I am guilty and I feel bad about what I did today...
I am struggling with making good food choices too. And I too want to share ...
I bought a bag of Hershey's nuggets on Tuesday. I was craving and wanting chocolate badly (that time of the month!) and found they had the lowest grams of sugar per serving, which is four pieces. I told myself that I would not have more than four pieces in a day, and that I would keep them in my desk drawer here at work - no problem. WRONG - BIG PROBLEM!
I had 4 within about 3 hours on Tuesday afternoon, between 8 and 10 throughout yesterday, and probably 12 already today. I AM OUT OF CONTROL! And not only do I feel guilty, I feel sick and have since maybe the 8th piece. Why am I doing this to myself??
Right now, as soon as I push 'submit' on this post, I am taking the remainder of the bag to the table where we put snacks to share cuz if I don't, I know I will eat more!

I am embarassed to say this but I am going to anyway ...
There were only 8 pieces left in the bag! I ate around 28 pieces, which is roughly 1300 calories, between Tuesday afternoon and today!
They are on the snack table - away from me now.
I am so disappointed in myself that I feel I am going to cry. I know I have to forgive myself, learn from it, and move on.

Susan and Kim - I think you both have done great with your weight loss! Remember you are only human and as such will never be perfect. But the fact that you realized what you did was not something you want to continue and you took steps to get it in control show that you have learned and changed alot since your weight loss. You know how this made you feel, you know you don't want to feel that way again, and you don't want to set yourself up for re-gain. I applaud what Patrece said about starting over in the next moment rather than the next day. How many times have we all eaten out of control all day after 1 slip? You have both come so far and have much to be proud of. Celebrate that success! And find ways to satisfy your cravings that will work for you and not against you. There are some really great recipes on here and you can make everything from chocolate desserts to savory foods that fit in your plan without blowing you out of the water. Forgive yourselves, plan ahead for next time, and be proud of all you have accomplished on your journies!
Hugs,
Rhonda
