Someone please kick my ass!

I dont know what's been wrong with me, but for the past week, I've been eating HORRIBLY! I cant help myself for some reason. Ive eaten cookies, fried foods, all sorts of CRAP! Ive been snacking non-stop. I dont know if its because of the holiday or what, but Im out of control and I feel like I cant stop. It seems like everyone has been doing so good during this Thanksgiving and Im (like my old self) am doing horrible, and being a big fat slob. I feel like that I may be able to eat a lot again or something. It's strange. I actually at a WHOLE grilled cheese last night! with 4 or 5 french fries! Whaaaaa! Tonight Im going to dinner with family to a seafood restaurant, and if it kills me, im going to make SURE I order broiled seafood. Someone needs to kick my ass! The ONLY good thing, is that I finally lost 3 pounds after what seemed to be about a 2-week stall. *sigh*

I know exactly what you mean!!! I have eaten EVERYTHING in site this week. I even grubbed on cheesecake, peanut brittle, kettle corn and brownies without dumping. Not all at the same time of course but it still scares the crap outta me! I feel so bad like I am such a loser with no self control. I hope you and I both are just going through a phase. This is the first time since surgery that I have lost control. I feel like I have failed. I can't offer much support but just to let you know you are not alone! When everyone's done kicking your ass, send them my way!! We have to remember why we had this surgery in the first place. Think of all the goals we have already accomplished. How far we have come and how good this surgery has been to us. I also think we are being way to hard on ourselves. We screwed up and we are only human. Let's pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and promise to try harder!!

HI, Please don't worry and beat yourself up over not eating the right way! We all have been eating the wrong way a long long time....that's how we ended up having surgery... What I do when I'm not having a good day or two.......is go back to start!! I keep it real simple for two days...and promise myself not to eat extra no matter what......after that it seems to wipe out the taste of anything really good and jumpstarts the losing again.. You can do it!! Good luck and hugs... El ps...It's very hard to go out to eat!! and the holidays rot for ALL of us...it's sure the same as last year....before the surgery!

Tiffany, What the hell did you have the surgery for if you were gonna eat all of that CRAP!!!!!!!!!!! Just Kidding-I totally did the same thing this week!!!! Happy holidays, now snap out of it! Consider your ass kicked, or ninja-fied C Leigh

Ooo you skeered me. I am glad I read your whole post. Kathie 285/272/**222**/150ish???

How was the broiled seafood? Just checking to see how the night out with the family went. Remember the deal? Broiled Seafood Only! Sonya Sumrall

well if you kick my ass first I did BADBADBADBAD over the holiday Went to my mother in laws and gorged myself. She had some cheesy poofs on the fridge and I kept eating handfuls. And they were semi stale..I mean WTF was up with that? Then she had peanut brittle and I had to test the waters to see if I could eat that, well I did. And I dumped. Serves me right. Sigh... No ass kicking from me, I also consumed a half a subway sub including the bread and didnt even feel stuffed. I probably ruined my surgery already. I fail at everything...what does it matter? Donna having a pity party

Well, I will NOT be the one to kick your ass, b/c I am WAY in trouble, too. I have been eating what ever does not eat me first. And last night, I overstuffed myself after working for 14 hours. I was so hungry! I was miserable, crying, so nauseated. I probably have stretched my pouch. I feel so much like a failure.

Am I wrong? I've decided that if I want something - I'm gonna have it. I mean, I can eat so little that it can't be that bad. I ate a half of a small brownie - didn't dump, a piece of pecan pie - very small - had a little problem after that one, I've had a bite of cookie dough, and a cookie, etc... The difference for me is that I would binge on all of these things, and if I deny myself these treats, I'm afraid I'll binge again. So I just enjoy it and get over it. What do you think? HUGS Kimberly

I'm with you Kimberly!! The difference is that before if I oinked out on something, I would consume 1000-1500 calories, and now it's more like 300-400 calories. No problems!! No worries!! It just feels lika a lot of food because of our post-op limitations, but really it's not!!! There is very little that I wont sample these days. In fact it appears to everyone else that I have amazing will power and self control, when really I'm thinking, "If I have more than one bite, I'll barf!!" They need not know!! Besides who am I to talk, I gorged myself last week---and more than once!! C Leigh
