What happened there?


Yesterday I had what could only be described as a binge. I've never done that before - overeat occasionally, yes; eat quickly, yes; eat when I'm not hungry, yes; make poor food choices, yes; but binge? no. I stuffed 2 packets of crisps down my neck followed by 4 jaffa cakes then an hour late ate a mammoth meal (lovely chap cooked and went a bit overboard on portion size - I'd intended to only eat half/three-quarters of it but instead I scoffed the lot), and later a slice of cake. What on earth was all that about?!? Yep, I was ravenous when I got home from my drive back from Wales (took an hour longer than usual as I there'd been an accident blocking my usual route) which kind of explains the rapid crisp consumption but what happened after that seemed to be a complete 'sod it' sort of reaction. I was cross with myself last night but today am trying not to be - instead I want to work out what triggered that. At least I didn't uncork the bottle of red in the wine rack that seemed to be whispering seductively last night, so I can give myself a little pat on the back for that.

Today, Day 9 is about relaxation. Boy, do I need that! Am exhausted. Roll on the weekend.

Have just caught up on a few blogs - glad to hear others are doing really well. It's keeping me motivated not to just give up.

Keep going ladies!!

Mandie's Gravatar Teresa exhaustion and being over-hungry are a LETHAL combination - you would have to have been superhuman to avoid overeating under those circumstances. I reckon the cake was a "sod it I've blown it" piece of cake! I have started carrying an "emergency" pack of oatcakes in my handbag along with a bag of nuts and dried fruit. This would have served you well in the traffic jam and they don't go off so could be a permenant fixture - just like your lipstick or your mobile! Don't forget to replace them if you use them though - this way you'll never get caught out again! M :))

Dean's Gravatar Hi Teresa
Yes tired and hungry will do it everytime - I also keep the emergency rations with me.
Also the thing that sometimes kicks me off is if I think I am doing really really well, and that seems to set me into self sabatage mode
Or getting hung up on the numbers also has that effect
Glad to read that you are also looking at what you did well.
Just a blip and part of the learning en route.
