I feel like I am slipping...... Helpppppppp

Barb, My best suggestion is get out your "little Plate and little bowl" again. After you put your portion on your plate, put the rest of the food away. Once it is out of sight go and relax and enjoy the food on your plate. I will be six months out in a few days and I find I still have to do this. You putting your food in the Little dishes puts you in control. And I always make sure I leave a few bites on the plate. Its just something I do to prove to myself that I no longer HAVE to be a clean plater. I have the self control to stop when I am satisfied. And Barb to be honest sometimes I DONT have the control. But I fake it anyhow. And each day it gets a little easier to live this new life. I think you are doing great, and recognizing problems is half the battle. You have identified your weakness so you can plan a good strategy to beat it. I KNOW you can do this. And you have no idea how much your post helped me today. I am dealing with some of these same issues. Thank you my little smiling angel for helping me recognize some bad habits I was slipping back into. I Love you, Miss Laura

Laura and Richard,and all that have responded, Thank you for the support.... I feel bloated missable just like laura said about mcdonalds I am so ashamed. Today I am doing liquids. I am going to take control. It took me a good 10 minutes to eat that. I dont think it was quite two cups. Once you smash them there isnt as much.... Wishful thinking..... I dont even has gas. I need to get this out of my body... I need to POOP. That might make me feel better get this out of me. I have beat my self up enough. Now I know I cant out eat this surgery.... I wanted it to bad.... I will take control today. I am just so mad I was able to eat that and not get sick..... That is like a slap in the face.... And now I know I can over eat... The weird thing is the night before I hate pot roast and ounce of that a small piece of potatoe and 2 small carrats. It got stuck I got so sick.... I wish this happened on the beans. I love you all the support his wonderful. Thank you Barb

Barb, You sure dont need to be ashamed here, you are amongst folks who have done and will do the very same things you are doing/did. We all did things we wish we could take back and we cant. All we can do is control our actions this very second and then we work on gaining control over a minute. We are always gonna have that love affair with food. Hopefully as the weight comes off and we love feeling better, we get hooked on that feeling and love being healthier. We are all here for a purpose. Somedays we are the ones needing a boost and other days we are the ones to help prop each other up. We Love you and I wish you a blessed day. Hugs Laura

Laura I feel alittle better. I took a cup of water and poured it into the bowl my dad brought the beans over in. He brought over 1 cup of beans. I thought it was more because it looked like so much. I would say after they are all mashed it would be less. That is how I managed to eat them all. It just looked like so many beans. I am so use to only 2-3 ounces. Dont get me wrong I did over eat... I am doing a punishing myself to today with only protien and fluids no food. Tomorrow will be a new day. Thanks for your support. Hugs Barb

Don't beat yourself up, just get back on the wagon! Try to avoid things that you ate in the past when you were emotionally eating. I don't even bring my "comfort foods" from my past life into the house. Also, I bet that even tho you ate the 2 cups of beans yesterday-today you will have to remind yourself to eat! There must have been something in the air yesterday, I felt like I had eaten too much yesterday as well! Good luck Becky 254/152/145
