Very Upset a with myself

OK - so I started WW again on Friday - doing it on my own - not going to meetings - and I have already messed up big time!!! I am sooo hungry and everyone is still bringing all this food from the holidays in to work because they don't want it at home - well I don't want it at work!!!
Already a failure

Is it just that you're really hungry or that you're really hungry and eating the stuff? If it's the latter, have you actually tried to figure out the points of what you've eaten? It's entirely possible that you may have not eaten as much as you think you have. Maybe you've eaten all your flex points and all your daily points, but the damage might not be as bad as you think. And you know, as cliche as it is, tomorrow really is another day. I hate it when people feed that line to me, too, but seriously, stop beating yourself up over it. If you enjoyed what you ate, GREAT! Really. Just set your mind to the fact that you're not going to eat like that anymore and that you had a crazy week and learn from it.

The bottom line is that you're not going to do this until you do it. You've got to have the mindset for it and you need to do whatever it is to get yourself in that frame of mind. Maybe you're not ready yet and you need some more time to get your head there. Or maybe you want it that badly but have problems with willpower (that would be me, by the way, so you wouldn't be alone). Or maybe it's something else. But when you find the resolve within yourself to do it, you will. In the meantime...stop beating yourself up. I'm here if you need me!

Oh, and have you thought about maybe joining meetings since you say that you're not having a good time of it on your own? Maybe, as we've discussed before, you need that structure?

Thanks for the pep talk sweetie!! I know I just have to jump right back in. I dont' do too bad during the day - well - when people bring goodies into work I do - but usually - daytime isn't bad because I only eat what I have brought with me - but at night when I get home I am STARVING - and I eat everything!!! But- I just need to try again and keep trying until it works!! I also think that if I do join Curves - it will motivate me to keep up with the diet! I'll keep you posted!! You sound like you're doing great already!!

I know how you feel. People are always bringing food into the office. There are two things you need to do. The first one is you need to bring healthy snacks to work. So if you get hungry you have something to eat instead of eating the junk food that these people are eating. I recommend bringing fruit, pretzels, 2 point bars....sugar free jello, or ff pudding.

Second thing...Do not walk by the food that these people bring in. If you do not see it, then you wont eat it.

This is what I do and it works for me.
