When I think about cheating

Okay-- I confess. I ate something last night that was not pouch worthy. I got paid back too. I have been craving ice cream, BUT I HAVE RESISTED. I have been so good about avoiding fast food. But I have seen the commerical l for the Sonic Sweetheart Blast one time too many. Cherry flavored ice cream Chocolate candy pieces, whipped topping. IT DEFEATED ME. I've had a stressful week. (Found one of my co-workers deceased in her car at the mailbox, and my aunt that has bone cancer is in the hospital on a ventilator, cancer possibly spread to her brain). I drove by Sonic twice before I gave in. I bought the ice cream Blast. It was yummy for about 4 bites. Then guilt sat in. I couldn't eat any more. I threw it out the car window. (yes- I littered-- I didn't trust that ice cream in my car.) I drove to my sister's house and confessed. My stomach cramped. I was nauseated. I had several BM's. I felt faint and shaky. THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE W/DUMPING SYNDROME. BAD ICE CREAM--NOT POUCH WORTHY. So when you think about cheating.... beware. Follow your first instinct. Is it worth the calories and is it pouch worthy? I LEARNED MY LESSON.

Glenda don't beat yourself up too bad. Really you did the right thing by getting it out of your head. If you hadn't tried it you would be still worrying if you could have it or not. I think it is best to get it out of your system so you know if your pouch can handle it or not. Remember that is one of the pouch rules, if you crave something or what something try it. Who knows your pouch may have liked it but I know you know your limits. After your day you deserved a treat, I just hate that it made you . Sorry to hear about your co-worker and Aunt, sending a and prayers your way. Take Care

Oh GLenda... I know what you are talking about. I had one of those last year and it was so yummy! I see it now on the signs and I want it so bad. You did good by throwing it out the window... littering or not. If I would have been behind you I would have stopped and finished it off. Haha... I do like to stop at Sonic in the morning and get a diet cherry limeade. It ties me over til lunch. I cant believe you have never dumped before. Still suprises me that you can dump after a year. Thats good though. It truly is a blessing. Keeps us in line. I am so sorry to hear about your aunt. Please know that we are praying for you all....

Don't feel bad, I can understand. I am hoping tho that the fear will be strong enough to keep me out of the ice cream - esp B&J's Cherry Garcia, which is my FAVORITE. I know that sooner or later I will mess up - and we are human so it happens. You didn't gain weight from your boo-boo, and you learned a lesson and often hard learned lessons are the best learned. I applaud you for fessing up! You go girl!! Smooch, Arlies
