Everything but the kitchen Sink.....

Ok, today was HORRIBLE.. my weekly weight in , every Tuesday morning and I lost NOTHING!! I was so upset. What did I do, put myself into a tail spin and started eating out of pure depression. Chips, pretzels, cookies, Then we even went out to dinner.. where else.. a FREAKING chinese buffet and then took the kids for FREAKING ICE CREAM. THis is the first time since surgery that i have done this.. I'm so pissed and upset with myself i just want to cry.  I can't beleive I did this today. I don't get my first fill until next week, I'm afraid I'm going to be eating like this until then. I need to gain back control. I'm so damn mad at myself. Usually I can't eat much at one time, but the last two days I've noticed a big change.. Like I haven't even had surgery. I know I haven't had a fill yet, but before I wasn't able to eat very much at a time.. Now it seems like I'm just WIDE OPEN...
UGHHHH I want to climb in bed and pull the damn blankets over my head
Hopefully tomorrow will be better!!!

Don't beat yourself up.
We all slip and have bad days.  But you own up to it,. 
1 day of bad eating is not going to sabotage your tool. 
You will continue to lose.  Try to focus on the basics.  Re-read the Dr.'s diet and exercise plan .
Be proud of all the days you have done great.  Don't focus on the 1 bad one.
Hold your head high, we are all human, and we all screw up...................get a fresh start tomorrow!

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT! NOW!!!!!!!!!
  Beating yourself us isn't helping.. You have had two busy weeks and you need to stop!!!! so you had a bad food day...  we all do it... trust me.... Tommorrow start all over... dont let scales get ya down because it can change daily....
   Tommorrow make yourself do two walks instead of onee, or something to ward off the food aholic day... Balance the scales... you can do this...
    Feeling wide open at the stage your at sounds NORMAL and Frustrating... but you can do it.... one day at a time....

I'm not sure how the saying actually goes but i'm going to give it a try....

~~~The only true mistakes we make are those we refuse to learn from~~~

That being said, you gotta work on your coping skills.  I'm the last person in the world who should be preaching this BUT breaking the unhealthy food habits (as much as possible) that we had pre-band is one of the major components to our overall success.  I'm still working on this myself and likely will be doing so to some extent for the rest of my life!  The fact that you came on here and confessed to your WLS buddies is a great start!

Now, once the kiddos are put to bed go there yourself because tomorrow is a new day and YES you do get another shot at it!!

Once you start to get fills things will get better and DON'T BEAT yourself up! 

Thanks Ladies.

Yes I feel like I was at confession.. I'm not even catholic..lol

Tomorrow is Another day and it's also OCT>1st. which starts the OCTOBER EXERCISE CHALLENGE so I'm hitting the track after I drop off the kids!

THANK YOU

Amen to everything your other wls friends said.  Take care, tomorrow is always better when you accept and correct the things you did today.

Stop beating yourself up. Start over and just make up for it. Everyone has a pitty party day it only natural. You are doing great keep it up! Hold your head high and keep on going!

sandi-
I read this today and thought I know exactly how she feels.  But, I was also glad to read that others told you not to beat yourself up.
I hope today has been better.
I am thinking of you and hoping all is good today

I have felt the same as you and i have had days when i just want to grab a bag of chips and munch out.... some evenings when i come home from work, i go in the kitchen and just think about what is there to eat THAT I SHOULD NOT EAT....occasionally , i eat more than what i should.( like a pint of ice crearm instead of one small dish, and convince myself its okay because is was low fat)..yep  and fill just horrible after i do..... but I have good talk with myself , get on this forum and find support from the members on this site....the next time you are TEMPTED, just remember how you feel now.....and just know that everyone here is cheering you on.... after the episode with ice cream, decided i better not have any in the house unless it is fat free, sugar free...
