I had a BAD weekend!!!!

Help! I had one of those weekends where I ate a ton of bad stuff!! I am so down about it. I know I need to get my head on straight again. I am just so afraid of failing. Please tell me I am not the only one that does this!!?? Mellisia

OMG girl you are not the only one! If someone said that they did not eat bad things for them, I would not believe it for a minute. There is one in a few that stick totally to the plan. Just do your best is all you can do hun! Remember just to go back and do what you need to do......... We all go back to them bad habits but we can not knock ourselves for it or we want to go back to that comfort zone more. Tommrow is a new day.......... One day at a time hun! You are doing great

Hey Mellisa - I'm sorry that you had a bad weekend. BUT - we ALL go through this now and then, you are not alone. And, I know how terrible you can feel afterwards; the guilt, the "why did I do this" syndrome, and beating yourself up. If anyone tells you that at our stage they have NEVER done this, I promise you they are fooling themselves. It's just human nature to go off the straight and narrow path every so often. What we need to do is get back up, wipe the dust from our pants, and say to ourselves "OK, I am human, I made some poor choices, but now I am back in control". And then we go on, and we look to the positive side of things and continue in our journey. Might I ask, what exactly did you eat? I will bet you that it's nowhere near as bad as we USED to eat before our surgeries. Just be comforted in knowing that you can always turn that corner and get right back in the saddle - it's never too late. God bless, Michael 215 Pounds Gone Forever!

Thank you all so much for your replies. I am feeling a little better. I am not a real big sweets eater, but thats what I pigged out on all weekend. I bought a Cheesecake Torte cake and ate two pieces, I had a Sundae Nut Cone, a Cream Horn and some candy. I just don't understand what came over me. I felt so out of control. I am getting back in the swing of things though. Protein, water and exercize. I knew I could count on my friends on this board to help me up. Michael, you look really great!! Mellisia 342/209/170

Thanks, Mellisia! And you look FAB-YOU-LUSS!!!! - Michael

Thanks, Michael! Mellisia

Have a great week hun!

Thanks, Nancy! I hope I have a better week than I did a weekend!! LOL I hope you have an awesome week to!! Mellisia

I had a bad weekend too, but I've forgiven myself and got back on track as of Monday morning. I figure this is like twice since I had surgery that I've done anything this stupid. I was taking out old shrubbery and installing new ones in my yard this weekend. I was tired so instead of cooking I went to the convenience store and bought a 99 cent bag of Cheetos. Ok tired is no excuse. Fortunately the pouch limited the eating to about 3/4 cup of Cheetos each day, plus a snack of crackers/cheese that night. The down side is I got in almost no protein and way too many carbs over the weeked. We are human so I don't think we need to beat up on ourselves because we had a bad weekend. Hope you are back on track now and past being upset with yourself.
