I have had a HORRIBLE day...I have been having cravings REALLY bad...then I drove 45 miles home to then go to a meeting 30 miles further to only discover the meeting isn't this evening...it's next Tuesday!!! I was so aggravated with myself for not removing it from my calendar and waiting 60 miles worth of gas, I reverted to old ways and driver thru Steak 'n Shake and got a double cheeseburger with K, M and Extra P!! And that isn't all....I also got a double chocolate fudge shake!! I ate about 1/2 the burger and ate it too fast and it got stuck!! So after slimming and spitting and hurting for about 10 minutes, I finished eating it and drank the shake!! I so freaking MAD and DISGUSTED with myself, I can hardly stand it!!

This is just one little bump in your road. You're entitled to these little hiccups. Tomorrow is a different day and you can get back at it.

I am trying to figure out how you got all that in your sleeve/bypass or band? don't see which one you have had....

Sorry....did not read enough about you....So glad you did not do any of that with a fresh surgery...Dang girl...Talk about hurt...

We all have times before , during and after we have surgery to learn what is our triggers that make us want to eat.....You just found one of yours...Maybe keep a Protein bar in your car. Or some nuts that you enjoy....

Ohio, now you know what NOT to do. You also learned that frustrating situations can make you revert to old habits. Use this knowledge to your advantage and try to prepare yourself for potential frustrating situations. You can make an emergency pak for such situations in the future. Include items such as old pictures, a quest bar, or some other yummy but healthy snack thing, include a list of your goals and pics of outfits you want to wear. Rather than be mad take this opportunity to grow in wisdom. You can be frustrated or even down right livid and still keep your goals in sight. Best wishes, Lauren

Thanks guys...I am literally in tears thinking about what I did...thanks for the advice

The road to success is not a straight path.... There are many curves, twists, and turns along the way. I made two copies of blank calendars for each month.... One is marked "Food Plan" and the other is marked "Exercise." I'm visual, so bare with me....... I actually draw a SMILEY FACE on each and every day that I follow and meet my "Food Plan" goals and"Exercise" goals. On days that I don't, I leave it blank (I thought about drawing a "sad" face, but decided against that to keep it more upbeat.) I have smiley faces on about 90% of the days.... And I'm great with that. I'll have 15-18 days of smiley faces in a row, and a day or two with a blank space, followed by another string of smiley faces. The point ------- I'm going to not always be 100% perfect; I'm just not. QUIT BEATING YOURSELF UP..... It's a bump, a curve, a NO SMILEY FACE DAY! You've got this!!!!

Thanks Healthy!! That actually made me smile!!

Was today the bad eating day? I was so bad today also. Tomorrow is a new day. I had too many wonderful hand cut fries, a few bites of cake and some ribs after I ate dinner.

Have a great Thursday

Next time just get a kids meal. . (I did that last week, and called it portion control). Tomorrows come every day! Don't beat yourself up over it.

I love the idea that Healthy gave. It shows we are human and it builds on our successes.
