kicking myself in the....

[AWAaviatrix]

Very disappointed in myself. I cheated this evening and feel sick about it. Not only physically but emotionally. I went to dinner with my family and I let my husband tell me it was ok and I should have a free day. I ate 5 chips with salsa and a sopopilla with honey. I now have a stomach ache and feel like a failure for not sticking to my guns. The stuff didn't taste like it used to either so I didn't get any satisfaction out of foods I used to enjoy. I'm also now mad at my husband for my lack of discipline which is stupid too.
There are so many role models on these boards and it really eats at me that I don't have the self control like they had to succeed.

It's ok! Just pick up and move on. Don't punish yourself, it's done. Just get back on and drink your water. You'll be fine :hug :hug

Its true. The harder you are on yourself, the more likely you will go on a several day...or more...break. Just pick yourself up, shake yourself off, admit you're only human, and start all over again. Thats the best way. :hug

tough love

speak kindly to yourself av. this event is now in the past. time for some neutral analysis.

that sounds like a risky enviroment. if you have some influence over restaurant choices, try to go for one that doesn't keep an overflowing basket of carbage on the table.

if you are going somewhere with high carb snacks around then take some cheese crisps with you - dip the crisps into the sour cream instead. who knows, people may like your cheese crisps as much as they like the chips... :yes

you need to explain to hubby that encouraging you to cheat
isn't the kind of support you would like to have from him.
time to ask for some tough love.

and i think it is very encouraging that these foods didn't taste as good to you as they used to.
