bad eating day(s)...anyone else?

Im doing better today too Kim,,,see,,,we CAN do this!! LOL Blessings Betsy

I had a rough weekend too. Too many picnics and a day at the beach where I managed to graze on a bag of Ritz Chips until it was nearly gone!!!!!!!! What is it about the beach that makes me soooooooooo hungry??? Anyway, not stressing about it here. I got back on the wagon today and so far so good. I did make a cheesecake w/splenda (has some sugar in the blueberry topping tho), but its really good~only had 1 piece over the weekend,but hoping I don't cave tonite. Thankfully its almost gone!!!!!!!!! Anyway, you're TOTALLY normal and NOT a failure! We can't all be "perfect" all of the time. Just strive to do the best that you can from day to day!

umm..yeah, let me tell you about out of control eating this weekend, and I"m only 16months out! LOL. Took a trip to Tahoe, started that AM eating 1/2 of a Bacon Egg Cheese biscuit from McDonalds, then a Venti Iced Latte from Petes and shared a cherry/chocolate organic bar w/ hubby. We got to Tahoe, had lunch w/ a friend..mexican food which was for me about 10 tortilla chips and 8 pieces of shrimp soaked in butter/garlic/white wine, Then we had a bbq, I ate a little over 1/2 a burger..w/ the bun.. ouch. and had maybe throughout 3 hours a cup of chips/pretzels/crackers/cheese. Then..the alcohol.. 4 mojitos and 3 shots of bacardi.. yeah..can you say stupid me? Then, yesterday we had breakfast, I had a 1/2 of a Bagel w/ lox and onions/tomatoes. A 20oz Iced Latte (whole milk, as low fat makes me sick) later that morning. Lunch was some hummus and pita bread w/ some little tomatoes and a few small slices of some unmentionable cheese that was amazing, Oh and did I mention I also had a Cosmopolitan (with tequila) with lunch? oh, and then..we went out for sushi for dinner.. (in between, I had a few pretzelsticks, about maybe 25 throughout the day). Sushi consisted of a bottle of Nigiri Sake' (I almost made it through the whole thing which was at least 3/4 of the bottle) . I had 2 peices of Maguro (no rice, I NEVER eat rice), like 6 peices of vegetable tempura (YIKES) and 4 slices of Chicken Teriyaki...oh, and lets not forget teh 1/4 cup of ginger I must have eaten.. Then..on the way home, a stop by starbucks to get a grande Hot Caramel Apple Cider... yeah... I had a baaaad weekend..but, It was a lot worse than this pre-surgery and I know that today is already better and I am back on track.. so yeah.. I have resigned myself to having back weekends here and there, but as long as I get back on the horse, no harm no foul. I just need to never forget where I came from, and also remember how I got there, and what I had to do to get here... :) no one is perfect, but I can certainly strive towards that goal. :)  Hope everyone had as much fun this weekend as I did..I don't rregret it.. I just know that the "party" is over and I'm back on track. :)

You sound SO much like me!!!!!! I agree~no harm no foul as long as you can put it behind you and get right back at it!!! The party was DEFINITELY over for me as of this morning, LOL!

I know this is a late post but I just had to jump on the wagon and admit my ways... ugh!  I also had a terrible weekend with eating.  I usually do great during my days off and not so great on my working nights (I work 12-hour shifts at night and everyone around me eats all shift long)...  I try to keep it under control but somehow something ends up in my mouth.  Anyway, enough blaming others.   I have been living with my folks for a bit (Thank God for them, I've been able to save $$$ for a down payment on a house) and finally I'm in escrow!  Woo hoo!!!  I can't wait to get into my own place again and buy what I need and keep good stuff in the pantry and fridge!  I won't have enough money to eat, badly... lol (just joking!)...
