Lack of Self Control...a work in progress

Ever find yourself in this situation.... I was standing in the kitchen yesterday. I had made No Pudge- Non Fat brownies a few days ago and there was one left.
 
I wanted to throw it in the garbage but instead grabbed it. The internal dialogue had already kicked in at this point. Still, I grabbed a can of frosting that was in the fridge, dipped and went for it. I was on my second bite thinking "throw it away, you don't need this. But it's so good. But it's so bad! But it would be a waste" Gulp, I had the entire thing down in 4 bites. I was ashamed of myself of my lack of control... I wanted to toss it but couldn't bring myself to do it.

I am not making my good decisions. I'm not getting in all my water. I'm slipping and I have to get back in control of my situation. I can't wait to move back to the city and get in some therapy. I need help.

Tiff, I am right there with you, girly.  I am so sorry.......addictions are very hard to deal with.  I need to look in to therapy, as well.  (((HUGS)))

I can relate so well.  I keep a small bag of m&ms'  and they last 1 week to 1 month depending on how things are going.  They have only been lasting a week.  Time to stop buying them.  I too am off track.  Finding it hard to get back on schedule.  I find a scedule is the best way.  My husband is also trying to lose weight.  So brownies and such don't come into the house.  He doesn't even know about the m&ms. lol  I wish you all the success on this journey.

I used to buy licorice every once in a while. A package would last me a week. They were just little treats. But I recently went through an entire package in a day. I used to have 1 mocha a day and I found myself with my 4th in hand last week.  thats 4 in a single day...  I worked it out. 480 calories and 116 grams of sugar in a single freaking day. Thats a 1/3 of my food goal...wasted on liquids. UGH!

I've got a sugar addiction that must be curbed.

Hey, Tiff,

I have no self control right now either.  I put 9 almonds on my plate yesterday and put the bag away.  Then I got up and got the bag and put another 9 almonds on my plate and put the bag away.  Then I got up and got the bag and ate the whole rest of the bag!  Probably 1000 calories right there.  I am in a holding pattern right now.  I am waiting until after vacation to take this thing in hand (thing=me!?).  We are leaving in 10 days for 2 weeks in Maui.  My band will keep me from gaining 15 lbs but when I get back I need to get back on the loser's bench.

I am with you also! I know I am pregnant with weird cravings but I DO NOT need to be ating so much sugary processed foods!! So lent is next week and I am giving up ALL sugar!!! By the time Lent is over the baby will be just about due and I will be ready to get back to my old self!
Good idea about the therapy I think I will start my research and make an appointment for right after the baby is due!

I am reading this book, "Does this clutter make my butt look big" . something like that, it's really interesting..

I am going thru the same thing ... ugh

Tiff - I feel the same way!!

2 weeks ago, I hit 100 lbs lost.

Last week, I lost 4 in one week.... I was feeling GREAT!!  The motivation to succeed was there again, and I wa****ting the gym 5 days a week, working my butt off... doing SO WELL....

Then the Girl Scout cookies came in....

I ate a whole box of Tagalongs (peanut butter/chocolate) between Friday and Saturday...

Then another 10 of them yesterday.... in one sitting.  Mind you, there are only 15 in the box.

Today's a new day and I've realized that Ive been spiraling out of control since Friday, and I WILL NOT let it get the best of me.  I  WILL make concious decisions today...   one bite at a time.

Hang in there girlie!

Thank you Tiff for posting this!!

I was craving pizza so bad last night that I thought...I'll order a salad pizza slice and just eat the veggies. By the time I get to the bread, I'll be full. So I ordered the salad slice for me and a regular slice "for my hubby" (that's what I told myself). Well you know I ate the regular slice and hardly touched the salad slice. My hubby decided to get Chinese so he didn't care that I ate "his slice"...which was in reality my slice to begin with. Then to top it all off, a bit later I had a couple bites of his Chinese (he had the bad stuff...egg roll, fried chicken, and pork fried rice)!!! I have to gain control and deal with my addiction head on. I got up super early this morning and worked out like a maniac to help rid myself of the extra calories and guilt.

I thought I could do it myself but thanks for helping me realize I need some other type of intervention!

I'm on this journey... the good, the bad and the ugly truth.

There have been times that I have literally been on top of the mountain and feeling on top of the world and other times I've been standing in the kitchen making terrible mistakes and thinking what have I done to myself. The head games I play with myself...
