wow this was a bad day...

ok well here goes this is my day...

B- oatmeal
caranberry walnut chocolate chip bread

L- more cranberry walnut chocolate chip bread

snack- chocolate cadbury egg

Ok well brace yourself it gets worse

D- TGI Fridays
a WHOLE cheese burger with ALL of the french fries

plus- an orange and a brownie 4 desert

wow... this was not a good day... O well i guess i can afford some calories. i'm 5'6'' and 102. but still what an aweful day. Not aweful in calorie it take but there was just NOTHING healthy at all, except for the oatmeal. haha

Are you trying to gain weight?!

not really gain but maintain. it was just a really bad day. i ate so much crap foods.

Blee. . .  My day:

Breakfast: Leftover Chinese food from last night (stir-fried veggies with tofu and steamed rice)

PMS Chocolate craving: 12 oz. 1% milk with Nesquik

Lunch: A bit of French bread and some chicken noodle soup

Dinner: Tendergrill sandwich from BK with no mayo and a Hershey pie

As you can see, I was trying to be good, really I was!  So how did my day end up so totally off?  Bleh, this time of month, it doesn't pay to be a woman :-P .

ever do the wander in and out of the cupboards trying to find what you want to eat routine? you take a bite of this and that, but none of it is what you really want?

then you just eat the damned chocolate, and all is well. lol

don't sweat it-every day can't be a 'perfect' day. the main thing is: did you enjoy the burger and fries? I sure hope so. :)

fact is, none of those foods are going to go away, so we may as well accept that we're going to eat them now and then. I found that accepting that, and not making anything (except maybe spoonfuls of sugar or sticks of lard or something like that) off-limits, really made the cravings die down when my body realised that it could still have the 'bad' foods sometimes too.

^_^

Chocorific,
I totally agree.  Guilt does nothing but undermine our progress/best intentions.  Learning moderation is always key.  I myself only have a few things that I have put on my "never again" list and that is "fully leaded" Alfredo Sauce and Movie Theater Popcorn just because those are the two most intensely fattening, artery clogging foods I used to enjoy. 

I reach for alternatives now to those because of heart health issues, but I do still occassionaly have an order of french fries or piece of good dark chocolate and I find that if rather than guilt, I work to slow down and take pleasure in every single bite I not only enjoy it more, but it's easy to get back to the good foods and not feel like they are a burden I have to meet.  :)

kmsfastrack I'm assuming you are a dancer if you are wanting to maintain such a low weight. For most people I'd think that'd be way too low unless you are an athelete or a dancer.

I doubt you'll gain much from what you ate, except maybe water weight from all the salt and maybe a tummy ache.

ya i am a dancer.

No. This was a bad day.

oh, thank you!  everytime i read about someone's "bad day", it's like still 2000 cal or something (like, "oh NO, i ate a piece of cake after my salad!"). MY bad days involve 3000-4000 cals.  like say...Friday (the four dozen donuts day - although i didn't touch them all day long.  not until the night manager locked herself out of the office and i had to go up to work to unlock it and whatdayaknow, donuts! so i ate a half - but i was pretty toasted)Friday started off REALLY well, but what are you going to do when there's a BBQ/kegger to go to?!

Breakfast: morningstar farms breakfast sandwich, 1 turtle special brownie (someone made it specifically for me, couldn't say no)

Lunch: 1/2 cup chicken breast, 1/4 cup pinto beans, 3 starlight mints

Snack: carrots, cream cheese dip, couple beers

Dinner: homemade Mexican Chicken Lasagna, steamed broc/carrots

then, the party...the kegs...for sh!ts and giggles, i entered it all to the best of knowledge the next day.

6+ beers, 6+ cream cheese stuffed bacon wrapped jalapenos, 4+ big ole oatmeal cookies, some cake, some mashed potatoes, some brisket and chicken.  oh yeah, and don't forget that half a Krispy Kreme (didn't enter it). even leaving stuff out, i was over 3900 cal.  THAT'S a bad day!

yeah, and Sunday was worse....

Oversized Cinnamon Roll
Coffee- cream and sug
2 Pepperidge Farm Sugar Cookies
2 Fried eggs
Buttered Toast (2 pieces)

Kraft dinner (1/2 box)
Coke (1 can- the real deal)

Friendley's Reese's Peanut Butter Cup sundae
1 bag of Hershey's mini kisses

Shrimp scampi- made w/ butter
easily 1/2 loaf of Italian bread

2 more Pepperidge Farms sugar cookies
bowl of coffee ice cream
bag of Skittles

Calories??- I'd say 3000 by the end of breakfast....

Thank you all!  At least i wasn't the only one to have a bad weekend.

LOL

i know, we need to keep this thread up.  =) as much as i'm rooting for everyone to succeed, it makes me feel better to read other ppl's BIG f-ups.  seems like one day of lots of crap throws the whole thing off for a week. blech.

I've discovered my pattern. Every other weekend I go crazy with food and adult bevs. So far this hasn't killed my weight loss, and good thing b/c Easter plays right into my pattern...

Oh I'm so relieved at hearing all this...now I don't feel quite as bad either

ok - here it goes

b - 2 eggs overeasy - 4 slice of white tooast - home fries with sausage gravy on top

lunch - 10 hot wings , blue cheese dressing and celery

dinner - shared appetizers with 5 people - crab dip, southwest egg rolls - and my entree - coconut crusted tilapia with pineapple salsa ans veggies (got better) 4 glasses of pinot grigio and

TA DAAAAA = shared a brownie sundae with the hubby.

I did clear out my gardens for 6 hours on saturday between all this eating but I in NO WAY added up the calories.

Damn you PMS

OH mvdb - now you've done it...I saw that Friendly's sundae on you list and I WANT ONE!

had chinese for lunch today. guess it's tuna and salad for me for dinner tonight. lol XD

it was good though.^_^

i am sure i will have those days and when i do i will be right here posting the same thing. i am a convert from carbless to calorie counter. hang in there

jmoselen- not gonna lie, the sundae was GOOD!! Beats sugar free jello and fat free cool whip EVERY day of the week, but the guilt was not so great. Yesterday I ate like no fat or sodium to make myself feel better and definitely put in 2 hours on the treadmill this morning-early.
