is this normal when sticking to a strict diet??

[stevemorse0]

been actually having the best results suprising to me by doing this macro diet stuff. However here is my pattern. I have done great now for 11 days. I have stuck too counting, weighing the whole correct marco stuff!! I have been getting very very good results even in this short time.
NOw here is the DESTRUCTIVE pattern. I get obsessive. This become so over the top with me that I dont know how to enjoy ONE lousy cheat meal.

Yesterday husband say lets go out to eat. Its Valentines day and you have been so great at all this why not have some fun. So you get whats gonna happen here, DIET completely goes all out the window. Then comes the bad part, guilt, feeling terrible, wishing I never did it, it was not worth it, so on and so on and so on. I am thinking now in my sick mind that I blew it, I am terrible, I am weak and its like I will be good for the next 20 days then I need to find a way where this wont happen again. How do you live your life on this STRICK DIET? DO you ever go off? How can I succeed? Guilt ridden today

get a hobby. dieting shouldn't consume your entire life, thats the best way to blow it. get used to the foods and the schedule and live life normally. know that cheats once a wk are good for you, they help avoid plateaus. heres what i recommend:
crossword puzzles
knitting
housecleaning
laundry
rubber stamping
collecting miniatures
pogs
collecting beanie babies
just to name a few
