Confession

Okay I have a confession....I fell off the wagon last night.  I made a promise to myself before I got the surgery that I was gonna be truthful about my "slip ups".  So that way I can be held accountable for them and not think I "got away" with it.  But I am not going to be hard on myself because today is a new day and I am only human but I figured I would feel better by "confessing".  hehe

I've been doing really well with portion control since my surgery but last night I kinda fell into an old habit.  Since surgery, I haven't really been watching alot of tv because that was ALWAYS my down fall (like many others) I got head hunger and started munching.  So I've been trying to find things to do to keep my hands busy.  Now I realize that I shouldn't completely avoid everything in my life, I've got to have some will power BUT until I turn my old habits into good habits I have choosen not to put myself in the path of temptation.

So last night I sat down to watch a tv show and I wanted to munch, so I went to the cupboard and got a bag of crispy minis.  There was half a bag left and instead of putting a few into a bowl and walk away, I took the bag with me and ate them all.  Now I realize that it could have been worse, it could have been cookies or ice cream but that fact that I exceeded my limit bothered me.  So I imediately called my hubby and told him that I fell off the wagon...hehe.  Of couse, he has been my biggest supporter, always "reminding" me to put my fork down in between bites....LOL.  So now I am telling you guys that I slipped up and I'm back on the straight and narrow today. 

I can't wait until my fill next week, hopefully I will get some kind of restriction because I haven't had any since I started eating solids, thats why I have been trying soooooo hard to stick to the 1 cup portions.

Thanks for listening gals!!!!!!!

I hear ya.... first i want to ask what the limit is on crispy minis...cause i've eaten a whole bag and they go down just fine.  you crush them up to powder and they wouldn't exceed half a cup i'm sure.  There are worse things you could over indulge on.  Don't do it every day, and you'll be fine.  Just keep in mind your pouch size and be cautious not to stretch it.  I don't think those minis would do that.  Anwyay, I'm not trying to encourage you, but trying to help console you.  You are human and you will do that from time to time.  Otherwise you may gorge on something really bad like a large pizza....now that would hurt....you and your pouch.  OUCH!!!  Take a deep breath and feel normal !!!!

Life is tough enough. Don't sweat the small stuff and don't beat yourself up. Others will do that for you. So you had some crisps. No big deal. You see the error and you have recognised that you overdid it. O.K. You are human and humans do occasionally eat too many crisps. Today is a new day. You never fail when you try you only fail when you stop trying.  

I ,myself, ate 2 ounces of ice cream tonight. I don't regret eating it. My only worry now is if I am going to dump   or not. I will know in 2 hours. I am human and humans eat small amounts of ice cream too. LOL 

As I am reading your responses I just remembered that I also ate a little bag of cadbury mini eggs   That was the first bit of chocolate I have had since the surgery but I agree with you...today is a new day and I have stayed on the straight and narrow and hope to continue to do so!!!!

Jen that is barely a sin. If I were into confessions............enough said.
