  • I Cheated. (Happy Bren?)

    So, it started out innocently enough. Last week (Thursday while pulling into daycare to pick-up my kiddo) my car died. So Monday morning my BF comes out (he lives an hour away) to get my shift knob and stereo from the car (the shift knob was a birthday gift from him, it looks like this - http://www.flameball.com/Pewter/PW2-Dragon.htm, and the stereo he had hard wired in and only took 4 minutes to take out). I'm not insane for asking for the shift knob. Anyway. So he stops at Dunkin Donuts to get himself coffee, I ask if he can pick up a latte (yes, with caffeine, no, I'm not giving it up). I say that if they have sugar-free syrup to have them put some in. So those B*&Y^E at DD confuse him by asking him if he wants flavoring in it, and he figures he's being really sweet so he gets Mocha flavoring (which we all know is chocolate syrup). So he tells me this after I had drank about half of it. So I say, it's ok, it's one cup of coffee, I'll finish it and move on. He already feels really bad about the whole thing so I didn't yell at him or anything and he even apologized which is amazing. So I was clean the rest of the day. Tuesday morning, since Im getting rides to work, the person I was coming in with decides she's going to take a half day and can't take me home and yadda yadda, so I call out sick. I ate 2 PB&J sandwiches yesterday. As I was going after them, I even asked myself why. I avoided carbs most of the day, I was totally bored, so if I went in the kitchen hunting I asked myself why and if I was actually hungry, and it turns out I wasn't hungry most of the time. And then the evening came and I was actually hungry and realized I had nothing that was low carb and I wanted to eat and so I ended up eating one, then about 2 hours later I had another one. I'm not giving excuses. I ate them 'cause they tasted really good instead of taking the time to make something that would have been better for me. So here we go with that whole tough love thing.

    As a couple side notes:

    Richt - please don't slap too hard, I'm pasty and bruise easily.
    k5commando - handcuffs don't really scare me.

    Lyssie.......... no I am not happy. But I applaud you for fessing! I think you realize also that you answered all your own questions in your post.
    Now, all you have to do is be 150% honest with yourself (not an easy task, trust me I know). But, in order to succeed it is time to smell the roses or coffee (hardy har har).

    HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? How bad do you really really really want to be healthy?
    How much do you want to stand in a fitting room and smile instead of cry? It is all up to you. BUT...... I will do whatever you let me do to help you. That is how I did it. The people here! They made me see myself and I mean REALLY see myself for the first time in my life and they told me I "could" do it. Ya know what! I believed them! I bought into every thing they told me! Every thing! Hook, line and sinker! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and trust me WE DO BELIEVE IN YOU! We know it can be done.

    I am not a psychiatrist (cannot even spell it). I have been told though it would take a team of them working 24/7 for months to figure me out! But one thing I do know is if I can do this (After 40 years of failure) ANYONE CAN!!!!!!!

    YOU ARE WORTH IT!
    YOU ARE SSSSSSSSOOOOOOO WORTH IT!

    You are only a decision away. READ the posts here! You are no different then any of us...... nope, not at all. Draw your lines. Set your goals! I see them in your signature!! NOW........what are the rewards for those goals. Put those in your signature too!

      2 peanut butter sandwiches??? Ick...didnt it make you feel bloated and lethargic? *smacking Lyssie's hand*. Oh wait, thats the Slap Polices' job. But I do think it pays to think first. I know for me The way i feel when I eat right is sooooooooo different from when I was full of carbs. 2 sandwiches would require a nap for me. Eating without thinking is what got us into this to start with. And please return the hand smack if you catch me cheating. Will be appreciated.

        Well, you got a nice whoopin' from these folks but I think seeing how today's just day 1 of putting in a full day of CLEAN eating, just one more little post won't hurt.

        First.... for admitting you screwed up and gave in to emotional stuff.

        Second... next time you start scavenging through the cupboards and fridge because of emotional eating go exercise, drink your water, come here to the board, or journal.

          Thanks for the hand smacking. Actually, I get really sick the day after I eat carbs so I woke up this morning with a horrid tummy ache.

            If you cheat again, look out... You WILL get slapped!
            Now remember that, plus the icky feelings you have now plus any more you have to go thru to get back into ketosis.

              I'm actually planning a date with ketostix when I get home tonight just to see if it's going to be totally negative or if it'll be partially pink. That sounds so wrong.

                  Ohmygod. You're totally assuming that it won't turn. What if it does? What if I majickally worked out enough at the gym and drank enough water and everything and the stix still love me?! HA! What then? There's absolutely no faith in a girl. I don't actually think it'll turn either, but I can dream, and I'm being clean which is the best I can do.

                  The knobs are awesome - I think they require a little knowledge of electronics to install with the LEDs in order to make them hook up right (mine stayed on as long as there was power to my stereo instead of being wired to my headlights).
