feel like a failure (just venting :()

[irwin46]

i feel horrible bcuz im cranky and needy and whiny... (gosh, im laughing at myself typing this.. i feel completely insane!!)

so today for brunch i ate my leftover cheesey cauliflower casserole and not paying any attention i probably ate 2 servings averaging 12carbs. so does that completely ruin my day? i know im only supposed to have 1c 'other veggies' and im misrebly mad at myself and trying not let it slow me down BUT THEN i go to my parents house and they brought home a footlong sub and altho i looooove these from this particular restaurant im determined not to eat any right? well, while i was cutting some for my little one, i inadvertantly pop a small piece of bread into my mouth! i couldnt believe myself! it's like im sooo distracted and for no good reason.. im only on day 2 since i halfta keep restarting. ive finally said ENOUGH and am trying to stay clean, but its like my mind isnt functioning!! what the **** is wrong with me?? i want this, im enjoying reading the recipes and looking forward to cooking but why am i screwing up?? i know this is a retorical question and i hope im not bringing anyone down. i apologize, i just dont want to take anymore frustration out on my poor defenseless boyfriend who has had it up to here with hearing 'ill start tommorrow.'


so thank you all for listening. this board is ah-mazing. and if anybody does read this, did i completely ruin my day by eating 2 servings of other veggies? im sorry, i have a million questions i know. thank you again, atleast im smiling at myself now.

the veggies were not really a big deal.... the bread however.....

Is there any other 'diet' where we would worry we were ruining things by eating too much cauliflower?!?!?

Dont worry too much about it - it is done now and all you need to to is get back on-plan from this moment on.

The mouthful of bread was a mistake (as you know and are feeling guilty about right now) but you cant take it back and need to take this 'slip of the mouth' as a warning to be more mindful of what you are doing when preparing food for others.

I noticed you said

im only on day 2 since i halfta keep restarting

to be honest, if we had all restarted counting our 14-day induciotn each time we ate one mouthful of 'illegal' food some of us would still be counting!!

If you eat offplan you dont have to start counting from day 1 again (or worse still decide to eat offplan for the rest of the day and start again tomorrow) just keep counting the days as if you had not made that slip, so tomorrow will be day 3 and so on - as long as you get back onto eating induction food the very next mouthful

Re: feel like a failure (just venting )

thank you all soooo much.

i did infact promptly spit the bread out which makes me feel even more insane for admitting that, but ill keep trucking.

so today i ate the 2 servings cauliflower (with chicken and cheese)
fried pepperoni and 2 deviled eggs.
im not even hungry.. more like naseous, but ill survive. thank you again, you all are extremely extremely helpful. im going to try to get a small salad down, hopefully with some grilled chicken sliced on top. just want to stay strong before the weekend hits me....

Re: feel like a failure (just venting )

it could have been A LOT worse. you ate more cauliflower than you had planned. certainly not the end of the world! even the bread... it was a mouthful? just get right back on track. at least you didn't eat the whole sub!!!

Re: feel like a failure (just venting )

You spit the bread out?? Then no problem eh?? I think it's just old habits dying hard, but pretty soon you'll be in the groove. I used to snack unconciously while preparing food before too.



Like the previous poster said, could have been much worse. Sounds like you're doing great over all.
