messed up real bad

well, i was on day 12 of phase 1 and i was craving sweets so bad then i endced up falling off the wagon this weekend and in a big way. Not only did i indulge in a plethera of alcoholic drinks fri and sat (red wine, flavored vodka and seltzer, oh and lots of sangria and margaritas) then i split a whole basket of tortilla chips at mexican, had 1 flour tortilla. saturday night at a birthdya party i had bread then a huge thing of chocolate mousse cake and then the worst was sunday i went to a basketball game and had a french toast bagel in the morning and chicken fingers and french fries.

i was doing so well before but my cravings got so out of hand and i had lost 7 of the 10 pounds i wanted to lose htat i thought it wouold be ok. i'm back on phase 1 again today for another week (making it 3 in total) but how do i stop myself from binging and purging again?

please help!!!! the sugar free desserts arent helping because i can only have them once a day and at night (im at work all day) and its around 3 or 4 oclock that my cravings for sweet soar. i am ok with not cravbing bread but this weekend i couldn't help myself just because i felt like i had been deprived for so long.

i haven't weighed myself but i'm, sure i gained some back. ugh.

I must have missed the part about only having the sugar free treats once a day. Where was that?

Don't worry about messing up. I screwed up and was beating myself up about it. Now I've decided that since this is a way of eating and not just a diet, I'm going to just get back on the plan and keep going. I want to have some of this weight off by August (when my oldest starts Kindergarten).

i meant that there are only 75 calories per dessert per day and with a fudgcicle there is not much else i can have without going over. also i can't bring anything frozen or refridgerated to work since we don't have a fridge (my office orders our food and our fridge is stocked with juices and snacks for clients, no room for my stuff).

So if you have one fudgesicle that is 75 calories (or whatever they are...I don't have the box here), does that mean you can't have any other of the sugar free treats in the same day?

i never knew about desert being only once a day. I thought that it counted as a snack that could be had inbetween meals. Oh well. Today makes two weeks and if that is one of the only bad things I'm doing, so be it.

The Blue bunny fudgesicles are 35 grams each. So you can have 2!!! Just a suggesstions, get the no sugar added and you will be able to have two of these.

Uugghh, I feel like I'm running in circles and screwing up left and right and it's only day 3. I'm trying so hard and am still doing things wrong.

well the problem is that i can't bring frozen things to work because A. they will unfreeze on the way, and B. i have no freezer. that's why i can't eat two things. i brought a jello cup today (10 cals) so hopefully that will help/
