depressed

[sunnie]

hi all...

im so depressed . i came back from a vacation where i totally binged on carbs and sugar. i managed to gain 7 pounds in 5 days... it took me almost three years to get down to where i was and now this....im determined to get back on, have people been sucessful after a stumble?....i want to crawl under a rock and stay there....

:(

I went on a binge once - seems a long time ago now. FIVE bars of Kit-Kat Chocolate in a couple of hours. I know how you feel ;)

I went on a fat fast the very next day - amazingly I didn't even put on despite the 300g extra carbs. Haven't done it again though - perhaps it was a good thing. Hated the emotional swings for the next week or so but had to determinedly hang on in there.

Crawl under a rock ... if that's how you feel ... just make sure you don't take any carbs to keep you company! ;) if you really want to see the mirror reflecting a healthier, fitter (and slightly slimmer) you.

We all fall from grace some time so go easy on yourself.

Take care.

Sunnie, we have all binged and the hardest part is to put it behind you and go on. Today is a brand new day so start over, don't do induction but keep around 20 carbs. LCing is a journy and we need to remember the lessons on the way.
Forgive yourself, We do. :daizy:

That's what we are all here for isn't it?

Give each other a helping hand when you or I am down.

God Bless - and take care.
