must not get cookie... must not get cookie

I hereby swear I will not get into my (((((boyfriends truck... cause mine was totalled))) in my jammies, and crocks and drive into town and buy a chocolate chunk cookie at tim hortons... evil place... that cookie which would make me sick, but also would  make me feel good... I swear on my band I will respect myself not to fall into my emotional eating pattern... not tonight... i have had an emotional evening... and nothing is making me feel better... in my head a big cookie would work, but only momentarily and i would feel worse afterwards...

resisting the emotional eating patterns of my past... in light of my stress of the day... it is so hard.

I am going to climb under my covers and drift away... and will proudly report my cookie abstainance... when I arrive home from work tomorrow afternoon!

Night all

Kathy-
Nice job! Emotional eating is so hard to overcome. If you gotta have somethin to beat the craving have a little ff choc pudding or lite hot choc, but what really gets me out of a bad day is a hard workout...makes life better for me.
Will wait for your success report tomorrow.

I hear ya, Kathy - all the way out here on Vancouver Island!!.  I used to hit Tim's drive-thru several times a week, and it was my fave place to go on weekend mornings for a breakfast sandwich (they are evil, those breakfast sausages!).  And I distinctly remember a night about 2 years ago when I got out of bed, put a long coat over my jammies and drove 15 minutes to buy a half-dozen donuts which I then proceeded to eat in the 15 minutes it took me to drive back home.  Um, does the word ADDICT apply here perhaps???

But since being banded I've done the drive-thru maybe 3 times, always for coffee only, and the last time I went (about 2 weeks ago), the decaf tasted like crap, so I am officially cured!!  (my Keurig 1-cup coffee maker does a much better and cheaper job).

I am glad you were able to resist the lure of Tim's tonight.  I gave up all sugar & high glycemic carbs a month before being banded and no longer crave that junk.  It really works for me.  If you can get through the "detox", the siren call of Tim Horton's is something you no longer hear.

I LOVE MY BAND!!

Good Job !!!! im having the once a month cravings going on and they have been dreadful these past two days :o(

Im really really trying to avoid the cravings cause I have to weigh in at the docs on Mondays and with me only losing 2.5 pounds in four weeks the last thing I need to do is my monthly oinky *sigh*.  I hate periods lmao.

Hope things get better for you tomorrow !!!

 Wow! U r a true inspiration! Way to go!!!

LMAO I have gone out in my pajamas and crocs to dairy queen to grab a blizzard before!!  On a serious note the fact that you were able to quickly  realize the reason for your craving and not give into the craving is amazing!!  I've read over and over that they don't band our heads (although I wish they could) because like you, it's all emotional eating for me too.  Keep up the good work, Karianne

Days like that are made for the gym...of course you wake up with mornings like this... (Im a bit sore) but the cookies were safe for the moment. 

Swoosh

I have the same problems. lol Temptation it can be hard to fight them off.

I can gladly report... I did resist... and today is better. This is my treat day, so Im glad it will be guilt free. It is planned, and not a reaction to emotional upheaval or stress... so I am going out for dinner and will maybe have a treat if I feel like it.

Thanks everyone for your support... im so glad to have posted and made myself accountable~!

Kathy

I'm late getting back to check up on you, but wanted you to know that I did...lol. Good Job!!!
