Don't beat yourself up too much. Half the battle is recognizing what was ingested and what must be done to compensate for that. Wake up tomorrow and start the new day without the guilt. Good luck!

The best thing to do is realize that you made a mistake and not just think "well screw it, I've already wasted this whole day" and keep going....get right back on track. That was a hard, hard lesson for me to learn!

As long as you eat right 90% of the time. Think of it as shaking up your metabolism... As long as you don't do it often.

That's too funny we too have a Johnny Rockets by our local theater, small world. I admit I love popcorn too so what me and my husband do is get the small, I get a box put a small amount in it and when Im done Im done, Believe me it was trial and error on that too. Good luck

i always eat a small popcorn with layered butter at the movies - i average 1-2 movies per month - i sometimes can eat the whole bag sometimes only about half. It's my big cheat/splurge. I don't think twice about it - it may have barely slowed my weight loss but i doubt it and i'm happy with the pace i'm losing. Shaking up the metabolism is a good thing - i've learned that through this process.

Okay don't take this as being mean spirited. In the future plan to buy a hamburger no bun or fries and eat it while your daughter eats. I find the best defense against temptation is a plan. I'm sure you thought to yourself "I'm not going to eat anything this place is unhealthy." But by not ordering something you were tempted to eat bad choices. I have a friend that managed a fancy bistro. Mothers would come in buy really unhealty food for their kids and a green salad no dressing for themselves. The mother would eat all the kid's food and leave their salad. I'm sure their mentality was "I ordered a salad" yeah but they ate nachos and fried chicken fingers too.

I think you have to cheat once and awhile or it will drive you crazy.. just have to make sure it isn't everyday

I don't think of it as cheating! I believe its living, I believe that we need to start thinking like skinny people. They eat that stuff, they just moderate it. Just don't do it all the time. I allow myself junk, every now and again. HOWEVER, word to the wize, if its a trigger food, avoid it, cause thats a slippery slope! lol

Glad you caught yourself, enjoyed yourself, and now back to the bandwagon!

In my book, there is never a cheat. My band is for life. My eating habits are for life. I am not on a diet. I eat small portions. I make good choices most of the time. I enjoy foods that aren't so healthy some of the time.

My healthier choices happen far more than my less healthy choices. It is all about balance and moderation.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
