StupidStupidStupid!!!

[Laceylyn1031]

I cheated Saturday! I dont know what came over me!!!!! TOM is coming up, thats all I can think of, but I was doing soooooo good. I took Sunday and today to detox and drink all the water I possibly can. Im so mad at myself!! Let this be a lesson to me!! I dont want to go back to feeling horrible and discusting and tired all the time so Im picking myself up, dusting myself off and moving on.

You're human. It's OK. Just get right back on. What isn't OK is when you allow a slip up to avalanche into days, weeks, or months of being off plan. The next bite must be legal. You're gonna be OK.

Re: StupidStupidStupid!!!

I would say don't feel bad - but actually, you should feel bad. HORRIBLE, I tell ya! The worse you feel about it, the less likely you are to do it again. I had cake on Friday, and immediately after eating it, I felt so tired, and groggy from my sugar high, and completely guilty for being stupid. It's kept me back on track, and so far, I just remind myself of how crummy I felt for doing that, and it's not worth it.

Now just stick with it. TOM is nasty on your cravings, but it doesn't own you. Try taking a bath instead of a snack. HANG IN THERE!

Laceylyn1031, hon, don't beat yourself up. I know it's hard and I also know that you've done this before (success) and you WILL do it again. I would like you to read this post, read everything she said:

Also, what did you cheat on. Was it really bad, a little bad, maybe it's something we can divert next time with a homemade substitute!! I know you feel bad, but remember, don't look back, always forward!!! I believe you can d this, I know deep down inside you do too.

The reason for wanting you to read Heidi's post is that she made some comments about cheating, and beating herself up over it, just take a look, we'll get ya headed down the right path sweetie! Chin up!

Re: StupidStupidStupid!!!

I'm glad you caught yourself! I did that with a meal not so long ago, so I know. Know we're here for you the next time--let us know if you get the urge again, and we will stop you before.

Re: StupidStupidStupid!!!

I agree with the others. I'm glad you jumped back on and didn't let it lead to an excuse to continue cheating for the rest of the day/week/year! lol

The other day I had to eat on the go. I got a burger and fries. ack! I took off the top bun so I only ate the bottom one and had some of the fries. I hated myself for eating that crap, but at the same time I was proud for being thoughtful enough to throw the top bun away and jumping right back on the wagon afterward. It happens. I'm not going to beat myself up over it, but also not going to let it become a habit.

Re: StupidStupidStupid!!!

Not stupid. Human. As yet, it's still a pretty incurable condition.

Not much difference some days it seems, but...

From my experience at cheating ( I only did it once, but I did it for a year and half more or less ) you've already gotten past what was to me the hardest part, admitting the cheat. No rationalization, no excuses, no nothing. Just flat out "I screwed up". Now, follow that with "and I'm not going to do it again" and see what the rest of the day brings.
