I pigged out tonight...

[divinegurl]

for the first time in a month. I am so depressed. I am trying so hard, working out everyday, drinking so much water, my water guy is scratching his head in disbelief, eating better, smaller meals....

I KNOW it took 9months plus to get where I am now (when I was pregnant) and I KNOW it will take longer than a month to get back to where I was. I just feel so lousy. I seem to have stalled without ever actually getting anywhere!!!

I'm so discouraged.


I feel fat, ugly, .... and it doesn't help that my husband and I are having problems now.


Anyway... thanks for letting me vent. Otherwise, I would probably explode.

Tomorrow is a new day. You have to stay positive. Also, why did you pig out? Were you bored? Lonely? Tired? Upset? Was the food in the house? Maybe get rid of it for the time being- even in hubby/children/etc doesn't like it. They want you healthy, so you have to remove the temptation.
set realistic goals- we "fail" when we set impossible goals for ourselves. Losing 30 lbs in a month is not possible to do in a healthy way.

Ask yourself (and be honest- its brutal at times, but it works- I promise) Ask yourself what are your food triggers, Why do you eat? If you aren't physiologically hungry- then don't eat. Find your habitual hunger triggers. Try to make good choices. But if you have one bad day- get over it because tomorrow is a new day and if you beat yourself up about it, then the cycle is only going to repeat itself. Make lots of little goals and as you reach each, give youself some kind of treat- a manicure, pedicure, a new top, whatever it takes that keeps you up and going.
Also allow yourself the occational treat. If you deny yourself everything, you will inevitably binge. Allow yourself one meal a week, and have what you want. Like, if you love ice cream sundaes, allow youself one (no calories counted) after say a moderately healthy dinner.
What diet plan are you on? Low carb? Weight watchers? 1200 calorie?
There are ways to allow treats here and there in every program, you just need to find a way to make it work for you.
Men problems are hard because its hard to just leave the house and go work out or whatever that helps make you feel better. (drives me nuts that they have so much friggin control). Try reading, or come on here and vent. We are here to support each other.
You are not fat. You are not ugly. You are a beautiful woman who has just had a child. And that is the most beautiful thing in the world. Get up tomorrow and do your hair, put on something nice and do a little makeup. And get back on track. Its okay.

Don't beat yourself up over one night. Tomorrow is a new day.

Okay, you "pigged out tonight", don't pig out tommorrow. Maybe your just depriving yourself of the things you like too much. Do the tablespoon rule. If you must have it(icecream, cake, macaroni and cheese or any other snacks) make sure that it can fit in a tablespoon with no overflow. Don't let it be everyday, maybe just allow yourself a tablespoon every other day or on the weekend. Don't beat yourself up. From your post it sounds like you are very disaplined and healthy. Your months of staying on track far out way your moment of weakness. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! You'll be fine, so smile :D !
