You should give it a try - it's great when you don't feel like cooking and want a healthier fast food alternative. :) Lauren, that’s the one I go to.

Seriously, part of the reason I didn't take it to the extremes that I've had in the past, is that I heard all of you voices in my head and I so badly wanted to report my struggles and how I conquered them. Unfortunately I still gave in, but it's ok, I'm human and sounds like I'm definitely not the only one! Liz, congrats on the 65 lb loss! I know you can kick the bingeing habit too, just listen to your own advise :) And maybe next time you get the urge, re-read it right here! I know I will do the same :D Again, thank you all SO MUCH.

Your post sounds SO familiar to the mindset that I go through when I have a terrible eating day too. I honestly believe that I give up as soon as I screw up. THe first treat is always innocent, but when you grant yourself permission to eat another, and another, you finally just give up counting/caring thinking you'll be fine. It's almost robotic, the way I think of it, when I slip. It's too easy to just keep going and "cheating" yourself. Nevertheless, I really don't think 1 day of "bad" eating breaks the deal. I try extra hard the next day to stay on track - no cheating, going to the gym. When your body relearns how good it feels to be fit (cuz it's SO easy to forget when there's good food around) you'll be right back on track. DON'T beat yourself over it because it's NOT WORTH IT!!! Believe that you can do this!!! There are people going through the same thing you're going through all the time so you are definitely not alone!!! Great ranting post. Love it! Hey there.

I posted it on my blog Sunday night and I truly love this, and it kind of applies here :-) "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some absurdities have crept inl forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with...high a spirit."

I know it's scary to feel so out of control, but you are going to get past it. And you can only learn from this experience. You learned what your triggers are, and you learned what you need to work on (i.e. finding a way to hold yourself accountable for working out even when you don't feel like it). And I HIGHLY commend you for not going to a bakery and getting more food. I struggle with binging, and I have really been having trouble with it lately. But I make you look like a light eater. I will eat about 3500 calories or more in a 1 hour span, on top of what I've eaten during the day. I am about 15 lbs. from by goal weight (I've lost about 65 so far), and yet I have binged 4-5 times in a week. Talk about feeling out of control. So I completely empathize. But just know, it could have been much worse, you learned something from this, and you made some positive strides in not getting that extra baked good. Congratulations for that!

I had one of those exact same days on Saturday and felt like I was the only one who gives in to the food temptations...it's good to know there are others out there with similar "bad days." However, just pick yourself up and know that tomorrow will be a new day with healthier eating. You have a great blog and I can relate in so many ways...thanks for being so honest and upfront!

These sort of days happen despite our best attempts, and we can only accept that and strive to do better next time. I'm dying for chocolate in massive quantities right now, despite stuffing myself with a pretty big salad and rice for lunch. I have a meeting at 5 and I know my boss will have ordered pizza-I know I'm going to be in the same position you were yesterday, and even though I don't want to, I know I'm going to eat it, either because of availibility or stress. Don't beat yourself up-roll with the punches and get back up on your feet. Elina, don’t get stressed out.

The only difference is, those are the days when I wimp out and "take the day off" of blogging. So lame. I am proud of you for posting and being honest with yourself, and proud in advance because I already know that this won't drag out to a long-term deal. That's the most important part; that when you are next able, you get back on the healthy horse. I always say to myself, "there is no damage you can do in one day that can't be un-done in two." (For the record, I agree with Inna, this day wasn't even THAT bad, but I understand feeling this crappy.) Ok, hope that was helpful and not totally patronizing. I'm not articulating my thoughts very well today so I hope you know what I am trying to say! Oh Elina, I have so had days like this.
