Christmas was hard!!
I'm eight months tomorrow and things have gone very well for me but Christmaswas tough. It seemed like all I wanted to do was eat things I shouldn't. I ate a few cookies. I ate a small piece of pumpkin pie, nothing sweet or alot of anything but I did eat more than normal. My wife told me I was just beating my self up when we talked about it last night. Today I was fine, pretty much normal. Does anyone else seem to slip occasionally?
Consider yourself lucky to have fought the fight. I am pre-op and am the owner of the bottomless pit and I gorged myself and worst of all is I can't say I enjoyed any of it. Eating to fullness is one of the reasons I want this surgury. I would have rather eat 1/10th of what I actually ate and still felt full. So you had a cookie or a few don't feel bad. Sounds like you did a good job.
I know the feeling. Trapped at the in laws as I write surrounded by all of the goodies. It is very difficult not to just grab things, such as cookies, cinnamon roles, candy, pies etc. I guess u get the idea.
Yesterday I ate a whole cinammon roll. Took little peices all day. 1st real cheating I have done in 11 months.
I figure its okay as long as I get back to normal when i get back home.

I slipped off the wagon and "gorged" on the cakes, cookies and pie as well. Made me feel like crap both physically and mentally. I was at a spinning class last night at the gym and the instructor (who was a frickin' physical fitness monster) said something pretty profound. At least it sounded pretty profound to me.
He told the group - "Christmas is OVER and now it's time to get back on track. We all slipped up but no need to beat ourselves up about it any more. So, SPIN my little sausages, SPIN and clean out all the garbage we put in our bodies over the last week."
I proceeded to work my arse off and later had the biggest dump in my life. Must have worked, huh?
