ive been so bad with food choices

no flamming please. im hoping that coming clean will help me start new. i ate 2 slices of pizza yesterday one for lunch and one for dinner, and i told myself today i was going to do good and i ate a little peice of bday cake it was so good. i lost all controll as i took a bite it was like i couldnt stop god i need help. so tommrow im going to good or at least try. and worst of all i dont dump, do any of you find it harder to controll yourself? thank for listing jenia

Hi Jenia! No flaming from me ... I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!! I am so right there with you! I haven't dumped yet either. I got a "no sugar added" icecream bar last night and now all I can think about is wanting another one. Oh, it tasted just heavenly! I was a major sugaraholic before surgery and I'm so scared of returning to those same habits now. And I'm scared that these foods won't make me dump because how can I keep out of them??? I honestly don't know what to say other than I really do know what you're going through right now. I am hoping to make wise choices this weekend! Deanna

I know what you mean sweetie. Especially the few days before my period, I am almost uncontrollable. I had Japanese Steakhouse yesterday for crying out loud. Talk about greasy! I would try to stay away from the sweets if I were you. Just lie to yourself & tell yourself that next time you will definitely dump on sweets. They are too dangerous to play with. I know, I discovered the sweet and salty turtle Chex mix...OMG!!! I had to throw the bag away to get it out of the house. That stuff is insanely delicious! Darlene

No Flaming from ME!!!! ((((((((((((((Jenia)))))))))))))))))))))))) I too am a recovering sugar addict, I have no idea if it makes me dum*****t, simply because i'm petrified to try anything! They fix out belly's but not our brains, we've got to work on that ourselves I guess. I eat the cheese off pizza but i don't eat the bread part, not that i'm looking for an award but it helps me fit in with people when we eat out! I just wanted you to know you were on my mind and in my prayers and you can make good choices, you're doing so very well and you've come so far keep it going girl! I need to use my journal on a more regular basis but it really does work when i write everything down. Hugs, ANDI

Oh my god - if I tell you what I ate today - you'll feel much better. I'm embarassed to post but I'll come clean (for you!). This is the first day since surgery that I've eaten CRAP all day. I've tried things I shouldn't have but not literally spent an entire day eating bad food. That was today. B~ Tater Tots from Chick-Fil-A S ~ Protien Shake L ~ Slice of pizza (Bday party) S ~ French Fries from Wendy's (approx 10) D ~ handful of popcorn, bite of ice-cream, bite of hot-dog and bite of soft pretzel (we were at a baseball game) Does that make you feel better? LOL

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! I've had a lot of social events this weekend (weddings, birthday parties, etc), and each of them had buffet style spreads. Lets just say that I was shocked at the amount of food I was able to eat, and I even had a tiny sliver of cake and didn't dump...yikes! I've decided not to beat myself up about it, and instead log it into my journal. The total for the day was still less than 1000 calories, so its still better than I would have done wtihout the surgery. As long as I'm honest and accountable by logging in, I'm trying to tell myself that its ok to slip up from time to time. Take care, Heather

oh oh oh I had a baby shower yesterday, it was painfully hard to make good choices. the celery plate was fine, but the dip nearly had me dumping, they did offer sliced ham and turkey, but the crossant would have been a bad choice. I also could not believe the amount of food I consumed, told my husband that it was obsene what I put away, he said, what were yout thinking, hello, I stopped when I got full, but was shocked how long I could eat before I got full. 1000 cal is nothing (tremendous for us) but nothing compared to before WLS. you really did great! yesterday: PB: 10 oz tea B: 1 oz string cheese (6g protein) S:16 oz crystal light peach tea L: 3 sticks celery, 1 oz turkey(8g protein), 4 pretzels, 1 sip fruit punch S: 2 sticks celery, 1/2 marshmellow dipped on chocolate (fountain), 1 piece of cake sans frosting S2: 1 cupcake sans frosting, 3 pretzels, 1 bavarian creme filled puff, 10 oz isopure (20g protein: Grape) D: 1 oz salmon, 1 slice squash(8 g protein)
