Do i restrict or what?! AA!!!

[taurushead]

oh dearie me bored..now that ive started asking stupid questions ive got another for you. :think:

i ate well yesterday, i eat well EVERY day, some days i count calories just to check (or else i dont bother with enough, you know the feeling) and everyday its right on the mark.
today was all planned out, get up, have breakfast, do assignment, go meet sister for coffee and cake (haven't done that in so long!) have lunch, do other stuff, dinner, and it all would've fit perfectly as usual BUT...

yes ive gone over before..but never like this.
last night i got up at two am and ate. so much. not caring about sugar. not caring about what was mine and what belonged to housemates, two fruit buns, a handful of crisp things that i dont even LIKE but at the time tasted like heaven, and two tbs of PB (id been dying to buy some last night, but hadn't gotten around to it so this was housemates. sigh.) . i added it up...1000 calories.
and id eaten plenty during the day?!?! and plenty of good FILLING foods.
AAA. what the DICKENS?! and when i went back to bed i was so HUNGRY still.
oh well. so anyway..now this morning im thinking..i have to rearrange my day. what do you do, when this has happened and you're happy with your weight and nutrition and just wanna erase all the extra sugar and crap and calories??
i mean...i know you can't, but still. do i count calories again today, and half the extra last night and take off half today half tomorrow (all would set me up to binge) , do i just pretend it never happened (that..seems crazy but a lot of my thinking last year was out of whack so whatever im told be logical people ill actively listen to)?? what do i do :wall:
i just wish i was waking up..wihtout the 2am escapede and with my lovely day still ahead of me.

i know it's extremely hard to do so, but please try to go on with your day like normal.
:hug:

my friend just gave me 'the hobbit' on mp3, lol. ive read it (the old fashioned way) but im seriously considering dragging my butt to the gym and cycling through as much of it as i can. its just annoying..coz haven't done more excersise than walking lately coz i feel like crap. but i guess i had to go back again sometime...

Just go back to your normal day :)
The problem, as far as wanting to eat lots of food is that maybe you are not eating enough calories to support your activity when you do count calories leading to 'gorging' when that time comes. This is the problem with no carb dieters. They will deprive their bodies for so long then BAM their body wants everything it didn't have before and wants it all at once and wants it in a SUGAR form!
When we get to a starvation feeling it usually leads to a sugar craving and we will not make a good choice.
For you, fortunately it was only one night - BIG DEAL! :)
Don't worry about it, but please make sure you are eating plenty during your day to not lead you to let this take place to often.
If this happens every few weeks or opnce a month - WOOPTY DO! It is fine :)

You shold see me when I feel I deserve a treat...stand back because if you are in my way when I go to Vegan Treats you will be sure to get run over!

BARRY ......you rock:guitar: so wise.
thanks for that. i agree with the whole treat thing, i go 'over' quite a lot and eat bad things now and then..i just figured...1000 calories, in the middle of the night between a good dinner and a good breakfast is pretty unnecissary!!
and i was eating plenty!! 2000 calories a day for a very light excersising lifestyle, and its all whole good food (almost..). oh well. you're right, its one day. i just hate the icky feeling of knowing all that processed food is in there, all that sugar just sitting in me:cry: not to mention the empty calories. it sorta feels..'cleaner' to get rid of it. but im sure it doesn't work that way.
i guess all i have to complain about then is that im feeling so full, after breakfast so the whole meeting the sister for cake (which was GOING to be the whole treat thing, was so excited) has lost its appeal!
oh well. i said id take whatever answer i got, so i guess ill just let it go as FREAKIN WRONG as it feels ehehe.
thanks though..you really do rock. and really are wise.

A little tip....before you meet your sister next time eat something before you go - HEY...MAYBE I SHOULD LEARN THAT FREEKIN LESSON!

OOK...you want to hear overboard....
last Saturday I was out and about and ran into a member of my gym and we got to talking about things and of course fitness & diet came up. He says to me, "I woul dlove to be built like you"..I'm like..WHAT! He repeated it..so although we all have insecurities and THINK we look SOOOO different than what we really are I felt kinda good (at THAT moment - not on a normal day :() SO I TOOK OFF FOR VEGAN TREATS! A cherry cheesecake, piece of carrot cake, brownie with peanut butter bomb filling on the top and a chocholate covered cream filled donut later and I was full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess how guilty I have felt since then???
I have a few TV appearances, a talk with the gymnastic parents and a professional fastpitch softball team and I feel like I look like 500 pounds!
Damn it It is sooo hard to stay away from that place on the weekends!

[taurushead]

its funny because its true....

and now. i must be off. NOT to 'burn off' calories from last night (i can just..feel them..sitting there. so many...oh golly. so behind the 8 ball. sigh. but moving right along..), but because i want to listen to the Hobbit thing and feel stupid sitting around doing it. so im gonna walk outside. eheh.
