I'm right there with you!
I'm 9 lbs. down with 11 more to go and I've been doing really, really well--until the past few days
I kept telling my husband yesterday that I was feeling the need for brownies and he just kept saying "We don't need them--we don't need them". He knows I'd be upset later
I'll send some good thoughts your way as I try to make it through the day with you.
Good Luck!

I think the best thing to do if you still have some self control is pick a lowfat alternative. When I want icecream I make a smoothie but add milk, sugar free cocoa mix, some flavoring(sometimes I use sugar free General Foods Coffee) and lots of ice and blend till smooth. Sometimes I make fat free/lowfat brownies and add some fat free ice cream. Just pick a healthier cheat. If it is only dessert in general Sometimes a baked apple will do.

i'm happy to report i don't want to binge anymore. i was ready to go to mcdonalds but i just focused on how terrible i would feel after i ate it and it wasn't worth it. once i mentally decided i didn't want that junk the cravings went away. instead i had a nice healthy burger on a sprouted bun with steamed veggies:9

Right there with ya. I have been on a very strict diet and exercise program for the past three weeks and finally gave in to my cravings last night. I needed the carbs so badly, plus I am like a new woman today!:7 Happy, cheery, my body is all happy and satisfied.
Oh, here is what I ate. I had 1/4 bag of Honey Gold braided pretzel twists with mustard...the bags are small, so it wasn't like a total pig out on the whole bag. I also had several handfuls of reduced fat wheat thins. Plus 1 1/2 glasses of wine--which really I could have taken or left.
It wasn't a total gross out binge, but just enough to make me feel good again.

well, i just ate about 2000cals in 3 peanut butter sandwiches, 3 rice crispy treats, 1 pop tart, and 3 bowls of kashi crunch cereal. while i know this is excessive and i feel REALLY full right now, i feel good overall. I haven't cheated on anything in a long time. i've been super hungry all week so i just decided that i'm just going to eat. i may take the week off from exercise as i haven't done that since november. i can already feel my metabolism going into high gear. it was sooooo yummy and i don't regret a single bite! i may not eat that much for the remainder of the day and may just do a light dinner but my body sure did need that surge of cals.:9

Sometimes a good binge helps me feel better and surprisingly gets me back on track. DH gave me a giant box of Valentine candy and last night I finished off the box (about 12 pieces left) then ate a bag of dill pickle chips and the 2 slices of pizza. Felt very satisfied and went to bed then this AM my stomach hurt so bad that I don't want to touch any crappy food for a while. I try not to do this all the time, but usually do once a week and it helps me stay on track the rest of the week.

OMG! I thought I was the only one who does this and feels this way. I can do really well with my diet but then some days I just wanna eat what ever I feel like it .Last night I ate a whole box of Samoa Girl Scout cookies while watching the Biggest Loser and didnt even flinch. I also havent worked out all week I think the body and mind need a break. The wonderful thing about it is that you can always jump right back into your normal routine.

Wwoman, the irony of you eating the entire box of Samoa's, while watching The Biggest Loser is hilarious. I can relate ;-)

Everybody NEEDS to cheat once a week so you're way overdue. DO IT, then get back in the saddle. My prescribed (once-a-week) cheat meals help me to keep from going off on a total bender. I find I don't look forward to them the way I used to because I've really cleaned up my act but, every Wednesday (my one off day) I have a Bad Girl Meal anyway and then I go right back to my good behavior, with no further bad food longings. It works.
