Hey, everyone. I was here a few weeks ago, ready to jump right into WW and lose these last 30-35 pounds. Well, since then, I've lost 4 pounds only to gain it back. Right now, I'm .6 pounds less than when I started. Today I start going to the gym with a friend of mine. We're going to use the gym that's on campus at our school (it's FREE!) but, I'll only be able to work out for about 45-50 minutes before I have to get ready for class. The way I look at it right now is, 45 minutes is better than the 0 that I get on a regular basis. As far as eating goes.....I have real problems. As easy as it is for me to tell myself "don't eat this" "don't eat that" I have a hard time following through on those thoughts. I'm going to tell you what I did yesterday in hopes that someone can relate. I ate breakfast (Chick-fil-a - Strike One) and for lunch I had some corn and hamburger helper that my SO packed for me. Then I went to class and on the way home, I kept thinking about stopping somewhere and picking up some fast food. Now, I live with my parents, and I KNEW that my mom was making dinner. What did I do?????? I stopped at the Checkers about 4 miles from my house and got a spicy chicken sandwich and small fries. WHY WOULD I DO THAT? I know that it was the wrong thing to do, but I did it anyway. The worst part is, I ate a piece of fish and some peas when I got home. Can anyone relate to this.....it's binge eating, I know. What I don't know is how to control it. I'm hoping that something will click in my brain when I hit the gym tonight. Usually, after I exercise I watch what I eat because I don't want the exercise to be a 'waste'. Anyway, I've rambled on enough......Thanks for listening!

Oh yes, I have done that - have dinner twice. And I KNOW I shouldn't, but who is going to stop me? Between having a food obsession and i want instant gratification, when i want something NOW, I want it.

Help!!!!
