I am a bad man....er...boy....er...pirate... Confessions of impulse...or something...

Ok, ok....  there's no drama or anything to my little rant....or maybe its a rave..heck, I dunno...i jus****ed to say...that when it came time to eat my "thanksgiving meal".....  I was so good.... little bite of turkey, a couple of brussel sprouts, a salad, a protein shake....and then it comes...

It was quietly put in front of me without me asking for it....

Apple Pie..... YES...  I did eat it....  no i didn't chew the first bite... and no, I didn't feel guilty....until bite number 5 but that wasn't enough...I still ate until it was all gone....  it was an impulse... yet i knew I had been a bad boy... but ya know...I suffer plenty most of the time with eating mainly low/no carb items to keep my svelty pirate figure under the radar....  I'm not tellin' my priest about this although I'm Catholic... (yes, yes...i know... many hail Mary's and stuff...)  but at least I wanted to come clean tothe people who support my during my moments of weakness....

I know there are others out there who ate potatoes and stuffing....i just know it....

wink, wink....

Don't feel too guilty, I couldn't pass up on my Mom's homemade stuffing this year...or any year for that matter.

I don't think that you were that bad. We have given up so much and work at this so hard everyday that occasionally we do slip up. We all have to remember we are human and we make boo boos but it doesn't make us a bad person. You have done so good using your tool as long as you do not make it a regular occurance you will be fine. Myself I was just allowed to start pureed foods so my dinner as a couple of teaspoons of pureed ham and baked beans and deviled egg.  Baby food looking food never tasted so good. LOL

Ah, Kiddo, one piece of Apple Pie doth not make thee a bad boy. We must get past the old guilt-ridden way of consuming food. We make good food choices or we don't and experience whatever consequences may come. You know?  And there's something to be said for planning a controlled "cheat" (although I want a better word). For whatever it's worth, and I'm not Catholic, I absolve you. ;)

Wow, I hope you enjoyed every bite.  I have no intention of never having apple pie or chocolate again....just not every day.  I found the T-giving treats very special this year-no guilt, but no huge quantities either.

Happiness without guilt, go figure.  Of course, some people LIKE guilt-if that's the case, then T-you have been a bad bad boy...... 

you were so bad!!!!!!!!!!!
i did indulge in my stuffing and some potatoes. but for dessert I was a good girl...sugar free fat free pumpkin pie that was Delicious

Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. Ya know we are still human after surgery, although sometimes the sounds of my new tummy don't sound all that human. Anyway don't beat yourself up over a little apple pie, just don't eat it once a week  or I will have to personally come to the island and teach you a lesson. I hope ya had a lovely thanksgiving and wish you a very merry christmas. I will be thinking of ya while I am sunning in mexico. Hopefully we will get to the island over the summer. Can you pm me your mailing address, I have a little something for ya. Big hugs coming at ya.           CHRISTY

YOU...Bad???  Never!  LOL!
A little apple pie won't put weight back on.  Its a guilty pleasure but don't feel guilty about it because you are so diligent with your good eating habits all of the time.  You share your WISDOM with so many other people that a little apple pie was just enough to make you THINK you were being bad!  LOL!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Thomas,

Don't beat yourself up so much over this.   What you did is not any different from what all of us have done at one time or another.  I mean jeez....your only human.  So, you had some pie. Big deal!   I hope you enjoyed it!  Don't give it another thought sweetie. 

Eating is like anything else in life.  All things in moderation - it's not like you are doing this every day.  Plus, I believe that if one totally deprives themselves of anything they will crave it all the more.

So, just pick yourself up,go forward from there, and don't give it another thought.  OK?

Huggs,
Pam

I had (albet a small helping) some dressing and some dumplings too.  Everyone kep****ching me to see what I was stuffing into my face.  For the most part I stayed true to my diet.  The cool thing is none of my family makes anything deep fried for Thanksgiving.  I had a slice of ham, 2 slices of turkey, some dressing, a little bowl of dumpling noodles, 4 olives, 4 sweet hot pickle slices, 2 spoons of green bean caserole, one small slice out of the yams, some squash (which was devine), and later in the afternoon I had a small cucumber salad.  Dad has lots of water and Crystal Light (since he has started drinking it too) so I had non-carbonated options which was awesome.  For desert that night I tried a very small piece of our family favorite Mississippi Mud Pie.  I ate about 4 bites and said man this is just too rich for me.  I wanted a piece of Pecan Pie but my mom told me NO.  I listen when mom talks, lol.
