Sonic placed a curse on me..and won



Recommended Posts

After spending time on the board off and on all day (and feeling upset because I havent lost any weight in 2 weeks) I thought I would go to Sonic and get a small bite to satisfy my crazings.

Last time I went out to eat was 2 weeks ago and I was stuffed with half a sandwich. Not today. I ate a whole burger and small fries.

Am I wrong in doing so? YES. Will this help me break my stall?? NO. I wanted flavors that I havent tasted in 7 weeks but should have gone with someone and only had a few bites.

I am not going to beat myself up for this cuz I know that will just make things worse instead of better.

Don't beat yourself up. It is new to us and we can't just stop everything that we are used to doing. Things happen and as long as you are doing the right thing most of the time then you should not be too hard on yourself when you slip up a little bit. I think it is really hard to go from eating all of the bad stuff to being on liguids and so on and it seems a little normal that you would want something that you have not been able to have in a while. People can tell you that they don't eat anything that they are not supposed to have and if that is true for everyone than why did we need the surgery to being with? We needed some help and as long as we do our best and only give into our not so good for us stuff once in a while then we are still doing better than before the surgery.

I'm not sure how far along in the process you are but one time of eating something bad is not going to ruin it for you. You just learn from it and if it happens again then you tell yourself that you will get a kids meal or only eat half of whatever it is that you really want. We can not deprive ourselves of everything and it will take time for us to learn how to control the cravings and the weakness for what we are so used to eating. I'm new to all of this and I know that there are going to be times that I will want something so bad that I am going to eat it and not feel guilty about it. I'm going to try to reward myself with something special for every 10 pounds that I lose and that way it will give me something to look forward to but then after seeing how hard it was to lose the 10 pounds, it might make me think twice about what I will allow myself to eat and how much of it I will be willing to eat without feeling guilty or thinking that it just isn't worth it.

Good luck and try not to feel so bad about that Sonic moment of weakness!!!

I completely understand. About a month ago I craved Sonic chili cheese tots. I ate them and enjoyed them and moved on and I have kept losing weight and haven't cheated again. I think that is the key..at least for me. I know I am going to make mistakes but unlike in the past I am not going to beat myself up. I just know that I am human and sometimes I will eat something I shouldn't. It's ok.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
