Confession time

Yesterday I bought these cinnamon french toast snacks. Sort of like cereal but bigger pieces. They were so good. I was gonna eat a few and take the rest home. I was driving. I ate the whole bag. I felt so stupid. 600 cal. They were greasy and I got a stomach ache and couldn't eat much the rest of the day. Oi!!! Now Hubby and I keep making jokes about it. I texted him today; "Should I stop by the Dollar General and get a snack?" And he said; "NO NO NO!!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!
I am usually not a binger. More of a grazer. We will chalk this up under mindless eating. less than 30 lbs from my goal. Lets not mess this up!!! LESSON LEARNED!!!

I used to boredom eat and graze/binge.

It takes a lot of self control to break the habit. Well done with the confession, seems your doing well with weight loss.

Good luck with that last 30lbs

Thank you for this topic. I think this is a great place for me to start. Self control is a quality i need to improve. I know I do eat out of boredom and down time. And I know there are foods that I binge on once started. I am making it my goal today to be more mindful. Good lesson for all, sorry for the extra calories and tummy ache, but I appreciate the lesson.. blessings to all

This is a good post for me to read today. I am really wanting to eat the other half of the pizza that I made. It is on a flat out low carb tortilla thingy. So it is really a 1 serving meal. But I ate half and I really am full. It just tasted good. So I will make myself have the self control and save the other half for lunch tomorrow.
It will taste just as good then, and it isn't like I have to eat it now, it will still be there tomorrow.

I have done this countless times..and for me the positive is how sick I feel after..it changes my tune for the rest of the day..I usually increase my water and make better choices but I feel so sick about it and my tummy is always upset.

It is so easy to start eating a snack that comes in a box or bag, and MEAN TO eat just a little. But our brains glaze over, and soon we are saying, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" I simply don't bring anything home from the supermarket that I know would tempt me to overeat. Sometimes I don't even go INTO THE AISLE that has sweets! In a perfect world, we could portion out tiny little bits of yummy snacks, but the world isn't perfect and neither are we! Therefore, avoiding the goodies while shopping is better than expecting self-control AFTER we buy them! Best wishes.
