Keep slipping up

[KillerLoop]

I've been dieting for a while now. I got the point where I was in my best condition ever and looked great.

All of a sudden things took a turn for the worst and I don't know why. I'm unemployed at the moment and have just moved to a new city. That's really been getting me down. Being stuck in the house all day alone is no fun and I keep binging on shit food.

I'm sat here now with a doughnut and a tub of ben and jerrys. Sufice to say my condition I once had is now slipping away.

I seem to only be able to find joy from food and it's costing me too much eating this shit!

I just started seeing a girl and she came to stay last weekend. I really like and enjoyed seeing her but I acted like a grumpy bastatd whilst she was here and when she had gone I realised how stupid I was and how I messed up the time I spent with her. I even started crying the other night thinking about how I miss her and want her here with me.

This isnt me at all!! I'm usually such a strong minded person and can stick to a diet and training routine.

Has anyone been through something like this? Any words of advice?

I went through a similar situation when I was unemployed bro.

You have to decide what you value more, How good it feels being really really really good looking vs how good a binge is.

After eating something like that the guilt was such that I realized if I foresaw the guilt that came along with eating shit food, It was easy to fight the Urge.

You also need to keep busy during the day while your unemployed, find hobbies, etc. I Golfed, went to the Shooting range, shopped, went hiking everymorning, rode my bike, played basketball with the kids at the Y, anything.

Its good to take a month or so from diet once a year in my opinion so keep your head up and get back to training and eating right.

Damn man, I can relate in a way. I started my diet for a photo shoot a few days before being fired. Plus I had just broken up with my girlfriend a few days before that too. I had to just stick to my guns if I wanted to look good by the day I needed to. What you should do is set a goal, for example to regain your former conditioning in 6 weeks or 8 weeks. All the dicipline in the world amounts to little with bodybuilders sometimes when we aren't training for a specific goal with a set timeframe. That's when most of us seem to be unyielding in our diets.
You were probably an asshole that night becuase you are not feeling very good about yourself. Once you get your feet back on the ground finacially, and you get your body back to a point where you are somewhat content with it, you'll do better with the ladies. Still man, I know how it feels to have some many things hit you at once and totally fuck up your life. You aren't alone bro. Hang in there man, and start setting goals for yourself and things will start to turn around.
