H E L P !!!!!!

I am out of control!!! I ate a whole snack pack of raisinets, not the really tiny packs the medium ones. Then I had 2 see's chocolates!! I am so mad at myself, how can I be doing this to myself? What will all this sugar do to me? It didn't make me dump, but is sugar bad for us in a medical way? I know it's emotional eating because today I stayed home all day with the kids watching TV, and was so bored I ate. I did try to eat chicken but dumped on that, and in the morning dumped on an egg beater, but I didn't dump on the candy...I am so upset with myself. I am still going to the gym at least 4 times a week which is the only good thing I do and enjoy. Today I burned like 400 calories, but that is still no excuse for me to eat candy. But it is also unrealistic to think we will never ever in our lives eat candy again, (I know I have to stop making excuses for myself) I am so confused and upset. Please yell at me...I need a good yelling!!! I need to get back on track!!!!!

Twinnie I think the candy thing is something that we have all done...I want to try them , to see if they make me sick.....and they don't..I felt yucks after eating 2 see's chocolates...but I don't on other candy...well , it is finally out of the house...and let me tell you...we are going to try and not bring it in...but some good chocolate protein bars.......and when you get the feeling you need a chocolate at least they are going to give you the protein ...we need...don't beat yourself up...at least it is not a whole box of see's candy... you can do this ...you can ...you will do this...

Today is another day. You wanted it, you had it not its over with. Just get back on track today. Nobody is perfect and we are going to slip up every now and then. As long as you are able to regroup and get back on track ,then dont sweat it. Just dont make it a pattern. You are going to the gym which is a great thing. Its hard when you are home and there is nothing to keep your mind busy except for a bunch of fighting screaming kids trust me i know lol. No yelling here! Ever need to talk just email me, i keep the computer on most of the day and check often. Need support just let me know!

No, no, no, you don't need anyone to yell at you! What you need is to forgive yourself and realize that these things are going to happen, but you need to pick yourself up, forgive yourself, and move on. This surgery didn't make us perfect, it just gave us the tool to take advantage of for as long as possible. Chin up, this too shall pass. Hugs, Vi

I know exactly how you feel. But I donot think you are doing that bad. What is wrong with raisens? They are fruit. I eat fruit all the time. and 2 little candys are not that bad. Just try not to make them a habit. We can do this! Yes we can!!!! Deb 392/318/180????

Celia, I know you feel badly, but truly, you have so many years of living ahead of you, there are bound to be days when you don't make the choices you want to. But if you deny yourself all treats, you'll end up feeling so deprived, you'll be more tempted to binge. See if you can allow yourself to have small, planned treats, that you choose. For example, tell yourself that two days from now, you get to have two bites of dessert with your family. That way, it's planned, you have permission, you'll be able to make good food choices, knowing you have that special treat coming on Tuesday. Then when Tuesday comes, you can enjoy those bites, knowing they're a small part of the overall nutritional intake for the day. Yeah, I had been led to believe that the tiniest amount of sugar would cause dire consequences...and for me too, it does not. So that means I have to be my own conscience, just like you do. I hope you can find a balance you're comfortable with! TAke care, Sheryl
