MY WEEKEND OF EATING....

Ok, so I went out of town this weekend. I am so ashamed of what I have eaten in the past 4 days. I feel myself slipping back into old habits so I need to confess my sins on this board in an attempt to stop this right now. It started on Sunday afternoon. I downed an entire Baby Ruth candy bar in less than 3 minutes. I did not throw up or dump, but my God I wanted to!!!! Then, on my way home on Monday morning I had half of a BIG GRAB bag of Doritos and some malted milk balls. This did not make feel as bad b/c I washed it out of my pouch with a bottle of water. Today I had a small bag of Reese's Peanut Butter bites and another half of a BIG GRAB bag of Doritos!! I have not worked out since the Bridge Walk on Saturday b/c I tore up the back of my heels. I tried to be cute by wearing the no-show socks w/ my sneakers. BIG MISTAKE. I am trying to let my heels get better before I start walking again. I bought some really good Band-Aids so I am going to give it my best effort tomorrow. I hate that I am having these backslides and I am not quite 3 months out of surgery yet. I am asking everyone to keep me in their thoughts and prayers. I really want to do better. It is not worth it to have this surgery and be given this wonderful tool if you are going to abuse it.

Put it behind you and start again fresh. Chances are that even though you didn't get sick from that stuff this time, you probably didn't feel 100%. That's what happens to me when I say I "don't get sick." Really what I mean is that I didn't have a full on dumping episode. Anyway, today is a new day. That is what I am trying to tell myself. We can do this together. Remember how good and clean and THIN you feel when you are eating healthy. Keep that in your mind the next time those doritoes call your name. I'll do it with you. I need some help, especially after yesterdays Easter candy binging episode. We all have those days. Don't beat yourself up. Kathy

Kathy, Thank you so much for your kind words. I have done much better today. I went to the Dr. today for my 3 month checkup and I have lost a total of 51lbs by his scale (54 by mine ). It won't be exactly 3 months since surgery until 4/10 so I would like to lose at least 4 more pounds by then. Hope your week is going well, and try to stay away from the Easter candy. I did walk down that aisle at Wal-Mart a few days ago, but I was able to resist buying a bag of Robin Eggs like I do every Easter.
