I need to get past today

Jetski · 05-22-2005, 01:19 AM

Ive been doing so well lately and I feel like a failure right now. I just need some support. I never have asked for support before here and I know how many great people are on this forum. Im living in another country and dont have the kind of support I need for me to stay strong and conquer these horrible acts of self indulgence at the moment.
I also feel like a hypocrite because for the last three weeks I have stayed clean on my Atkins woe and have advised others to do the same, claiming that it has worked so well for me. AND IT HAS!! I thought that this mixture would satisfy me with one little serving and well, that turned into 4-5 now. I know my trigger foods and have been desireing something sweet since reading through the recipe rooms

.
I just polished off a whole package of cream cheese mixed with flax, a little cream, cinnamon, butter and vanilla. I feel like complete crap.
I was feeling great when I woke up this morning! Im going to go to the gym and hopefully regain some of my compsure that I have just lost. I hope this hasnt done too much damage. Im going home in a month and want to look and feel my absolute best.
Does anyone know how frustratng this is?!!!!
I think I tried to convince myelf through the whole thing that it was low in carbs, and that it would be ok. Tallying it all up, it must be about 40 carbs plus. Its not even about the food per se, its about feeling in control. Do I have that control to stop at one serving? Obviously not. How derpressing. i went through some hard times last ear and this year was looking better. We fail, we are human. We take what we have learned and try our best to apply it to the next situation, yet sometimes, its not good enough. Yikes, Im depressing myself even more.
I hope to feel more secure and upbeat after my workout.

Hope your workout helped. Hang in there. Some days are just better than others. We all make mistakes, it's just how you handle them that make the difference.

OK- Deed done-sounds like you gained some VERY valuable insight into yourself-and Hey-Trust Me- It could have been sooooooo much worse!

So don't kick yourself too hard-it is nothing that you can't get right back on track and get over!! Hang in there-drink a ton of water and it's done.... Now just don't do that again-LOL
