Last night I apparently lost my focus, in a very bad way... Made a recipe off of here called Chicken picante. It was very good, and I made wheat noodles to go with it.I put a larger portion than I would have lately as I thought"it's wheat pasta, must be ok", well, after consuming waaayyyy too much of it, I read the bag...I have been so good about labels and I should NOT have assumed. The damn pasta was NO better than regular muellers pasta I used to use. I calculated that I ate about 850 calories in one meal w/ almost no veggies. Then, being depressed, went back to the "old Amy" and had 4 choch chips a hoy cookies, dipped in milk, then some sourcream and oinion chips. Biggest binge I have had in 2 months. I consumed more calories yeaterday than I did the entire weekend.. ughhhh..Have to refocus today, majorly (is that a word?)I must be down 1.5 lbs by Friday to hit my 1st goal. No excuses......Why is it one little mistake and I go back to my old binge ways?Dieting I truly believe is mental.Maybe I should see a therapist as I go thru this transformation.I HATE being an emotional eater.HATE that food controls me.HATE that I live to eat, not eat to live....FOCUS>>>>>>>

First of all, you've been doing GREAT!!! Check out your CHART!! Second of all.. I'm not sure what you are doing for your "diet" but the whole wheat pasta is much healthier for you, even if the calories are about equal. The whole wheat does not rapidly absorb into your blood stream and basically become sugar, like regular pastas do. I know, as when I've tested my blood sugars after having regular and then whole wheat pasta, there is a major diff!! Third... NO beating yourself up!! NONE! lol :) Just because ya slipped up... and it's not like you intended to, does not mean that you can just throw in the towel and give up, you deserve better.. you CAN slip up and turn right back around and head back up that ladder you're a climbin! YOU CAN DO IT!! It's one day, one meal, one snack, one bite at a time. It's not going to be perfect each time, but you can certainly try hard at each and every next bite, if you slip on one or two. ;) Dust off, get up and get back behind that drivers wheel and BURN SOME RUBBER BABY!!! YOU can DO IT!! YAYAYA!!

you're doing great! I agree with bt totally! just one little slip up but you can get right back to your progress. you'll hit that goal very soon, I know it!
it has helped me to journal some about emotions and food... maybe that would help you, a journal is a free therapist :) i have the overeater's anonymous workbook, though I have only done step one.
I'm sorry you are feeling discouraged, I hope you can feel happy about your progress again soon!
