I haven't had a good few days and I'm not proud of myself - evening snack attacks bordering on bingeing for the last few days. Why? I'm not really sure. I could blame stress, busy-ness, the easy availability of snacks at work this week, hunger, boredom with "dieting", but I know that none of those are the real reason because in the end whatever we do boils down to the choices we make and nothing else can be blamed.
As I went to bed last night feeling bloated again and with the sickly aftertaste of too much sugar in my mouth, I made the decision to have a low calorie weekend and a fast day on Monday. So, below 1200 today and tomorrow in order to pull in the reins and 500 on Monday to get back into the routine. Then back to RDI 5 days and 500 2 days, as before.
I do NOT want to undo all the good work I've done! And eating the quantity of sweets and snacks I've been consuming in the last few days is not something I have ever really done, even before joining fs. So I cannot let that become any kind of habit and it stops here and now.

Oh my dear friend...I SO know those feelings! As often happens with us, we're in similar places. I had a couple of almost out of control days last week, and drew myself up short just as you have done. The last few days have been much more successful because of it...this morning I had an apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter instead of just grabbing everything in sight. This "after-work snacking" right before bedtime is apparently going to be an ongoing battle for me. Better to face up to it and fight the battle every day than to keep trying to figure out "why" as I stuff my face. At any rate, I feel much more in control now, and feel like I can do this. I am so tired of feeling like I'm spinning my wheels! I'm going to build on the last few days and keep it going until I reach my goal!

Thanks for your kind words and support, Baxie. I've had a good day today that worked out as intended, so I'll try and keep it that way.
