Disaster! Ranting!

File under: Weight Loss

uGHHHHH!! I’ve been *trying* to count my calories since the beginning of this week (something I’ve never done before!).  I usually eat about 1400 calories a day, which I think is a little too much considering that I HARDLY exercise anymore. Where the hell has my motivation gone? Seriously, when I get out of bed, it’s a mental battle over whether I should make the 20 min ride to the gym or not. And even working out at home is a struggle for me now too! CRAP CRAP CRAP! I feel like I’m slowly spiraling towards disaster and before I know it I’m going to gain ALL the weight that I worked soo hard to lose back!

 Last night I went out with girlfriends, which I havent done in a while. I had two drinks! AHH! Soo many calories, then I had a dessert. And I totally overate. I had no idea what happened yesterday but the whole day I just snapped and went crazy eating everything in sight. I really binged, ate three eggrolls, brownie, 2 scoops of ice cream and many, many other fatty things….wow. What happened to me!? Food is and has always been something I struggled with, and it always wins! Yesterday really proved that to me :( I had like 1 1/2 cups of passion fruit vodka, then at the bar had a vodka cranberry drink. Anyone know how many calories are in these drinks? I’m having a headache trying to figure it out. Needless to say, I went WAYYYYYYYY over my calorie limit yesterday, which is 1200-1550 calories/day. I think i consumed 3,000 calories, if not more yesterday! SHIT! How to undo this damage…………………

    By not doing it again today. And tomorrow. And all of the next month.

    We all have slips. Shit happens. Life goes on. Luckily, fast gain = fast loss.

    The WORST thing you can do is to try to starve it out or excersise it out to extreme. It will screw your methabolic process. Just do normal thing, maybe a little bit stricter than normal. A little.

    I too try to stay under 1,400 cals a day, and it is really really hard. the portions are tiny. The choices are limited. Many yum things are off limits. So, it’s not a bad thing to relax and then get back on track asap.

    don’t worry too much about it! just try eating a bit cleaner the next couple of days….you probably didn’t do as badly as you think you did :] nights out with the girls are my downfall too—love those mixed drinks but they’re so not good for you (Long Island Iced Tea = up to 700 calories!) sigh
