I guess I’m doing pretty good when it comes to the boredom eating, but the weekends are still killing me.

Weekend before last, the 4th of July (LONG) weekend, really did me in. I ate and ate and ate. I couldn’t stop myself. Well, actually, I didn’t want to. I was completely in control and knew exactly what I was doing and loved every minute of it. Well, that is until I was done eating. Then I hated myself.

So how did you guys do last week? Were you able to only eat when you were hungry? Or did the munchies win (again)?

I guess I’m doing pretty good when it comes to the boredom eating, but the weekends are still killing me.

Weekend before last, the 4th of July (LONG) weekend, really did me in. I ate and ate and ate. I couldn’t stop myself. Well, actually, I didn’t want to. I was completely in control and knew exactly what I was doing and loved every minute of it. Well, that is until I was done eating. Then I hated myself.

The worst was on Monday when we went to the Texas Roadhouse and I had cheese fries. On my way there, I was planning what I would eat. Cheese fries was not an option. I knew I’d already eaten WAY too much on Saturday and Sunday and I needed to get back in control. I even talked it over with hubby and we were both on the same page–no cheese fries!

Then… when it came time to order, I just blurted it out. Hubby said “what?” and then that loving “Cara…”. I looked him straight in the eyes and said “it’s okay, I know what I’m doing”.

The worst part was how greasy they were. But did that stop me from eating them? No! When we were driving home afterwards I was so dern mad at myself! I felt so awful. My stomach, no, my heart, yes. I felt like I’d just betrayed myself.

I’m really hoping one of these days I’m going to be able to win the battle against the food. I love it so dearly and it makes me feel so special. 

Grated, I’m not NEARLY as bad about eating as I used to be. Man, to think of all the crap I would eat and the amount of it–regularly. I’ve come SUCH a long way since those days. But I still haven’t won the battle entirely. What is it they say “you may have won the battle but you haven’t won the war yet.”. That’s me.

I actually gained 5 whole pounds over the course of 3 small days.

I fought and fought and got all but 4/10ths of it off. Whew!

This past weekend I did a LOT better. I’m still up a couple of pounds but I’m sure they’ll be off in the next day or two.

But on the flip side, I really did with not eating unless I was hungry. It’s so darn hard in the evenings, isn’t it?? Man!! It’s like the munchies monster is there hiding behind the couch waiting for me to sit down. He lurks around the house, just waiting for me to slow down for a minute, then he pounces! AAAhhhh!!!

So how did you guys do?
