Overate 2 days in a row...

Damnit, I've been doing so well with the eating up until now.  Just need to complain a bit..

Yesterday I went to PF Changs and ordered the chicken lettuce cup appetizer for dinner and had a few spoonfuls of sugar snap peas as well.  It really didn't look like it was a lot, but felt so overfull for about an hour afterwards. Was awful!

Today I had a chicken breast for lunch and a few chuncks of watermelon.  Never had a problem with fruit before, but I think eating it with the chicken breast was too much....ow, I'm in pain.

First time I've had chicken breast in months...I don't think I do well with white meat.  Back to the thighs for me. 

I've managed to avoid overeating for 7 months and now 2 days in a row I botch it.  Damn! 

Sorry folks, just felt I needed to whine a little.

Hey Don,

You probably did NOT overeat in terms of calories...seriously. You should be happy that you have decent restriction because sometimes i feel like i can eat a whole watermelon!!!

Dont beat yourself up too much and pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get on with doing things the way you want to!

Hugs,

Michelle

I am not sure if you overate either, but forgive yourself and get back on your path of good healthy eating.  

We all need to whine every once in a while.   WLS is not a cure, it is a tool we all need to use to eat properly.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, guys!  Back to my regular annoyingly chipper self.

Stomach aches make me whiney.

Ya know, it might have been the chicken. I get full on that and FAST! Seriously it's not a one bite I am fine the next I am full thing with me a chicken. It's I have a bite in my mouth and I am full. It might not have been that you over ate, just the chicken reacted with your pouch differently.

Ugh... I have had a hard time with it too..

BUT it is a tool, that we get to use. AND we used to overeat to beat ourselves up. So forgive yourself and just be more conscious!

I'm just going to tack onto this existing thread...

I don't know what it was about yesterday... we had birthday breakfast for the group, and usually I'm good with a few pieces of fruit and back to my desk.

Yesterday...?  No such luck.  I had half a bagel slathered with butter.  Then half a donut.  Then the other half of the donut.  Then the other half of the bagel.  Then a cookie.  Then another cookie.  Then a couple of mini candy bars.  Then some peanuts.

Oh no, I didn't eat anything GOOD yesterday, because I felt like crap from all the junk I ate at the office.  THEN I got home and had a somewhat sensible dinner, followed by an Atkins PB cup.  I think that sent me over the edge.  I felt like **** for the rest of the night...

Today, I'm shooting for "back on track".  Breakfast was half a banana and a small corn muffin.  Lunch is scheduled to be a garden salad with beets, beans, tomato, turkey and a little bit of cheese.  Don't know about dinner, as we are going to a concert tonight, so it will likely be "out" somewhere.

I feel better now that I've put it in writing. 

It's funny, isn't it?  Once you've confessed, it's easier to accept that it was a slip up and not a pattern. 

You are absolved, my son!  Go in peace!
