9 Oreos at 12:30 am

I ate 9 Oreo cookies with milk and had a bag of Doritos.  I felt so guilty and pathetic.  I was home alone with no one to stop me.  I called my boyfriend and told him while I was crying on the phone.  I feel so weak.  What is wrong with me?

There is nothing wrong with you! Except maybe stressing a little too much about food! REMEMBER: It's just food. There are so many worse things in this world. Do what you can but don't crumble if you slip up-- it happens to everyone. Just try to learn from it. It sounds like maybe you haven't had a treat in a while? Or maybe (if I may say so ) you have PMS? I know I CRAVE chocolate just before/during my period.

Try not being so harsh in your meals during the day-- plan in a treat on a regular basis, maybe two cookies on a lower-calorie day? I usually allow myself to have a treat every sunday because I tend to sleep in so late I miss breakfast-- thus I start the day with an extra calorie deficit. I eat normally for lunch and dinner and then I have something special.

Also, I find that keeping junk arounds means I WILL EAT IT. I don't usually keep junk in the house except for 70% dark chocolate squares, which are only 70 calories for three squares!

When I want something really special, I make a point of going to buy it and really enjoying it.

Don't worry-- you can do this!! It just takes a little time. And do cheer up!

As hard as it is, try not to beat yourself up for it. That always ends up being a vicious cycle! So you had a slip-up--so what? Remind yourself that you're in this for life. Everyone slips up sometimes, it's human nature. Tomorrow is another day. :-)

 

I find I only do that when I'm alone as well.

Boo!

Next time ask yourself

HALT!!!!!!!!!

H-HUNGRY?

A-ANGRY?

L-LONELY?

T-TIRED?

only one of these letters leads to a good reason to chomp. Next time call your boy before hand! :) or get on here and write about it before it happens. I know, so easy to say not so easy to do. One day at a time.

But you'll be ok!

it's ok, maybe you could just count this evening as your "free day" that you get for a week. Just a "free day". You didn't go totally overboard, you just had some cookies and doritos on your "free day".

Having free days are what keep me sane.

atleast your not giving up completely... that would be far worse.  I wouldnt stress so much. atleast you stopped, thought about it, felt bad about it... its a lesson learned... and as before mentioned by others... just count it as a free day... free days keep me from binging(<~totally spelled wrong)

Awww honey.....Chocolate, doritos and crying usually mean only one thing in my house.....HORMONES!! Get up, dust yourself off and go jog a mile or two!! You won't feel so guilty cause you're burning calories and you'll perk up because your body will kick out some endorphins!! Kill two birds with one stone girlfriend!!

Edit: At least you stopped at nine cookies....The girl scout cookies got me yesterday and it was UGLY! I paid dearly at the gym too...LOL
