Ok I screwed up big time today and ate chips and popcorn. Didn't track my calories today either. I had kept my calories low cause it seems that is the only way I lose. Then I just set myself up I guess and have a big ole binge. Anyway I thought I would just start a little thread where we could talk when we really aren't sticking to the plan so well. So there is my whine, now I may have a glass.
I have been working out the last few days a lot more and it seems like when I exercise something just come over me and I HAVE to EAT. UGGG!

yeah, i have been failing - i think i am just so stressed and want to make lots of excuses, lame ones. feeling pretty gross, heavy and pants are so tight...it's all on my belly so it's hard to hide it and i'm so embarrassed by it! trying to love my body, yada yada cuz i know the self negative talk isn't helping, just makes me wanna say eff it even more, i'm already most likely back up over 200 lbs so it's like eh what is the point geez but hate to give up on myself! ARGH. so very frustrated with myself. want to start working out more to feel better but don't make the dang time for it. UGGGGGGG sums it up for me these days as well!

My daughter bought a pint of Blue Bell ice cream which was in the refrigerator. Probably half to three-quarters full. Ate it yesterday with much other food. No wonder my Friday morning weigh in was a number that I get unhappy about. Oh well! I practice regularly coaching myself that what I weigh is not who I am. What I eat is not who I am. I have value because I am a living, breathing person. The same is true of you. Practice that true thought more than the ones which tells me I am a scuzbag because of a number on a scale.
Thanks for the thread Cheryl. Pam

Glad you liked the thread. We can come here and talk it out. Sometimes I know we te to post on the regular thread when we feel like we aren't on plan.
I am still off plan and have not weighed in a few days. Big thing for me. I am exercising. I know the soreness from the exercise and the carbs I have been eating will show on the scale so I decided not to weigh.
I am having a few carbs like some sweet potatoes and popcorn. Trying to keep the carbs good carbs.
No asthma attacks lately, that is good. The pollen is getting bad, I have a teeny irritated throat but no horrible allergies, taking meds so hope I don't get the allergy attacks. Happy weekend everybody!

Last night I had what is for me a binge. Ugh. Ice cream sandwiches (notice the plural), and mini Snickers bars (again notice the plural). I haven't done that in lots of ages and don't want to do that again. Ever. I don't feel particularly crummy today but I did last night.
Oh, and I threw out the peanut butter again. I will be strict not to have it in Mom's apartment any more. It was a sister that bought it last time she was here. I will either give it away or throw it again--full if need be. And right away, too. Thankfully it was almost empty last night. Yes I ate peanut butter, too. So glad there isn't a scale here this morning. Talk about being able to torture myself. Ha!
It is easy enough most of the time to ignore the things like ice cream and the chocolate. I knew as soon as I put the first one of those in my mouth it wasn't going to be pretty. That's how I control that. Not to have the first bite. I have been unable to do the "just one bite" thing ever and don't torture myself with that silliness anymore. I am much happier with having none at all. I have a vast list of trigger food. I don't keep any of those in my house. Out of sight, out of mind. Out of sight has to equal not in the house for me.

My bad off plan started Thursday night with the fundraiser food. Friday I thought "I'm going to want to eat the lovely catered lunch on Saturday so why bother eating to plan today when I know I'll cheat tomorrow." Why is my brain so dumb! Then the weekend ended with me not waiting until Monday "to get back on the wagon" but DH who had been HORRIBLY GRUMPY all weekend wanted to go to the new fire grilled pizza place (I think as an apology) and I didn't want to say no. And it was good. But now I'm positive minded and happy talking in my brain about getting on track and being thinner by my next company trip. Was talking with co-worker Sat and remembered how awful I felt on our last company trip to New Orleans. Fat, hot, tired, fat, and sore from walking. I don't want a repeat.
Oh, brought home a dozen doughnuts and half dozen Costco muffins that were over purchased for my meeting. Ate them this weekend too. They are going in the garbage as soon as I get home! I don't even like doughnuts and I'm eating them. SIGH!

I have not weighed since last Wednesday. Now I am too skeered to weigh. LOL I am staying somewhat LC but ate an apple today and those dang chips! I have a problem with chips, it is no secret. I did walk 4 miles today and am getting some energy back. Still have bad arthritis in my right knee and right hand. The walking seemed to help my knee. It is popping really bad and doesn't bend right. I still think the meat and eggs brought that on.

I ate an entire pint of ice cream Wednesday night. It was an Up day on JUDDD, so I didn't blow it in that sense but boy did I feel awful the next morning. It was a good reminder of why I need to get back to LC.
I have found a few things to be useful when trying to tame the carb monster. Vinegar is good for GI distress. I put a tablespoon in a big glass of cold water and sip it through a straw, or add vinegar to salads. Fermented foods like sauerkraut are supposed to be even better, but I don't care for the taste.
Supplements - I notice a decrease in sugar/carb cravings when I take chromium. L-glutamine also seems to curb cravings if I take it 20-30 minutes before eating. It can be taken between meals too, but I found that didn't work as well for me.

Bunniee, I didn't like sauerkraut until I began to make my own: cabbage, a bit of whey from raw milk, salt. It ferments on the counter for three days. Then in fridge...gets better with age. Yum.

My off-plan foods have been corn based chips, LC ice cream and GF Glutino cookies in excess. I finally quit those things some time last week but still eating over goal on carbs with plan-friendly foods like strawberries, peanut butter, 85%+ chocolate, cocoa almonds and almonds.

I posted in the May thread (before I saw this) about my off-plan struggles lately. Corn products are my weakness. Most of the carbs that I had yesterday came from tortilla chips.

I can't buy tortilla chips, or I will eat half the bag. Thank goodness for pork rinds! TOM started today, which should make it easier for me to get back on plan this week. I need to figure out a way to deal with PMS cravings. Maybe there's a supplement that can counteract the effects of high progesterone.

Yeah, I'm exactly the same way about tortilla chips, which is why I normally don't buy them. But daughter requested them yesterday, and I thought I would have the willpower to resist. HA!

Good to see no new posts here. Hope that means we are all on whatever plan we are currently pursuing.
