Srewed Up Bad On Thanksgiving, Depressed!



Recommended Posts

I'm disappointed in myself and I'm terrified to weigh myself after yesterday. I haven't had that many calories since before I had the surgery. Smh

It's ok. Dust yourself off and jump back on. Can't change the past but you can forge the future !

Don't weigh yourself today....do it in a few days. Can't change what you ate yesterday. The only thing you can do is remember how you feel today and not make the same mistake.

But just think, last Thanksgiving you probably didn't even think about how many calories you ate.....baby steps!

shake yourself off and move on. We all have bad days. This was yours. Just remember how you feel today for Christmas.

One day won't matter to much in the scheme of things. Just dust yourself off and start again today :)

Totally agree, you did not get fat eating at one meal. Just be aware for the next time. Best wishes, Karen

Get back on track, today. Go back to Protein shakes Breakfast and lunch, a dinner salad with a broiled chicken breast, oil/vinegar for today and tomorrow. You will be back where you left off.

Best wishes

If I was to drink my calories for two days it would just make be hungry . My advice is to just get back on track. It is just one day and try to amp up your exercise to burn those calories. You will be fine.

So you learned something about yourself. No harm in the long run. Just return to the basics and bolster you reserved for the next holiday. You need to focus and serving sizes and chewing. The people around you will gorge, but as long as you eating by your rules, you are OK. Hope things get better next time this sort of event comes along. Don't weigh right away, you will only further torture yourself. You know what you did wrong, now stop and move forward!

I can relate. I didn't do well either.. Too much salt and carbs. Very disappointed in myself and go in for a fill on Monday. With all the stories of people not succeeding with the band, my eating yesterday scared me. It wasn't volume, it was what it was and grazing. Bad, bad!

It taskes more then one meal to gain weight. Gather the leason you learned and prepare for Christmas and get your fills before then...it was a life saver for me I couldn't eat more then a few bits cause the turkey/stuffing got stuck for a long time....the right fills is the answer for me...I had to thank my band for a job well done.....If you were the cook get rid of the food.< /p>

It's one day, really, it's not a big deal. I know I ate a ton more calories than I normally do. Heck, I had a piece of pie at 8pm last night even. But honestly? I don't care. I have been doing this long enough to know if I have a "freebie day" once in awhile, it's not going to effect me. In fact, I personally think they're necessary once in awhile so you don't feel deprived.

I ate a bunch of candy on Halloween. I had all the fatty, high calories stuff of Thanksgiving yesterday. I'll have Cookies and treats on Christmas.

But the day after, I'm right back on track always. In fact right now I'm eating a salad for lunch made out of leftover turkey. I'm counting calories and leaving yesterday as a nice memory.

Don't sweat it, just be on track again today :)

I kind of look up to you. So to see that even you have a day sometimes. It makes me feel like I'm not a loser. I didn't do to bad...but I definitely didn't count calories. Thanks so much for being you.

Drank two virgin Bloody Mary's yesterday and stood on my feet for two days cooking, lots of sodium and Water retention. Hoping it goes away.

Think like a thin person. If you were thin...and I don't mean those pesky people who can eat whatever without gaining an ounce... I mean the thin person who tries hard to stay that way.... If she pigged out yesterday she wouldn't do it again for a while... Even if the scale didn't move upwards. On the other hand ... a fat person who pigged out yesterday and didn't see the scale move would continue to eat that way and eventually forget about the scale. That's the difference.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
