I accidentally swallowed a jelly bean whole today when i was laughing at a movie.. and i freaked. I threw up...HOWEVER, i stopped myself. I could have kept going.. but i didnt. i am not going to stop at anything until i reach my goal and that is to say goodbye ed forever! =D i've been so serious about it and have been doing well.... Is this a bad thing that i slipped. I have been beating myself up for the past couple hours

NO!NO!NO! RELAX: take a deep breath (w/o any jelly beans in your mouth). It was an honest accident! DON'T beat yourself up. You didn't slip, you learned not to laugh w/ a whole jelly bean in your mouth.
CONGRATS on working SO HARD on kicking ED out of your life, for good, that's awesome news. DO NOT beat yourself up.

So you yakked up a jellybean because you swallowed it whole and it triggered a gag reflex, is that what happened? Or did you not mean to eat it so you freaked out when it went down because it has calories and you thought it might lead to a binge? Either way, it sounds like an accident and not a purge, especially because you DID stop yourself once you started vomiting. It doesn't sound like a slip up to me, so no need to beat yourself up. You're okay. :)

inthblues is right, Freespirit, jellybean accidents do NOT count, it's in the by-laws, Section 5 Paragraph 2 Item 3b clearly states... I'm kidding, but seriously... you may feel like it's a slip because you had guilty-type thoughts afterwards... but that doesn't make it less of an accident, you CHOKED. Nothing can take away the progress you make, even if you have an ACTUAL slip-up, you are still ahead, you are aware, and you're working on yourself, you are still "in the black", VS in the red...

Thanks guys...I still battle with thoughts about my weight.. like i see the weight gain and sometimes i get depressed about it, but on the other hand, deep down inside I KNOW that I NEED IT! and am learning to love ME the way i am.... But it did honestly upset me that i even threw up because i didn't mean to.
