I feel so gross, why do I do it?

[Thewalker75]

I need to write this down and shame myself so I don't do it again.

In the last 24 hours I have eaten 2 Belgian buns, a big packet of m&ms, a whole packet of chocolate hob nobs, 4 mince pies, 2 magnums as well as usual breakfast, lunch and dinner (all of which are reasonably healthy).

I've done so well the last few weeks, people starting to comment on how good i looked and i even got down to my pre first baby weight. Why do I sabotage myself? I'm too scared to weigh myself now but I know I need to to shock me back to the plan.

I just wanted to say don’t be too hard on yourself. We all have days like that but I’ve learnt over the years just dust yourself off get back on plan or whatever thing you are following keep going and it will be ok.

Don’t let it ruin your whole week xxx

Are you getting enough nutrients in your body? This could be a lack of something which is causing you to crave sugar.

Just draw a line under it and go back to your healthy eating. Yes, you are self-sabotaging, but don't make it any worse. What's done is done, now get back on the wagon.

Oh - and just an idea - why do you have all those foods in your house if you struggle with temptation? I would stop buying them.

I went out to the shop yesterday morning to buy it all - my basket was embarrassing but i didnt care. Oh yes there was a packet of Doritos too.

The only treats I keep at home normally are protein bars. When I feel like this it's like someone takes over and I just think 'fuck it' but it's so stupid because I've been feeling so healthy and my clothes fit nicely and now I just feel like a flump!

It's all gone now so going to draw a line under it. Will be steering clear of the local shop for a bit.

I self-sabotage too, I have no idea why. And I’ll eat anything that’s in the house, including dry cereal, bread and cheese. So you have my sympathy as I know how frustrating it is. I had a healthy start to myday today and had a sandwich for lunch, followed by the contents of the kitchen cupboards!

It’s only one day so you might have only gained a pound or so ..... please don’t let it stop you going back to your healthy eating.

Draw a line under it and move on, be your own best friend, if your best friend came to you in the same situation you would be kind and tell them they had a slip, they are only human and to just move on and try again. You wouldn't berate them and ask why they do it and tell them how awful it will be when they next weigh in!

Be your own best friend.
