Well, just wanted to vent! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!
Arrrrgggghhh!
What is wrong with me?? I get into the 160's and all of a sudden, I want to eat bad things ALL THE TIME!! Since Saturday, I have eaten at TGI Fridays, McDonalds, and KFC (twice!) My weight has gone back up to 171.4. Which isn't all that bad, but I could be nearly at the 150's. Why do I seem to sabotage myself? I was in such a good routine, didn't want to eat anything bad, stuck to my points - and even went back to the gym this week. I went on Wednesday to do day 2 of the couch to 5k program. And I felt awesome afterwards. And I felt awesome when I was eating healthy and sticking to my points. I need to remember that.

I hear ya. We all go through that. Every time I go down into the next 10s on the scale, I kind of let loose for a while and edge back up. It's a frustrating thing. I let myself have a one-time eating out a week max. I save it for a day off when I don't want to cook or if I want to meet a friend for lunch. I never ever let myself eat out more than that. I don't know if that would help, but it's worked well for me in that arena. My problem has always been starving myself and then gorging on sweets for fast energy. I hate to stop and make food just for myself. I can see that trend when I start to see the scale go down, I think I can just kick back. Now, I've let myself decide what naughty thing I want that day, instead of making the whole day naughty. It's still a battle learning new behaviors and making them second nature. I've read everything I can about nutrition just to remind myself what damage sugar makes and high fat foods and just feel squeamish about eating them. I've managed to make myself despise french fries and potato chips and fried foods and soda so far. Hoping it'll work for chocolate and then I will have made the lifestyle shift. You're barely in the 170s, so it'll take no time to get back in the 160s. Drop the carb's and the water weight will come down fast.
