I think im an addict

So i came across this article and after reading i may have just come to the conclusion that i have a problem and need to do some serious health analysis. Heres the link to the article
http://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/dangers-of-sugar?cid=socHE_20140713_27713086
And heres why i say i have a problem.... so i am really trying to loose some more weight especially since i am starting college in september and i was 19 days doing good eating and exercising i felt great and was starting to feel better about myself. My goal was to reach 21 days of keeping up with good eating and exercise and at day 19 i dont know what happened. Me and my mom made it a movie night amd i decided to devour everything. And i ate oreos, icecream, cheese doddles and barbeque chips, amd pizza. Afterwards i felt disgusted and extremly bloated. All my hard work at the gym this week was put to waste and i do my weigh ins on sunday and im afraid to look at the scale. I am so dissapointed at myself cuz i was doing so good. I read somewhere thatit takes 21 days to brake a habbit and i couldnt do it! I legit think i have a problem with sugary junk food and i dont know what to do. I feel gross and i really want to change. Threwout these days i felt confident i dont know what triggered me to eat or where i went wrong. Im just so mad at myself. Sometimes i feel like i can never stay true to myself when it comes to goals. Im so sick of this. Im going to the gym tomorrow morning to start over but now i want to start over with a 21 day health promise to myself, but i actually want to do it this time. How can i stay true to myself? How do you gius get your will power? Im not giving up i refuse to.This so called addiction to junk food i have will end. Heres to day 1 all over again. I feel like im running in circles.

Don't panic or beat yourself up, your several weeks of eating and exercising well aren't wasted or undone by a few days of excess, you're not back to where you were in terms of building strong muscles and good habbits.  Just, go back to doing things that nourish you and help you to be well.

i was doing great the whole week and that one day (yesterday) of binging i gained 3 pounds. I counteracted all the hard workouts I did.

Don't feel so bad about the 3 lbs.  That's probably excess sodium intake.  I bet that one night of eating freely wasn't ~7,000 something calories. Smiley Tongue

 

When I visit my mom, I don't watch what I eat at all (it's all her fault; she too good of a cook!).  When I get back home, I'm up ~5 lbs. sometimes, but I'm back to my previous weight after a few days.  The important thing is to just not let one incident cause you to falter.
