☹My instinct tells me to run, hide, and not divulge the following information. But since I know that I'm here with people who understand me thoroughly, I'll record this journal. Yesterday, Saturday was a great day until the evening. In the morning, I had treadmilled for 90 minutes, like I planned, going for 5.46 miles, at the same speeds and inclines I've been using for the past several days. I even weighed myself again and had lost that three pounds that I had put on in the morning. But then came the evening's festivities.
I started off on the wrong foot, of course, by going to the Bar Mitzvah ceremony on an empty stomach. By the time the party got started, I was famished! So I overate, not horribly, but tasting everything, even the dessert. I just wished I stopped at that! For some reason, though, I took the opportunity, again, to go back to my old ways. I woke up in the middle of the night, around 1:30 a.m. I went to the kitchen and had an old-fashioned pig out.
Now, this is the really bad news -- I had pretty much pre-planned the event, the pig out. I knew going to bed I was going to do it. Why do I keep running into this kind of obstacle in my way of losing weight? I don't understand what's in my head. I almost feel that part of me doesn't want to lose the weight.

Its easy sometimes to hide behind the fat suit we all wear. Even though we say we are unhappy being overweight...it's what we become comfortable with. Its what's familiar to us. I have found I am only successful losing weight when I become completely obsessed with ME. Everything I do revolves around me and my needs. This is very diffrent from who I am when the weight is hiding me. Then I am wife and mom taking care of everyone else's needs first. Until I find a happy medium and learn to balance those two very diffrent people I will never be successful in keeping it off. I am going to try really hard to get there. Forget about the food you ate and get back on track.

All the "experts" on weight loss tell us that when we eat emotionally as opposed to for true hunger reasons, we are trying to figuratively "fill" something up or "stuff" something down other than our hunger. Maybe try to examine what might have been bothering you during the day? Sometimes we get anxious about things and don't even realize it since it has become "normal" for us. But I always find that if I keep digging, I find out there WAS something that was bothering me on some level prior to an emotional eating episode. If we can learn to face those issues and deal with them some other way, recognizing that our "hunger" will not be satisfied with food, we might be able to gain the upper hand. But there's no shame in what you did. We've all been there. And confession is good for the soul. {{{HUGS}}}

I agree with both comments. Evelyn is right, there is probably something emotional that drove you there. It really wasn't hunger, right? So it was something else. We've all done stupid stuff. I can think about how at least once a week I will be eating well and exercising all day, then as I make the kids lunch, suddenly chips and dip are going into my mouth b/c I was hungry and grabbing at the first thing that was there instead of waiting 10 more minutes for my lunch. You might have felt you already blew it and were disappointed in yourself so you just thought, "what the heck- I've blown it, so I might as well eat some more!" If that was the case, now that you are watching what you eat and exercising, your body can handle a night out like that sometimes. But, it is critical you enjoy it in moderation and let it be the end of that and don't let guilty feelings overtake you. If you can do that, you can handle a somewhat decadent night out and all will be fine. Keep up all your hard work and move on. I'm glad you shared!

Looking at the positive: great job on the treadmill!! I'm not an expert on the 'pig outs', but it sounds like you're trying to understand them and make changes. Can't think of a better way to tackle it! You'll figure it out and beat it, I'm sure!

The good thing is that you had a great workout. I notice that I get hungrier when I work out. I don't know what to tell you about the late night binges, but hopefully you can figure it out. Let us know if you find something that works for you. Good luck, Debbra! And please keep up with those workouts. Your body will thank you.

Ive never been a late night eater. Probably because I sleep so poorly on a full stomach.But when I get figity later in the evening I try a cup of decaf or herbal tea. I find that it usually solves the problem. I will also brush my teeth and that sometimes helps too. Maybe if you are going to plan a pig out, you can put a little more effort into it and make it a healthy one. There must be something that you enjoy but limit that would make a good pig out. Think about it and I'll bet you come up with something. A fat free hotdog on whole wheat, low fat popcorn????
