motivation after weekend binge!!!

so i'm usually really good with not depriving myself but this weekend i was the worst i've ever been. i binged friday, saturday, AND sunday. i try to allow myself some light splurges throughout the week but for some reason i was just so hungry this weekend that i ate whatever came at me whether it was good or bad. lets just say i ate twice my calorie intake each day maybe even more i ate so much that i couldn't even count the calories after a while. i know i probably gained a pound.. maybe even two with the fluctuation which is really depressing since i lost 20 pounds and have been trying to maintain and lose ever since. my goal is to lose 10 more pounds and then maintain. but after this binge i'm so scared that i'm goign to keep doing it over and over again until i get back to the weight i was before which is my worst nightmare. any advice? motivation? its just so frustrating to eat so much after i worked so hard at the gym... i feel like i'm stuck at my current weight right now which is 117 or so.

Well you aren't alone. It was the same for me this weekend.  Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday.  I ate double my calorie intake and more, and I really don't want to weigh myself tommorrow.  But I need to for my weigh-in groups. :[ I'm thinking I'll see a 4lb weight gain.  I really ate badly this weekend, more than 3,500 calories and stuff. 

My advice is to start this new week fresh.  Just do what you've been doing, dust yourself off.  This is a minor setback in the grand scale of things.  Yes, because of overeating it'll take a bit longer to work off the pounds, but the main point is to stick with the lifestyle change. 

So good luck this week, you were definatley not alone and I'm sure there's been tons of other women and men who've done the same, and felt the same way who have continued on their weightloss journey.  So learn from your mistakes, accept the number on the scale, and do what you need to do to get where you want to go.  You already know what to do!

Yep.. I did the same thing.  I don't know what happened this weekend, but I really blew it ... I am starting back on my diet today, hopefully I can get my self back on track before the weekend comes.  Luckily I live way off the road so we don't get trick or treaters so I won't be buying candy for Halloween. 

I thought I was the only one! My entire weekend was just horrible..my week wasn't much better..I've gone over my calorie limit since Wednesday! But ate badly (junk food) Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday but I agree with jennlett.

Just get back on the horse..it's a new week just do your best! I weighed today and I didn't gain a lb so maybe it won't be as terrible as u think!

haha yeah i weighed myself and i'm pretty much the same. and thanks for all the motivation everyone! i'm on my way to the gym right now and i'm just going to keep going and never look back. hope you all have a good week and hopefully we all make progress =)

I'm bloated, PMSing and Halloween candy is everywhere! did terrible today and tomorrow i'm making and decorating halloween cookies. someone give me some words of wisdom as to how to avoid munching while baking!

Im nEw to this "BLOG"...Thing!! LOL! I've actually been a member for a little while now, and look over a few blogs for MOTIVATION, but havent tried joining a blog, so I hope Im doing this right! LOL! When I came across this blog it reminded me of myself...I've been on my "LIFECHANGE"...for about a week and a half now and this pass weekend was my first weekend and BOY DID I scrEW UP!!! LOL

.....I went out today and purchased a scale for a little motivation{{{PERSONally}}...I feel if i work towards that day at the end of the week{{MY DAY WILL BE SUNDAY}}}it will keep me on track and keep me on my toes to know if I have lost any weight.

My starting weight is 230LBs....I havent weighed yet, Im a little nervous. I've basically tried to start counting more calories and drinking lots of water. Since Im trying to make it a whole "LIFECHANGE"...Im not cutting out sweets just slowly cutting things out....I hope I havent type too much!But I cant wait to see what is going to happena few months from now!!

i think this happenned to most ppl this weekend... like me! first, halloween night all i ate was candy and all i drank was alcohol.. blah, then sat i went to this fat food restaraunt, and then sunday i made cookies and ate too much!  it was disgusting! but ppl like us have to NOT say "whatever, i allready stuffed my face, why not keep stuffing?" we have to say"ohwell, i feel crappy now and i wont do it again so i dont feel like this!"
