In Which Fatso Is Having An Odd Week
Since getting weighed on Tuesday night, I’ve been having a very odd week: it seems, in celebration of not having cancer, my body has decided that it wants junk. Lots and lots of junk.
I’ve tried not to give in, of course, but when I went to the cinema, it was in celebration, and I had a bar of fudge, a packet of crisps and a wee tub of ice cream. Since then, I’ve had two more bars of fudge and some more chocolate, a pizza from Pizza Hut (low-fat cheese, thin crust, trying to keep the calories as low as possible to the best of my ability) and an Indian take-away.
It’s one bad week, but it’s a pretty bad week, or so it feels.
But let’s face it, one cannot eat 200g of chocolate and gain 1lb, right? It shouldn’t be physically possible. Eating 200g of butter on the other hand…
Argh. I’m not overeating. I know that much. I’m just eating all the wrong things.
How do you stop when you know you’re doing that? I’m having difficulty right now. My body just wants junk.

I just dont have it. Remind myself that there is always tomorrow or the next day or the day after that that i could have it. That way you have a treat to look forward to rather than thinking "i shouldn't have eaten that" Plus i just dont go over my daily calorie requirement. If ive had my limit, ive had my limit. Anything else i might want has to wait for another time.

Well, I totally understand. Been there, done that, over and over again. I do believe that the Cancer scare probably did turn you to food to handle your stress.
So, Phew, you don't have it. Thank goodness. Put this bad week behind you. It is done and gone from your mind forever more. You are getting sleepy … lol.
Seriously, I really think that what separates the successful losers from the unsuccessful ones (personal experience, that is) is damage control. Don't let it go a week, a month, STOP it now and back to your goals. (hugs to you).

I have some but I don't go crazy. Non-food rewards are better. I remind myself of the weight loss books I've read. Also, if I buy something that I know is a craving I try to switch it, like instead of the sugary ice cream, I eat a sugar free fudge pop (also eliminates the urge for chocolate too). If I want a piece of cake, I just try to let the feeling pass. If I want popcorn, I get the 94% fat free kind. If I want pizza, I heat a tomato, with some mozzarella cheese, and pesto. It's harder with people around to control eating but it's just another obstacle to work around. Good luck! :)
