How come?
How come when I eat even a little of something not good for me I feel incredibly guilty? Like yesterday I had a handful of chips and 5 chocolate covered pretzels and I felt like such a fatty-mc-fat-fat for eating it that it made it unenjoyable? How come I feel like that and people on here go out and eat MASSIVE amounts of crap and are proud of it? I think I am a wack job haha

whoa! who is proud of eating junk? who gives a shit what they eat and how they feel… it’s all about you. the way society has people and their self esteem on lock down is ridiculous! Don’t let their bad habit become yours.
IF ANYTHING DRINK A COLD GLASS OF WATER!!!! and walk around.. to forget about the temptation…
Look at that handful and ask yourself, is this really worth it? all that heart elevation and cardio I did to bust my ass, and I’m going to add that trans fat back into my body???
is it really worth it?? what is it I really want?
trust me.. I get like that sometimes. but lately I dont even have the urge to put myself through that torture. I know you can do it! I’m here for you girl.

If you are going after a certain goal and have decided on strictly following a nutritional program that does not contain your 5 chocolate covered pretzels then I can see why you feel guilty, you cheated and we all feel guilty when we cheat…at anything.
If you are obsessing about your weight and appearance feel that those 5 chocolate covered pretzels are making you into a fatty-mc-fat-fat then I think that esthermoore is dead on when she talks about what society has done to the young women of today.
One of the things I enjoyed most about the program I followed (which was Body for Life) was the one cheat day (I called it an earned day) that they built in to the program so that anyone on the program could have a real life and go to parties, anniversary’s weddings etc. and enjoy whatever was served without feeling guilty and they could address any cravings that they might be having once again without feeling guilty.
While it is true that what other people eat shouldn’t be of any concern to you and that your eating is all about you I would be remiss if I didn’t say that even though many people eat massive amounts of crap, not many are proud of it and many of them have eating disorders or problems that they try to cover up by acting as if they didn’t care. Believe me they do care.
Finally, you are not a whack job, you are someone working hard and trying to achieve a certain body shape and doing quite well if I might add and may be guilty of overstressing the damage dome by those 5 chocolate covered pretzels. On the positive side it is always good to be aware of what you are putting into your body and to stop and think what the nutritional value of your foods are but give yourself a bit of slack. As long as it is only 5 and not 5 + 5 + 5 and so on you are doing great.
