Merry Christmas everyone.

Im 5 months out and today i had a tiny piece of sweet potato pie i feel fine but i do feel guilty and right after i ate it told my mom i dont plan to eat anything like that for a long time. Because i just hate the guilt i felt after eating it even though it was such a small piece

We all have something along the journey. As long as you don't have it everyday and it is a small portion you will be fine.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Was it yummy? Was it a one (or two) time thing just for the holidays? Can you go take a long walk to work it off?

No biggie! Let go of the guilt. You enjoyed it, your stomach is healed, you took a controlled piece. Much better than you would have done in previous years, right?

Perfect! No room for guilt. Don't let food rule your brain in such a negative way. YOU are in charge, pie isn't.

Needed to see this... The other day I had a piece of my favorite candy. Pulparindo extra hot and salted tamarind with chile mmmMM... but I felt guilty. I cycled an extra hour for it lol.

I, too, have to always work on: Letting. It. Go.

Just be careful because eating sugar tends to make you crave more which can start to really snowball into a vicious cycle of cravings.

Everyone has a few times in their journey. STOP stressing or feeling guilty. Life happens but just like was said you CONTROL yourself, not any FOOD> I hope you all had a great CHRISTMAS with all of your loved ones. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

Don't feel guilty! Looks like your sticking to plan 99% of the time! As am I.. I no longer feel guilty if I want something I plan it out work it off and go about my day. I'm down 100 lbs since my first consultation in July, was sleeved in august and have reached my surgeons goal. Still want to reach my goal though .. 20 more lbs to go!

I had a small slice of pumpkin pie today, and I felt NO GUILT AT ALL! Do you know why? It was because this is a lifetime change, not a daily grind. Yeah, we have to pay attention day by day, but we can also let loose on our restrictions for a single instance now and then, because we are human.

Tomorrow it will be back to lots of Protein, little carbs, and working out. In the meantime , I was able to relax and enjoy the day. I hope you can do the same.

Exactly.... it's Christmas.

You don't stop living your life.

You have a plan for weight loss... it won't be the last time you have something.

We just can't overdue it.

Protein... work out.... all good.

Do an extra half hour on the treadmill tomorrow..

.

I had paper-thin slices of pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, guava flan and tiramisu cake. I am proud as all hell and my mouth is kissing me all over for such amazing-tasting things. We are happy and tomorrow is another day.

P.S. We're also sugared out for quite a while to come. In packing up the mandatory care package, we omitted sweets.

It's a life style not s life sentence.

I planned my day knowing I would have a dessert. I had 2 bites of a brownie and a peanut butter blossom. I don't feel bad at all. I didn't get fat in a single day and one day a few times a year isn't going to derail me.

The most important part here is that you are healed at this point. So much different than newly post op people who are risking damage to eat off plan.
