Let myself down last night, succumbing to temptation I ate a whole pint of Ben and jerry's ice cream by myself. Feeling depressed and losing self-control is no excuse. I gave in and failed myself. The only good that came from it was that I felt so sick afterward. Today I will try even harder and resolve to be stronger. What gets me angry was the whole time I was eating it I knew I was letting myself down and I did it anyway. :( Joe 357/317/220 > Let myself down last night, succumbing to temptation I ate a whole pint of > Ben and jerry's ice cream by myself.

Next time, leave the B&J at the grocery store. Try the individually wrapped treats instead. Amy (who usually only eats someone else's ice cream...)

But I keep telling myself that it's over, I took ownership of it and it won't make me gain back 40 lbs. So let's just carry on strong from here. Joe 357/317+1 pint/220 whew a close call. :) > >> Let myself down last night, succumbing to temptation I ate a whole pint > >> of [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > whew a close call. :) Joe, I've fallen a thousand times since I've started. The only thing that means is that I know a thousand ways to get back on track. And one swallow, even of Ben and Jerry's, will not a fat summer make.

This will not be the last time you succumb, I guarantee it. What will make the biggest difference is the recovery time - will you wallow in self-pity, or will you rid your cupboards of further pitfalls, add a bit of extra exercise in this week, and put it behind you? What was that stuff doing in the house anyways? Best to get rid of all those "trigger" foods. For me, it's not ice cream, but homemade baked goods. SO, I have to limit how often I bake, and how much I bake. > Well, in my opinion, the best thing to do is just pick yourself up and get > back on the wagon, so to speak.

It is far behind me now. I am back on track. > What was that stuff doing in the house anyways? I saw it in the store on sale and I passed it by only to turn around and grab it anyway. My house been pretty sanitized though so I am ok their. :) Joe 357/317/220 >> Let myself down last night, succumbing to temptation I ate a whole pint of >> Ben and jerry's ice cream by myself.

Yes, the ice cream won't make you a failure... the only thing that can do that is if you don't get right back on the wagon. My pitfall lately has been chocolate. Hubby had to give me some for Mother's Day, being that I am the mom of his three kittens, LOL! I downed two bars the first two days. (I love dark chocolate!) But now I'm back to just a square a day *IF* I want it. So far, so good today, no chocolate craving at all. As the good stuff (85% cacao) does have some health benefits, I just can't quite make myself toss it. > What was that stuff doing in the house anyways? Best to get rid of all > those "trigger" foods.

I did bake some low-carb bread last week, and we will probably have a slice with dinner. (Dinner will be a low carb stuffed cabbage soup... in the crockpot now.) It helps that I keep it frozen and in the basement freezer. Out of sight, out of mind!

Do or do not. There is no try. >Let myself down last night, succumbing to temptation I ate a whole pint of >Ben and jerry's ice cream by myself. Feeling depressed and losing [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Joe 357/317/220 You need to just forget about it and move on. Slip-ups happen -- and you'll probably have another now and again; the key is to put it aside and not beat yourself up, but just get right back to your new lifestyle.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I appreciate the support and am full steam ahead again! Joe 357/317/220 |
