i made it through thanksgiving but being with the family all weekend and watching them eat made me just want to eat so i just binged! i'm mad at myself. I'm so sick of feeling so restricted and always thinking about food. I ate 2 PB sandwiches, a tone of pretzels, 2 large chocolate chip cookies, 1 ice cream drumstick, 1/2 jar of peanut butter, some wheat thins. I feel gross. I'm just so sick of food controling me like this. I have such all or nothing thinking. Today i woke up and just didn't want to care today. Thanks for listening.
I'm having a very similar weekend...my diet has been TERRIBLE!!! I ate a ton on thanksgiving, then went out last night and ate a huge dinner....today, just went with a 'who fucking cares' attitude.
I'm in a tough way, so I have no words of advice...only to brush it off, tomarrow is a new day...dont let this one drag you down (I'm not).

Ladies... to both of you... I FEEL you!!! I completely know these feelings of being out of control, feeling deprived like "why the hell do we always have to be "on a diet"", or "why can't I just eat this or that?"... it is a horrible place to be in. I am by no means healed but I will say my changes had to start in my [COLOR="Magenta"]head[/COLOR]. I had to stop thinking that I was on a diet or I can't have things.
I put my head in control. I make the descisions! I choose to eat the good food cuz I know I feel better eating it. And the more good food I eat the less desire I have to binge. I am not saying I don't have thoughts... I do, yet I have not acted on them through self talk. Telling myself I know how horrible I feel when I do eat poorly. I basically hit rock bottom just like a drugie and finally made the descision to stop letting food control me. My husband says "think thin". What he means is get in a mindset of a thin healthy minded person. They will generally NOT be constantly eating junk or thinking about junk or food and what they'll eat at functions etc. They just ARE. They eat good food when they are supposed to and stay away from the junk. That is how I have managed these last 7 weeks, and it gets easier. I rotate my carbs irrelevant of training so it is exciting and fresh and I am always looking forward to something different.
Think of food as fuel. Shit in, shit out. Good in, good out. We need to eat to live not live to eat.
And believe you me, I am probably the LARGEST JUNK FOOD JUNKIE on this board. And I have it under control. It took a lot of discipline in the first couple weeks, but now it is second nature.
I am here for you girls... and just know I can't even put into words how very much I understand you.
The Following User Says Thank You to fit mom of 4 For This Useful Post:
fitmomof4: your PM box is full so i couldn't send you a response to your last PM so i'm writing it here. in the ebook she talks about meal frequency in the general quick start guide. she even mentions intermittent fasting as an option (which is definately not for me) she explains that it must fit into your life. She states that she often cycles eating frequency (some weeks she does mini meals, some weeks she does fasting, and others she eats 3 meals). ill let you know how it goes. thanks again.

ok, cleared it out. I am still not sure about this. What is the Author and name of the book you downloaded exactly?
Nia Shanks Fat Loss detour. Its on the bottom of page 24 to the top of 25. The intermittant fasting is on page 27.
OK. Definitely NOT the book I recommended. No wonder it sounded so off to me. (didn't think Wendy Chant knew Craig Ballantyne... he is here in T.O. )
I follow Wendy Chant's Crack the Fat Loss Code. I DO NOT believe in intermitent fasting. For someone like me... just bring on the binge after that.
I don't know any of Nia's info except for what I've read on here... otherwise haven't read it. I recommended Crack the Fat Loss Code. So I can't comment anymore on the diet except I will say this: if you choose to do her plan, follow EXAXCTLY what she says.

You're not alone
hey ive seen you on LFL right ?
Ok ive been way off my diet too since I did my competition. Trust me.. now im DONE... im way tighter in my pants now and not a good feeling but Dickens (my trainer) just says to get back on track and keep doing my cardio and slowly get back up to my intensity I used to do.
You DONT wanna know what I've been having since Nov. 22.... let me TRY to make it short LOL :
- BOXES of cookies NOT just one or 2 the WHOLE box !!!
- A few (4-5) chocolate bars a day (didnt eat this EVERYDAy but it has happened maybe 3 or 4 times since.)
- Muffins
- Fiber 1 bars by the boxes
- A s**t load of protein bars
- Chips
- Pizza... etc...
I swear I aint stepping on a scale until the day i start "dieting" and training for my next competition which should be just a few days after X-mas !
6 weeks huh ? if id keep on eating for 6 weeks like I have the past 1.5 weeks.. id be a major blimp !! not saying you are i am just saying this for me, knowing my body and such.
A good friend of mine told me yesterday (she does figure competitions) and told me "Lucie you ARE normal !!!" (not that I thought otherwise lol) "We all "binge" to a point after a competition, you are NOT alone and those who say they don't are lying" ... It lifted me up cuz i was thinking.. who on earth would binge like I did ??? I swear its more than binging... LOL.. its done and over with now cuz I gotta get my energy back and get back to preparation mode as of Dec. 28.. yes.. right after X-Mas LOL.... thats 6 months from my next comp. in June 2010...
