, I eat some protein (cheese, tuna, eggs) and some salad and eat as much as I want. Usually I'm stuffed and the madness passes. And next day I'm good to go. I'm 73 and have only lost 1.5 lbs a week, over the last 6 months, but those lbs. add up! We can do this:) 

No big. Still 17# away, 183 to go. You know exactly what to do. Obviously. Let's go! #grindtime #getserious #mindset #stayhungry  

Hang in there. You can do this. One slip up is just that - one slip up. You’re still working towards your goal. 

Today is my first day joining you all. I know slips happen. The goal is to learn from them. Perhaps you were feeling an emotion you didn’t want to feel? Dig to the root. All is well. 

Today is a new day. Include an extra walk if you can to help counteract some of the extra calories from yesterday. Remember this feeling; you don't want to have it again!  

You can do it. Summer is such a hard time , bbq, potato salad. Take each day at a time. I find that if I list what I am going to eat during the day, it is a strong visual.... 

plan for a sweet treat every now and then, so this doesnt happen! i bought chocolate fiber 1 bars so im bring healthy AND getting fiber! halotop also makes great ice cream! 

Had one of those days Saturday - also journaled about it here. It sucks bc you know it sets you back and also you realize you’re still not in control. However, another member said to me - better a day of it than a month. You’re doing well, don’t beat yourself up too much - just get back on track 😊 

You've recognized it, now you can move forward. This is not the end of your journey, so just keep moving forward and bring in more healthy eating days than unhealthy. 

Listen to your heart...I personally find when I loose focus & throw in the towel it's a trigger for something else going on in my life that is not in balance..mostly grief or guilt/shame then I subconsciously sabotage myself for a punishment which is hard to understand... I guess it's part of the Merry-Go-Round of denial that I seem to be in because I am an emotional eater, everyone's different you have to look at your heart not your head & see what's going on & be kind to yourself which is hard for even me to do cuz I feel like I need to be punished ..I guess it was a learned behavior that I grew up with..but I'm learning to change that, one day at a time...so too will you..This is not a diet it's a Life change. :) p.s. I just learned something from you by your sharing &event! Thank you 🤗 

While it was not good, it's not the end either. Each day, you get a chance to do it right. If you get it right more days that you get it wrong, you're on the right path. Eating right (or wrong) is as much a skill as anything else. It takes a while to develop a new skill. Babies learning to walk trip and fall. But the trick is to get back up and keep going. The same when you start a new WOE, you might trip and fall, but you don't give up learning to walk! You got this! 

Wow!!! I didnt realize that so many of u read my post! Im very in courage over ALL the coments!!! Thank you everyone 😍
