Damn lack of resolve

[MishaKat]

Whyyyy did I buy cream and meringue yesterday? Today I've already gone over my calories... ugh. I feel terrible about myself, tomorrow I have to do better. 😣

Chuck the rest away and start again. It happens!

[MishaKat in reply to EllaMidlands]

Hi MishaKat

If you have any left throw it away as you will only make it worse!

Well done for making yourself accountable which is a good step in the right direction, You can do this. Why not use the Daily Diary to help you stay on track.

Hope the rest of your day goes well.

Hi yellowrose. I'm using an app called Lose It. It's very good to keep track and log everything I eat. I think I'll go for a long walk and try to at least burn part of this off... the rest I'll give away. Thanks for the support, it's good to have people answering and showing their support here. 😘

[YellowRose55 in reply to MishaKat]

That's a good idea to give it away and have a walk to limit the damage, well done.

Maybe in time you'll be able to work a little of what you really love into your calorie allowance?

[MishaKat in reply to 13Valerie]

Yeah that sounds like a good plan. Very little though, today was an exaggeration because of stress, I need to learn to curb the stress eating.

I can really relate to stress eating, that's what put my weight up to a horrible number earlier this year. The source of my stress hasn't gone away but somehow I've managed to channel it into eating healthier - I wish I could explain how I did it but I really have no idea 🤔 Now I'm practically obsessive about eating better and avoiding my trigger foods! I've cleared out my cupboards and given away or donated less healthy food so it's harder to give in to bad choices in the evening when I feel an attack of the munchies coming on.

Don't beat yourself up about one small hiccup, tomorrow is going to be a better day! 🙂👍

Well done Lindy, and thanl you for that motivational story! I'm hoping that I can do it too. My source of stress is not gone either, I'm in a broken relationship and have no way out yet. But I'm hoping I can fix my bad eating habits very soon, slowly.

[ArctoLindy in reply to MishaKat]

Wow! That's a LOT of stress to deal with! I hope you can resolve the situation soon and start to move on, but you're taking some really positive steps already - well done! In the meantime, I hope things don't get any more difficult than they already are x

I ate three chicken strips and pizza today. It happens. Just start over tomorrow and you'll be fine.

[MishaKat in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Melhall. Sometimes starting over isn't that simple for me, not exactly sure why but I get really down and lose all motivation (drama queen much?) 😉 I'm trying to get back om the horse though.

[Hidden in reply to MishaKat]

You can do it!! Just remember why you wanted to lose weight in the first place and that cookie or whatever isn't worth being overweight for.
