Gail, I agree with what others have said...you should not beat yourself up for eating "off plan" over the weekend....

...because it's just not productive or good for you. Stress isn't good for us in any way. Stress, even when not accompanied by binge eating, is not good for weight loss or overall health. So lighten your stress load by forgiving yourself.

But in doing so, find a few quiet moments to step back and think about what stressed you out and how you turned to food for comfort. It's a natural thing to do. Even people without wieght issues do this. But you want to lose weight (I believe), so you need to find other ways of coping with your feelings of stress.

What's that expression...something about learning from our mistakes? If we don't learn from them, we're destined to continue repeating them...

Be good to yourself!
