Friday Confessional

This is an accountability thread. Post your "slip up" here....confession without going to church. Noone will judge you for doing wrong...just putting a post out here so that we can admit when we make a mistake, put it out there and move on......I have been slipping up more than I would like to and I thought if we had this thread going daily, I would think more about my bad choice before I did it. Hope you find it helpful.....



So far today, no slip up but I still can't get past last weekend, It was my aunts 75th birthday party and they brought out the most beautiful cake I had ever seen! Cake is my weakness and I gave in! Just a sliver, but I should not have had any. It has been weighing on me ever since, now it is out here and I am letting it go.

I confess..... last night I attended the "Philly Cigar Club" event (http://phillycigarclub.wordpress.com/) and made a couple bad food choices from the appetizers they were serving. 

The good news - @ the event stayed away from the diet soda, stayed away from the alcohol (it's so damb expensive anyways), and I got in my water for the day (64 oz).

PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION...

That sums it um! If it is starchy, crunchy, salty it is something that calls my name...

Whole Wheat Ritz Crackers. I'm addicted. I think its the combination of salty and sweet and crunchy. Should I buy them? NO. Do I buy them? YES. But I try to limit myself to one serving a day - doesn't always happen.

And even tho the nuts always say 'no caffiene' I have gone back to the Dark Side and my morning 'fix' is a McDonald's Large Sugar Free Vanilla Iced Coffee - it doesn't come in decaf and it tastes so much better (and is much cheaper) than Starbucks. But I drink tons of water after that so I guess its okay.

Half of a cinnamon raisin bagel w/land o lakes buttery spread. . .  but the day is young and I will take it one thing at a time. . .

I have yet to have soda of any kind, don't miss it; but I do have a weakness for salty and sweet stuff, which I try to limit to 1 serving size and keep sugar free chocolate candies for the occasional sweet treat, however, when there is a b-day cake or such thing around, I've been known to have a small piece on occasion, most times asking myself if I will regret it later and is the taste worth it, caffeine I have daily, but seldom more than 2 cups for which I try to compensate by having an equal amount of extra decaffeinated liquids in addition to my 64 oz.. . .

I had popcorn last night - which was "unplanned eating" as per the Beck book.

However, I refuse to feel guilty about it. 

Moving on :)

Last night -- pretzels.. crunchy and salty.   I was stressed/upset and otherwise not in good state.

Given the state I was in, I am proud that I slipped with one portion of pretzels.. In the old days, who knows  what/how much.

Awareness is key to resolvign a pattern/habit.

Ok....here's my confession.   Sugar Free gum.  I know that it is a no-no, especially since I'm only a little over three weeks out.   I know there are no excuses for it, but I seem to get a gross taste in my mouth a few times a day, along with a film over my teeth.  It's not always convenient to run to the bathroom to brush my teeth, so I pop a piece of gum.

I'm super careful and only chew it long enough to freshen my breath and make my teeth feel a little cleaner and then in the tra**** goes.


Whew.....feels better getting that off my chest.....

Congratulations!! The gross tastes is ketosis.   If your breath stinks, it's a GOOD thing!   Try SF tic tacs instead of the gum.  At least if one goes down by accident it won't require a surgeon going in to fi**** out; it'll pass on through. 

I admit that Im addicted to Chocolate chip cookies.  I eat 2 a day.  Not everyday but at least 3 times a week.  THEY ARE THE WORK OF THE DEVIL!
