Bad food choices

[accordingtome]

So, yesterday I did some emotional eating. I ate a slice of cinnamon raisin toast, twice. I gained half a pound! ARGH!

a half a pound from two slices of toast? there had to be other things you were eating that added to that.... or maybe you are retaining water? Forgive yourself and move on.

Forgive yourself and get back on track

Its' not fat you gained. It's likely water retention. Get your water in and get back on track and you'll drop those pounds in the next couple of days. I'm more surprised that you were able to get in 2 pieces!

I appreciate your honesty. The problem is likely for those who follow one day of a "mess up" with more days! You're way too committed. Forgive yourself.

It was one piece at a time at two different times during the day! It was actually pretty easy!

Thank you for all the support guys! I am probably retaining water in addition to the toast. I've been doing pretty good with my food and choosing food wisely. ( except for the toast ) !

I thought too for a second "how did she eat two pieces of toast?!?" But seriously, if I let myself eat toast, I would lose weight even faster. I made the mistake of talking myself into eating a bacon roll at my mother in-laws with home made bread. It was 90% bread and I was in pain and agony for hours because my stomach was totally unhappy with the large amounts of bread and I ended up losing 4lbs over the weekend, because I couldn't find enough food at my Mother in-laws that I could tolerate. I seriously think the only things that would slow my weight loss are high calorie non-fizzy drinks, because everything else I can't eat enough of.

I also checked... 1 slice of toast was 80 calories. You need to get far worse at cheating than that to feel guilty!!!! The big problem with it, is that you likely crowded out protein from your diet, which if you do often enough will lead to you losing muscle mass instead of fat.

exactly right... and if you don't eat enough protein, you can lose your hair too! Make sure you take plenty of biotin and vitamin B12.

Good luck

In under four months, you have lost over 100 pounds? That is incredible!

We were told if we wanted something we could have it, just not all the time. Of course protein first, the veggies but not to consider it a failure if we ate something we wanted occasionally bc we are not on a diet. Although on this non diet if we don't do it mostly right we go bald and weak. Nice incentive! Wait I got off track, I was supposed to be encouraging you. Your fine! We know you will continue with your protein and do great.

You know what you did by eating that toast? You reminded yourself of two things: the sleeve isn't magic/it still requires work and that you're human! Cinnamon toast does not automatically equal total failure. You recognized and addressed what happened and got back on track. Good for you, babe. Onward and downward!

Speaking of protein, my boss asked me how do I do it? Not eat much is what she meant. Yeterday she ate a big lunch and skipped dinner and she felt like crap. I told her protein, protein, protein!!! BTW, she doesn't have a weight issue.
