GRRR Stupid Stupid Stupid

Well I started the day off wonderful. I was putting together treat cups for my daughters class. They are 8 oz cups that I have filled with candies and stickers and such. Not thinking about what I was doing, the wrapper was off the bite size snickers bar and it was down the throat before I even had a thought about it. So far I am not dumping but am I upset with myself that I did it with no thought whatsoever. So now the cups are done and the rest of the halloween candy is locked in the office with hubby. Not a good way to start the day but I am determined to fini**** much better. Kat

Hey Kat don't be so hard on yourself. Isn't one bite-size snicker better than two...and better than the whole bag?? If we constantly deprive ourself of little treats once in awhile, to me, that will just make us want them more. So I had a little bite size candy bar today, and that was it. Just stopped. Felt satisfied and nothing got hurt!! I might add that I am about to start my monthly so that little bite of chocolate probably saved someone's life!!!! Sometimes we may fall off that wagon back into our old habits..but getting right back up immediately is what is important, and thinking about it as fast as you did shows just how much your thinking has changed!! Im proud of you for that.

Kat, I'm sure this has happened or will happen to everyone of us at some time or another. Old habits of just popping something into your mouth without a forethought don't go away overnight. Don't be so hard on yourself. It is done and over with and most importantly you stopped at one and then got the stuff out of your proximity. Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy

Kat, You handled the situation so well. Don't beat up on yourself anymore. I've done the same thing -- it's so hard after 44 years for me to completely change those old habits. You're doing great! ~Wanda

Hiya Kat, Can't agree more with what our Mayers have said.What wonderful encouragement!!!! Just wanted to say you are very special to us all here at the May msg. board and we stand with you and beside you thru the ups and downs, just like you do for us . Hugs and have a great day, cuz you are worth it, gal. Mary

Don't worry too much about it, Kat. Last Halloween, I ate an entire five-pound bag of candy all by myself over the course of three days! Just think of where you have come from and where you are headed! Hugs, Tracy
