So I sm such a rules follower....and I just indulged in ONE of my sons "nerds" and I feel guilty about it!

I guess it's good that you feel guilty about it. If you didn't feel guilt you'd be more likely to keep up the behavior.

Are you serious? One "nerd"? Aren't they literally the size of a crumb? Don't beat yourself up. I don't think it affected your weight loss in anyway. You're doing just fine!

Lol....yes I know I'm dramatic! I really have not done or tried one single thing that is not on the program so I was like..."why'd you do that? Do not go back to that place!"

Lolz one nerd is nothing. It disappear in your mouth.

Funny, but I understand! I just had to have a chocolate chip and dab of dough when making Cookies for the kids today. We have to remember that just having a taste now is way better than we did before. Don't beat yourself up!

Ok...confession. I feel so guilty. Tonight I got a dab of chocolate icing from the fridge and ate it (or let it dissolve in my mouth - I'm still on liquids). I'm two weeks and two days post op.

Ummm in dealing with a therapist who specializes in self image and weight issues pre and post op...she has taught me a few things. For me things were black and white....I was on a diet...I was all in and if I did something off plan, I considered it a full fail. She taught me that life isn't black and white...there is some grey in there and I need to cut myself some slack. Basically if I was on a diet and had one piece of chocolate to not mock, or ridicule myself for it and to stop beating myself up. Learn from it, it was actually in moderation so I did no wrong and move on.

taking a little nerd or touch of frosting isn't the end of a good run on eating right...just think of prior to eating right what you would have done and be proud of yourself for ONLY taking such a small amount!
