Stop being a troll on this thread. Yes troll. You don't need to put yourself in charge of people's responses.

You are seriously devaluing the information on this thread by chasing around anyone who doesn't respond whatever why you think is *right*.

Your childish reaction this is what is making people not want to respond.

Hopefully you'll block me, but I'm okay either way. See I don't block people because I'm okay with different points of view. Obviously you aren't.

Fly away gadfly.

 Agree with the above.  You are building a very dangerous behavoir set right now.  You are giving into emotional eating, and rationalizing.

I'm moderating.
I Deserve It.
I am rewarding Myself.
Just a little bit won't hurt.

If you think back, you probably said those same things when you would swallow a whole pizza or bowl of pasta befre WLS.  Thats why this is so dangerous, at only 3 months out you are already setting yourself up for failure and justifying it.  You even seem a bit proud and defiant over it - "Non ones going to tell me that I can't have it".

Instead of giving into the compulsion to eat something like that, you need to get to the root of WHY you want it in the first place.  When you feel that compulsion to eat something, stop and reaaly question yourself as to WHY you want it.  Why do you need it to fill an emotional need?  Let yourself feel the real emotions and deal with those rather than feeding them.

Also rationalize what you are doing.  You had 280 calories.  On your diet that may not be alot, on mine its half a days food.  What did you get for those 280 calories?  How much protein?  What came along for the ride, how much fat and carbs?

There is plenty of time when you get to maintenance that you can splurge on little induigences.  Thats when its time for moderation.  You have a golden opportunity right now to change the habits of a lifetime.  Don't waste it.

Now I fully expect a chorus of "That works for you, thats not what works for me".

The girl had a half of breakfast sandwich TODAY....I can see if she said she was having it everyday ..Hang her to the cross...Quick its all down hill for her now..I think she should call a counsler real quick b4 she gains all her weight back and ends up a failure.Why is it when someone on here decides t eat something that someone else dosent agree with or WOULDN'T eat it.The person who did eat it is always WRONG! What the hell.Give the damn girl a break

 Why is this such an emotional issue for you?  No one is attacking.  When you post anything on here you get what you get.  If you want nothing but praise for eating McDonalds, post to a McDonalds forum.

Support does not mean agreement.

The truth is, eating something like this is not good during WLS.  The things that she said are clearly indicative of compulsive, emotional eating.  Yes, she does need some form of counseling to deal with that.  That could be a support group, or it could be one on one counseling.

Everybody on here wants her to succeed.  No one wants to destroy her.  But Honesty is key.  Honesty with each other and most of all honesty with ourselves.

I'm not even the one who ate the damn bagel and me personally I won't eat a bagel because of its high carb count.But that's jut me.But who am I to tell anyone what they can and can't do. Its an emmotional issue for me because its NOT what you or anyone else posted on here is wrong or right.Its just sometimes the way people say them.Like the woman saying she only posted it because she wanted to see how mny hits she could get.That's what pissed me off..So I apologize to you for comeing across as a ***** because that I'm not its just if she can't come here and say what she feels without a rude comment like that then where can she go?I don't even know the darn girl lol Do you understand my point of why I'm soo upset??

And you have the absolute truth for everyone?

 Your missing the point that she is justifying why she can have it .. not that she ate one TODAY.  She isnt saying oops i screwed up.. ill have to be more careful from now on.  She is telling herself its ok and that is clearly not how people at goal recommend we think about food.

There are people at goal who believe in moderation. They may not post as much and they get drowned out by the frequent posters but they are here. There are people at goal who say they don't believe anything is off limits. The only thing the "statistics" here are gauged on are who sticks around and who is vocal so those are skewed.
