ok i was doing great until i went to the gym. i usually eat dinner before i go to the gym, but today i did it the other way. the whole time i'm working out i can't stop thinking about eating. i just wanted to get home and eat. i lost all my energy 30 minutes into my work out and i couldn't even finish my usual 1 hour on the eliptical machine. so now i'm home making dinner AND I CAN'T STOP MUNCHING WHILE IT'S COOKING. i'm eating everything. i had a cream puff, 2 slices of toast, some yogurt covered pretzles, i just can't stop munching!! i'm falling apart. i have no will today. i just want to be in my old ways again. i love food, i love eating, i love eating out, i miss food. i'm a complete basketcase right now that i'm shaking. i'm gonna break down.

If you are still munching..... STOP it! Just write here what do you feel, then write how will you feel later. Or leave everything and run out of the home to have a 10min walk. BE STRONG! We are here for you, just like you and we understand what are you going through. Please remember how bad are you going to feel after you eat all that stuff.
If you are already done with eating everything, there is nothing to do about it besides forgetting about that and moving forward. This instance will not do too much harm, but you have to prepare for other possible "hunger attacks". Eat something every 2-3 hours, get rid of all cookies, candies, choclate, chips and everything that is fattening. Keep lots of rice cakes, instant oatmeal, baby carrots, cucumbers, those diet entrees from Lean Cuisine, lots of fruits, and other stuff under 100-200 calorie per serving. Also if you feel some remorse, just on these few days exercise more for 15 minutes and you will burn all extra calories that you consumed today. We are here, just write us for help!
i think i had an almost emotional break down combined with stress from my term paper and changing my diet. my body was confused on what to do. usually i'd make all my comfort foods and truck on. but i didn't and my body objected. like there was a fight between my will power and old habits. so i ate my dinner (which made me fel ill) had a big glass of water (and a beer) and took a one hour nap (and called my mom because i only wanted her, plus her visiting this weekend is stressing me out). i feel drained but no longer hungry or the need to munch. what i munched on wasn't too bad, and i think i only went over my calorie aim by 200 cals. (which puts me at 1600 for the day). i think i'm doing better. i have my sunflower seeds handy, a huge glass of ice water and i put everything else out of view. so i'm going to work on my paper, and just take it slow.

Good you are OK now. 1600 is not bad at all and you can even lose weight with that too, because when we are heavier we nead more more than 2000 kcal to keep the same weight.
I know how hard it is to adapt to the changes in our eating and exercising routine and at the same time be as productive with our work and studies as before. I am going through the same process. Before I started eating less and exercising I was too concentrated on my classes, now I hardly convince myself to get back to the assignments, which is pretty bad. I think as time goes by it will be easier, we just have to hang there.
For the last 2 hours I am fighting with my appetite. I layed a table for my husband and mom, also my friend came over. I have been drueling over the soup and the pilaf, and the sausages and the cheese and bread. I want to eat all that stuff so badly, but
I am glad that you're feeling better Audrey. In the future, do try to eat before you leave for the gym. It's tough enough that we're trying to avoid the tempting unhealthy food, and it is much worse when you're feeling starved.
Yesterday I gave an advice to you, and I did a big boo-boo myself :(. After I wrote my reply I managed to escape the temptation for all the food in my kitchen for 2 more hours and then.... great breakdown. I ate and ate and ate. I wouldn't feel that bad, but I ate so much chocolate, 5-6 of those Rocher ones. I know those are about 75 kcal each, plus all the other food that I consumed including the soup, the pilaf, the string cheese, the bread and sausage mini sandwiches.
we will be strong!! and not let our school assignments get the best of us!
i heart cream puffs. i eat one as a reward once in awhile. today i'm doing good. it helps when i bring food to campus and no money so i can't buy any other food. although the girls in the office tend to put cookies in my face.
congrads on weight loss. i can't wait for people to say that.
