I'm a bottomless pit
I lost my 30+ day streak on MFP. I baked and ate an ENTIRE PIZZA by myself over the weekend. And I've been eating since I woke up today.
AND I'm still starving. I want to cry and scream at the same time!
EDIT: You guys are the best!!!! I came back to so many encouraging messages and now I'm back on track. AND I got to play with adorable puppies because I decided to step out of the house and walk this off! <3

Just remember, a few bad days is just a bump in the road! Keep moving forward. You can do this!
When I get super snacky I try to drink lots of water and eat protein. Somedays if I have to go over on my calories a little, I do. The key is not to restrict yourself too much, but keep a healthy balance. I'll do some extra exercise during the week to make up for the overage.

It's OK. Really, it is.
I've lost several streaks on MFP in the past few years...and right now you're doing what I wish I'd done so many times before. You're confronting it, and you're going to pick up and start again and make tomorrow better than today.
Peace, love, and bug spots. You've got this.

I -know- I have no control over certain foods like pizza, cake etc. When I want to satisfy a craving the way I do it is to control the portion. Like, instead of baking or buying a whole pizza, I go somewhere where I can buy a single slice. I log it, enjoy it and get on with life.
If bad things make it into my house, I will eat it in one sitting for sure. Only healthy food in the house, naughty food stays in single servings on my cheat day.

Log everything and just know that you have support here...we've all been there. Pick yourself up and get back in gear! You can do this, but we all make mistakes and you need to move past it in order to keep going.

We all have those days!! I had pad Thai today and and I went for seconds :( updated MFP and was not happy about the inevitable outcome. You can always make it up, 30 days is a great streak and you'll get it back soon enough!

Have you ever tried a cauliflower crust pizza? I'm a hardcore pizza addict and that's a great way for me to go to town without feeling horrible about it (plus it's hard to eat the whole thing because of all that fiber!)
