Made myself sick....
Yesterday was my husbands birthday. I made him a cake. I did lick the spoon but just once at the end. I didn't eat any cake last night but ONE bite. I felt so proud. Then today I am making dinner and the rest of the cake was in the kitchen with me...alone. It was just me and the birthday cake. First, I just took a bite. Then it was two....
Before you know it,I have eaten a pretty decent size piece of cake one bite at a time. Now, I feel icky....and it is my own fault.
Why do we eat things that are going to make us feel bad? **** Will this EVER stop? I'm so mad at myself. I'm gonna go to the gym and work it off but still.....DAMNED OBESITY!

A peice of cake is not the end of the world. Get on the treadmill or whatever and work it off. The best time to hop back on the bandwagon is with the next meal. Don't take on the attitude "well **** I already blew it for the day, may as well have that peice of bread I been wanting". Move on, its over and done. I did the same thing yesterday myself, had an ice cream cone while at Kings Island with the kids, I threw up right at the table with the kids watching....how humiliating!!! However, its over, I have moved on and am on track so far for today.

I agree, don't be so hard on yourself! You can't live the rest of your life without trying something. I can still eat sweets although I can only eat little bits. I don't deny myself but I try and learn to live normally from it. I just make up for the calories with the next meal or three after that. It's like anyone who doesn't have a weight problem. They can eat this and that sometimes but, they just don't eat this and that today and tomorrow and the next day. Normal weight people eat a little and then stop or they eat a lot and then don't eat it again for a long time. Also, keeping active will help you burn those calories off. I ate half of a candy bar last night before I realized how much was gone and boy oh boy my stomach didn't feel good. I told my husband to eat the rest because I was not going to have that around me anymore. When my stomach feels bad after I have eaten something I shouldn't, I remember that feeling and try and learn from it. I make my mistakes but, I am finally succeeding over this obesity thing that has consumed my life and I am fighting back. So, you had a piece of cake... was it good? Hell yes, I bet (LOL). Now, don't have anymore, go to the gym and then eat protein and drink your water. That's how you do it!!
Please dont be so hard on yourself. I am sure we all will have moments such as this because after all God made us human. I have done this many times before surgery and have had such guilt that the food item was not as good as I thought it would be. I am so happy for the RNY because I have not been able to do that yet but after all I am just three weeks out. I am sure my time will come. I will keep you in my prayers...look up...a new beginning is happening!
