Ive failed! ive been eating the candy! : (

i cannot belive myself! the very SECOND i got to my moms, i ate a pack of MnM's. then a sucker...later i ate something else, then today i ate something else! what is wrong with me, how can i be so stupid to do that when i went through all this to lose weight, im just sabatoging myself.......its like i have NO self control! candy was ALWAYS my weakness, and i guess it still is! i keep telling my self that before i would have eaten TONS more, but it doesnt make it ok......and i didnt even dump! wasnt sick AT ALL!!!!

OMG me too~~~~ i was hoping is would make me sick. but no luck today is a new day and I'am trying not to eat any!! good luck to you i think it is going to be hard with the Hoilday coming but WE can do it!!!

Don't feel that way. Nobody is perfect. You just can't stop years of bad eating habits. It takes time. Believe me, I'm having the same problems. I ate some rice the other day and I thought I would explode. It was the worst feeling. I knew I shouldn't eat it but I couldn't resist. I have trouble stopping when full. Then I take that last bite that is one bite too many. Ooh it's awful. Anyway, I'm just saying, you are not alone and you are NOT a failure. Hang in there.

I was very naughty on Halloween as well. I ate candy, candy, candy!! I didn't get one bit sick either. Oh well...........

I did it as well... one mounds bar and a cookie... However.... think of it this way...... last year HOW MUCH WOULD HAVE YOU eaten? We cant expect to be perfect.... I wish the surgery healed our brains!

omgsh!!! this is so funny!!! i did really good last night while we were trick or treating, but today...actually as i was reading your message....i was eating some of my kids' hallloween candy. can you say busted?!?!?!? i rationalized it by telling myself that if i eat several pieces of candy, then i will dump and it will make me not want it anymore. i'm still waiting for the dumping part. i actually did dump today, but it was on an avocado and cheese sandwich. what's wrong with this picture?!?!?!?!? i'm so glad to know that i'm not the only one out there feeling guilty for eating candy after having to go thru surgery to lose weight. thanks for making me laugh at myself a little today. we'll all make it through!!!

Kim, I know how you feel. I have been eating the wrong things too. I feel so guilty when I do it. I just tell myeslf to get back up and do what I am suppose to do. Today I had a cookie a chocolate chip one at that. It did not even make me sick. So now I am wondering if sugar is going to be a problem for me or not. I have to see me dr on the 17th of this month for my 3 month visit and I want to lose at least another 5 pounds and me eating cookies and candy will not help. So keep your chin up and don't be so hard on yourself we all will have our momnents when we are weak. take care, Chrissy

WOW! thanks so much! i KNEW i could count on you guys! LOL so im NOT the only one being bad! it is true, before i would have eaten way more, and been sneaking my kids candy,lol. i guess we are all human, and maybe 1 mini candy bar is ok. after all, that IS what a "skinny girl" would eat! (only 1 or 2) NOT 20! LOL kim

Okay your guys, I hate to be the killjoy but you all have got to get control. We went through too much having this surgery and we do not want to fail, but it is not fail proof. It is all a mind game from now on so we have to get control and keep it. Now that some of you can eat sugar and not suffer any consequences other than no weight loss or possible weight gain it is going to be even harder for you to resist from now on. We get so little food to eat and every morsel needs to be nutritous! It is not easy for me to resist sweets either but I do because I must because I have to be sucessful with the surgery!! I know you all hate that you have been "bad" but we in support of each other need to help each other get back to the reality of how serious this can be. I am saying all of this with the best intentions. When I write to you that I have been bad you better let me have it!!!!! It is always nice to know you are not the only one being bad and I see that all of you feel so guilty for eating the candy but guilt is one of those things that causes alot of us to be bad. I just want all of us to be a great success and in Jan after all of these holidays have passed I want us all to be alot thinner and healthier!! We have gone through alot to get here and we deserve to look and feel great like other people do!!! Okay I will jump off the old soap box for now. With love, Really!!! Judye

I agree. I don't mean this the wrong way, but I appreciate these threads because they keep me on track. I have not eaten anything with sugar since my surgery. Two reasons: One reason-Three days before the surgery I went on an all protein and water diet. During that time, my body went through a drug like withdrawal-FROM Not Having Sugar. I realised then that my body was and had been addicted to sugar in many forms, which is why I had never been able to make healthier choices and lose weight. That convinced me more than anything to have this surgery. To make it impossible for my body to go off the wagon and become addicted again. Two- I don't eat sugar because I have read these threads and I see the fear and frustration. I don't want to risk finding out that I CAN eat a snickers bar without getting sick. Because then I Will. And another. and another. Bottom line, thank you for posting this. I had this surgery to change my life, not just my body and this board helps me stay on track. Best of Luck to you all, in getting your cravings in check. I fear I would not be able to if I ever started again.
