I totally went of my diet last night. I have been doing so good losing the weight the surgeon wants me to lose before surgery. But last night I ate potato chips and a klondike bar. Compared to my pig outs of the past this comparitively wasnt bad but it felt like a huge step backwards for me. I wasnt even hungry! It had been a long hot busy frustrating week and I think I ate out of boredom and stress.

So today I am going to dust myself off and move on!!!

Too hot out to take a walk (103 in Philadelphia today) but I have a lot of housework to help me burn calories today!

Hey, if we could be perfect at this we wouldn't need the surgery, right?

Sounds like you have a good handle on what happened and a great attitude about getting back on track. Dealing with our emotional eating issues is the hardest part of the deal. Recognizing it is a problem is a major step!!

Don't beat yourself up!!!! I have done the same thing. Its hard and sometimes we will fall off the wagon. Sometimes that sweet tooth just won't go away, I know been there, dealt with it (YeS cheated :) and you just have to move on and say next time, "am I really hungry or why am I eating?"
You can do this just remember like the post before me, we are perfect and if we were we wouldn't need this surg.
Love ya girl!!! Keep your head up :)

It happens to the best of us. Be kind to yourself. I think you have the right attitude. Start again now and do the best you can. You have been doing great and you are!!! Be happy with the little accomplishments. Smile and be well!!

Remember its one day, we all done it before. I always tell myself baby steps and one day at a time :)

You are allowed to be human! You have a good handle on things and I'm confident you will be on the right track now. You got this!

Thank you for the kind and encouraging comments. I felt like I needed to confess - take ownership and move on. I had a really good day today!
