Boy do I feel guilty. I've been so good for 4 months and stayed on program... until today! I offered to make Halloween cut out cookies with my 3.5 year old granddaughter. We had a great time, but I ended up eating 3 large ones, which snowballed into left over pizza. ugh....

I have learned my lesson, NO cookies or pizza in the house at all and I will get back on track tomorrow, but I wonder how I could lose control so easily.

Just a wild guess on how you could do such a horrible, horrible thing...

You're human. And I'd bet you make killer cookies. And you got caught up in the moment.

And you are getting right back on the horse. THIS is the lesson.

We should all screw up once in 4 months.

You will be OK,

I was going to say something, but...

That hits the nail on the head. You realize you made a mistake and you're taking care of it. You're a human. It's okay to screw up once in a while, even more so since you've acknowledged it and are willing to keep trying.

Physically, how did you feel after eating the cookies and pizza? I would have felt sick. I still can't handle too many sweet today. I get a queasy feeling.

Hi,

I'm pre-op so no advice here lol. Just a question. Did you have trouble afterwards? Dumping?

You are going to have days like this, but you recognized it. I quit smoking 10 years ago, I've a a few since then but it always reminds me why I quit. I am also curious to know how you felt afterwards. I do plan to make a slice of pizza or a cookie a planned part of my diet. I hope I can eat them.

I think thats just part of having grandchildren. Great memories, and fun for them. Now get back in there, and wait for Christmas to slip up again.

It was spread out during the day so not all at once. I felt full. It was the first time I'd had sweets, no problem.

I'm sleeved and don't get dumping.

I agree with the 'first time in 4 months' person that said - :ha, we should all be so good to only slip up or go off the plan 1x every 4 months!" Enjoy your grandkiddos and celebrate how much good you have done for yourself and what you learned through this one.
Best wishes to you!!
