I feel so fat after this weekend! I realized I could eat ritz crackers that I put with my cran apple chicken salad it's not a lot of crackers but still crackers are carbs and I try to avoid them. Then this morning I made the kids blue berry muffins and I ate 1/2 of one they are like mini muffins lol I feel like such a failure after this weekend I know it's cause my hubby isn't here and I'm bored and missing him but three more days and he comes home! I can't wait!! No more carbs starting tomorrow with the exception of milk in my protein lol Happy Mothers Day everyone!

Sorry your weekend has been rough!! It happens....

What I always told my weight watcher buddies... you have a couple options, you can keep laying in the dirt, under the wagon.... or you can brush off the crumbs and climb back on... ;)

Forgive yourself, learn from it and move on!! And sounds like you are!! Good for you for coming here and 'fessing up' :)

We all have our moments. Don't beat yourself up, just move forward. I have had a few reduced fat wheat thins here and there to go with a wedge of laughing cow cheese. I don't feel bad afterwards, just might walk a little farther.
Some people cut out carbs completely, others allow them into their diet..I allow myself an occasional carb. It's a personal decision, there's no right or wrong :)

Thanks guys I just felt so guilty lol really the only carbs I get in daily is milk because I want the vitamin d everything else I can cut carbs and be fine I need to get back in track tomorrow though because I'm not at goal and have been in such a funk haven't lost anything in a while I'm down 65 pounds and its been 5 months but I still have 25 more to go for my goal....

Tomorrow will be a better... on track day! I just know it :)

Oh Mora - we all have our days. No harm done. Pick yourself up and start over tomorrow!!

Don't beat yourself up...I don't think Ritz crackers are that bad as crackers go...

My nut doesn't advise carbs, but she doesn't say I can't have any... She says I can't eat enough to let them do that much damage at this point... I don't eat many of them at all, but I have a bite of carbs here and there.. Kind of kills the craving and lets me move on til tomorrow..

Just pick back up in the morning, and all will be well...

My doctor said that I was allowed to have carbs just dont go over 80 a day and I dont get that many carbs in a day. I do watch my carbs very closely and my doctor said mainly watch the calories and fat.

Like getting thrown off a horse, get up and get back on! Every time I mess up and make myself sick I think about it next time that temptation comes around.

Guilt is a wasted emotion.. Life after wls will have it's bumps in the road you just have to get back on the horse and do your best. I try to eat minimal carbs but, if I decide to have some I always read the nut label on the package and decide what the carb, calorie per serving content is and most importantly what A SERVING consist of....and try to stick with it. It is alway an eye-opener for me to see the quantity of product that constitutes a "serving". d

I am understand!! This pass week I attend a conference. I enjoyed a cookie. I had Gastric Sleeve so I do not dump. However, the cookie was very good. I back on track today. I do not eat many carbs, for me a cookie every once in a while is not going to hurt you. Of course, if u have an hard time just eating one cookie. I encouraged you not to eat that certain food. We cannot go through life and believe we not going to get off track every once in a while. We are only human!! Just get back on track!! You will do fine!!
