So yesterday I baked a cake. It so happens (unfortunately) that I am very good at baking!

This morning, half the cake was left on the unit.

I wasn't hungry.
I didn't actually want the cake, so not even head hunger.
I didn't crave anything!
I wasn't feeling down, depressed, pre-menstrual.
I simply did not want any cake! I had no desire for cake! I had no interest in cake!

So I ate a slice! WHY????
I didn't get any pleasure out of it!
And now I feel a bit sick!

There is no pleasure in any of that! No anticipation, no enjoyment as I ate it and now I feel unwell!

Why on earth do we do these things? (Rhetorical!!)

Kate,

Your new avatar shows how slim you are but...I want to see you smiling!

As for your cake mistake, I can only quote my good friend Kate: SILLY COW!

Here, I'll help you feel better-

Yesterday I baked some homemade oatmeal walnut raisin cookies, and I ate nearly 8 of them (Sampled the dough as well.) Like you, I never do stuff like that and I have been very disciplined. Something came over me and I indulged to the point that I was so upset with myself. Well, today is a new day. I am going to walk and hopefully burn off some of those calories I ate yesterday. The only thing I can say is that, like all addicts, we are going to slip up and binge on occasion. At least we aren't doing it every day like we used to prior to the band. Let's move forward and not dwell on our stupid mistakes and keep the

and cookies out of the house!

Don't know about you, Kate, but pre-band I would NEVER have eaten 1 slice of cake. I'd have eaten the ENTIRE THING!!!! So you ate a slice and then felt sick - yay! One slice of cake, one episode of mindless eating, does not a catastrophe make. You acknowledge it, slap yourself upside the head (gently), and wake up to a brand new day tomorrow with the knowledge that you're human.
