I was bad today :(



Recommended Posts

OMG! I totally did a complete NO NO today! I am normally so good about eating, but not today apparently. I was out and about running errands with my husband and youngest today and ate a late Breakfast. well it was well past lunch time and neither one of us had eaten, but my son ate before we left the house. So my husband thinks he wants Taco Bell! I said No i don't want anything, i will wait until we get home. Yeah right! I got a burrito and ate it all! oh i am full, not thanksgiving full, but full. i can't believe it ate that. i didn't have any problems with it going down either. Yikes! think i might need a fill thursday when i go in. I am kicking myself thinking wth was i thinking eating taco bell! LOL :)

In the perspective of things..it's not a big deal, especially considering you had been running errands all day (burning calories) and you hadn't eaten anything previously...

Just from my personal experiences, getting into the mindset of good food and bad food, and finding some foods to be "taboo" is extremely unhealthy. Sure maybe Taco Bell isn't the most nutritious food choice, but a calorie is a calorie, and as long as you didn't overeat today calorie wise..you won't gain a pound.

Taco Bell burritos are really a good choice if you're going to eat fast food. You didn't say which one you had but the worst one on the menu has 540 calories and 26 grams of fat. All of them are high in Protein and Fiber. Quit kicking yourself. Life happens and sometimes you have to eat things you wouldn't normally. It's OK. I went to Taco Bell for lunch today, too. I had pintos and cheese. 170 calories, 6 grams of fat and 9 grams of protein!

Yes. Taco Bell is my favorite fast food. I always get the pintos and cheese (170 calories like Cindy C said) and a fresco crunchy taco (150). So I get a super yummy meal for like 320 calories and lots of Protein and fiber. You should try it next time the hubby wants it :)

But like they said, don't beat yourself up over it. Everybody has off days. Just get back on it tomorrow. :)

You're doing awesome!

Like Cindy and MLR, I have been getting pintos and cheese when my husband is dying for one of their 5 layer burritos. I am glad to get the info on it. I thought it might be a fairly decent choice because of the Protein.

Don't beat yourself up......you are doing great.....I appreciate all of the posts you make.

All the best,

Melinda

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
