Oh Wow please help

I feel I need to post this I guess to tell on myself or something. I weighed myself this morning and was thrilled...I lost 2.5 pounds from last week so I should be happy right? Well I don't know what is wrong with me, but breakfast was fine I ate some cinnamon raisin bread (not the best, but I found 2 slices each morning with no butter is the only thing that keeps me from skipping it all together I'm not a breakfast person) which was 160 calories and I was sitting here thinking about lunch and got a pop out of the fridge...just one can of Pepsi, but it's a weakness I have so that was 150. I still thought everythings ok and went out to the van because I remembered I had a few bottles of water in there and we're out here at work. Then out of nowher I got really hungry so I went to the fridge and of all the options I picked garlic toast and I didn't just have one slice, no I had 5 at 150 each and now I could just cry. I don't know if I should skip lunch and have a mid afternoon snack or eat like I would normally. I just don't do this anymore. I used to eat a cookie and decide my day was ruined and eat like a hog and promise tomorrow was different, but I haven't done that in months. This wasn't even like a ruined feeling I just got hungry and made an awful choice and ate too much.

To make matters worse I didn't go to the gym today because my alarm didn't go off (I go before work) and then tonight we have a house to look at and then my husband will be going to work. So that means Saturday is the next gym day (they are single sex days...Mon, Wed, Fri are guys and Tues, Thurs and Sat are ladies). It's cold and rainy, but I was hoping to get in a bike ride to counter some of this, but that doesn't look promising.

fresh start, right now.  it's all you can do!  beating yourself up over your mistakes is not helpful.

focus on your successes.  you know you can do this!

go for a brisk walk with an umbrella and try to finish the day eating healthfully.  rain can be refreshing, and more so than on a bike without an umbrella.

i've been doing so good for almost two months and last night i had so many sunchips (pmsing) that the roof of my mouth was sore and this morning I was swelled.  What was my attitude?  I said hey that's keeping it real and I'll get back on track.  You see this time around I'm keeping it real.  If I don't keep it real it will only be another diet you go on and off.  This has to be a way of life.  Pms days will happen.
When I added up my calories for the day it was 2690.  I did my exercises and I cleaned the house so I could subtract like 500 calories.  which means I had 2200.  I told myself Hey maybe this qualifies as a "zig-zag" day.  The bright side was it's still a better day than my past.  Today I'm focusing on drinking my water which I do everyday.  You can't dwell on it.  Enjoy life and have a plan and when you go off it just get back on track soon as you can. 

Don't panic, you dont say how many calories you are eating per day but you aren't going to be more than a couple of hundred over which as far as the sclaes go is not going to ruin anything.  more importantly is how you deal with it.

Going cycling would be good, but not if you are going to start seeing exercise as a punsihment for over eating - not a good road to start on.  Drink plently of water, go for a nice walk later on, cut back a little on dinner calories, you are fine.

Then try to work out why you got that sudden hunger pang, was it because you walked past the fridge?  Were you genuinely hungry?

Remember, this is healthy eating for life, not a fad diet, so, you fancied some garlic toast and ate some, you can't permanently deprive yourself of things.  Think about an alternative and what you could have had instead, that will help you plan for next time you get hit by a hunger pang.

You need to do some major planning ahead. 

First get all the junk out of the house.  Get whoever you live with on board with this - if it's a food that triggers you to eat impulsively, get it OUT.

Then start planning what you will eat each day IN ADVANCE! and have it all handy and ready.  Logging in advance is a good idea too.

Then all you have to do is follow what you planned.  I know it sounds easier than it is, but, trust me, it works.

Thank you all so much you have really helped! Well according to this site I use 2700 calories per day at my weight and need 1950 per day to reach my goal weight healthily.

I would never use exercise as punishment I did that for a lot of my life and I think that is what made me as heavy as I am because I just gave up on exercise because I had such negative feelings attached to it. Now I love working out, it makes me feel good physically and mentally.

I so agree with a couple of the other posts - count it as a zig zag day.  I think they actually help in the long run... ...and get the junk out of your house!  If you don't have it in the house, you're not likely to eat it.  You may see your scale go up tomorrow, but I bet you'll see a big drop in a couple days.  At this point, I'd be more concerned with %of carb, protein, fat.  I think you're probably real low in protein right now, so maybe figure out what you can eat to get a good amount of protein without adding more carbs...like boiled egg whites, or a spinach/egg white omlet....or fish.  Make the rest of the day balance those things out.
