I can't stop eating... I think I am pmsing and just can't stop! Today I have had

1 1/2 eggs with a piece of toast for breakfast, a Lean Cuisine (Chicken with Lazagna) for lunch, some halloween candy, small snack size but enough to make about 2 candy bars, then had some pop corn. Then a few more pieces of candy. The scary thing is that I still have not felt that I have had enough! What is happening to me??!!

I must regroup and pray that this is gone by tomorrow. It has been a slow process already, I would hate to gain some of the weight it took so long to lose!!

Thanks for listening... just had to put it in writing so I would realize I need to stop!!

I have days like this too..I think we all do.. the good thing about the band is even though you think oyu are eating alot, you really are not.Dont let it get you dwon.. Tomorrow is a new day, get back up on that band wagon..protein protein protein in the morning..it will keep hunger at bay all day long. You can do it!

Don't panic! I've had days like this too, and you will get back on track tomorrow. You really didn't have that bad of a day food wise. Compare it to a really bad day before you got your band...

Try taking 10 minutes in a dark room for some stretching and deep breathing. I've been doing that lately and it's helped me a lot. Good luck - you can do it!

"I" allow my self one day a week to eat more! with not to much guilt. every one has day's like that. Just push through them. Good luck take care.

At least yours is only one day!!! I've been doing that for the past couple of weeks (off and on). I am back on track though. Just go to bed, wake up tomorrow and continue eating the right way. That's the great thing about the band. Good luck to you.......

One piece of candy leads to two and three. If you can stop at one, go for it without regret. I'd also suggest increasing your snacking after lunch. I have been eating 1/2 banana w/ Peanut Butter, 1/2 small apple, and a yogurt between lunch and dinner. I'm hungry!!! But I'm still eating 1200 or so calories a day because I eat a big salad for dinner, or something otherwise sensible. Today I had a yogurt and a 1/2 turkey and cheese sandwich on toasted wheat bread with lettuce, onion, mayo and mustard. Hit the spot! It didn't have me craving more sugar, got me through till dinner, and stayed within my calorie range. Up those snaacks...make 'em good ones. Avoid the junk.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone. Tomorrow is a new day. I went to the store and bought some protein bars and some protein shakes. Hopefully that will help as well. I know most of us have these kind of days, but when you are "experiencing it" at the time, you just feel lost and ashamed. I will be back on the band wagon tomorrow!! Thanks again.
