Messed Up

Today I needed to remind myself that I'm human and I will mess up now and again! I've been sticking to my diet to lose the weight for my surgery, but today I bought a candy bar. I've really been trying to avoid these. I won't lose sight because I messed up....

I wont say its ok but your human... just remember that pre'behavior is a good sign of post-behavior. Being strict now is a good training for future pouchy. Be kind to yourself and realize that stupid candy bar won today and you are so much bigger than that candy bar. :)

You came here and confessed, that's a good sign.  You're holding yourself accountable.  Use the guilt to do better next time! Once in a while, particularly if I'm out & about and too busy to get a legitimate meal in, I'll have a protein bar.  Most of them are pretty high in sugars and calories, but if it's a meal replacement, I'll have one rather than miss a meal.  My favorites are Twisted (at Target, kinda like a Take Five bar), Slim Fast High Protien (again, a little high in sugars, but I don't dump from it), or a Pure Protein bar.  These 3 seem to be the highest protein for the serving, lower than many of the protein bars in sugars, and pretty tasty!  I haven't had a candy bar since WLS! Well, okay, except for a few of the lil' ones around Halloween...  gotsta be honest there...

Thank you! That's a good idea. I was at a gas station and I was SO hungry from after work... I will next time head to the protein bar area and pick up one of them. Doesn't help it was a rough day at work. I'm a teacher and we have 14 days left... just hanging in there now!

HIJACK.... (I can't resist this)... Darla Dear, I notice that your "favorites are Twisted"... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  That is sooooo true!!!! Sorry, I read that and I burst out laughing and couldn't help but think of how very true that statement is!  You know I love you!!!! Hugs, Debi

YOU KNOW ME TOO WELL, DEBI DEAR!!! 

Don'tbeat yourself up over it. Just try really hard to break those old habits. Don't let the food control you....you are the one in charge! I think it was Linda Anne or Sandie that said.....nothing tastes as good as thin feels.......that is so true!!  Good luck...you can do it...hugs, connie d

Candy is evil but I still crave it. Once in awhile I break down and when I do I have Reese 100 calorie sticks there are yummy and not as evil.

I think it was a quick fix. I can't wait to be thin the hard thing right now is that I still have a big stomach that can fit a lot in :) If this was easy everyone would do it. Thanks for the words of advice... I went on an extra long walk tonight to help count act my slip up You guys rock!

All I can say is first, I commend you for owning up to it.  We've all done something we regret and know that it's wrong to do.  Second, learn from it.  Try not to make that mistake again.  And third, and probably my most important point, I notice you are pre-op...be very careful you don't want to mess things up for your surgery.  Some surgeons will deny your surgery if you've cheated, especially on the liquid diet.... Take care, Debi
