I couldn't keep my inner fat girl quiet.

I was doing so great and then I started eating and drinking fatty & sugary foods again. Almost went 2 weeks with no soda and no fast food. I was working out too but, now I am drinking soda eating fast food, ice cream and candy. I need a kick in the butt and some inspiration and motivation. I am terrified to step on the scale and see that I have gained it all back. I weigh 190 and want to get down to what I weighed in high school which was 155 to 165. I will be honest this is what I have eaten today: ½ of a pizza hoagie from my fiancé family’s restaurant, Pepsi, chili cheese Coney’s from gold star like 3 of them and 2 donuts. I am having a serious fatty day. I am really ashamed in myself. L

I had one of those days too. Donuts and cookies galore.  The best thing to do is acknowledge that you messed up get on the scale and see it and then do something about it.  Do you have a time frame that you want to lose that weight in?  Also I wouldn't recomend completely cutting everything bad from your diet because then you will eventually give in to the temptation and have a serious bad food binge.  Trust me been there.  I had lost 10 lbs and gained almost all of it back in 1 month.  Goodluck!

Yup, acknowledge it and move on.

A word of advice?  Don't cut those things out entirely.  That's why you binge.  If you allow yourself to have some fast food once in a while, you won't go crazy.  Using MyFitnessPal has been my saving grace.  At first I thought it was the worst thing ever (who REALLY wants to see that the scoop of ice cream they are eating is 1/2 their daily calories???) but I changed my habits, and on the days I want to splurge, I work out harder.  I literally have a delicious snack (1/2 to 1 cup of cookies n cream ice cream usually) every night!

Don't fall into the trap of "Well I ate bad this morning, I may as well just have a free day. Well I ate bad all day so I'll just eat bad the rest of the week and restart on Monday. Well the month is almost over, I'll just start back in July..."

Slipups happen! It's ok. Every meal you eat is a chance to get back in the right direction. Just move past it and get back to eating healty meals that you enjoy.

Also I agree with PP about having treats now and then.

The biggest favor you can do for yourself is to start counting calories using sparkpeople or myfitnesspal.com....seriously, you become so aware of how you're eating you subconciously and consciously will start to make better choices.

I don't claim to eat perfect, I still eat ice cream and cookies on occassion, but I "budget" for them within my daily calories.

Jump on that scale, and get a wake up call!

I know with myself, once I see that higher number, that's all I need to snap myself out of the poor eating routine, and get back on track to healthiness.

Good luck

Definitely don't beat yourself up about it or try to cut out too much at once. I like to keep Dove chocolate squares around so when I need a fix I can have one or two and not go overboard. A little PB on them goes a long way when my "inner fat girl" won't shut up
