What the hell just happened.....

Yup, that's usually me too. Toss the crap after the party! Luckily I don't like ice cream cake!

i think spending all day at a fair yesterday was harder on me and I like rewarded myself with the twizzler and few chips because I DIDNT get to eat fries dough, or pizza or fritters or whatever crap was at the fair that I would have enjoyed. 

Geez.... This just happened way sooner than I expected. Moving on to a nice long walk!

Stuff happens.  I find that every dinner party is a challenge for me.  The foods are so good, and there is always something that gets me.  I finally reconciled it by realizing it will happen and its ok as long as it doesn't happen often.  As long as I can keep to plan at home, and in restaurants, an occasional slip isn't going to do me in.

Yes, and the other lesson:  You tummy restriction doesn't help unless you eat dense protein first to close the pyloric valve.  Junk food goes right on thru.

Forgive yourself.  Tomorrow's another day.

Thanks Carol! I think your right and I think that will be my challenge too!

Don't let it become a huge head issue but don't just forget it because you don't want it to happen next party. Think about your motives and what you can do different next time. I was at a funeral 3 days out and ate a baby carrot, not thinking! I kind of freaked out, worrying what it would do to my new sleeve but I was ok and frankly, celebrations are still hard for me when I see everyone eating "normal". You'll have those moments where you'll eat things you shouldn't but the good thing is, you recognized it and you'll move of with the power of knowlege for next time!

You're human. Like you said, move on and try to forget it. This is not an indication of failure on your part.

I'd be scared too - especially since your stomach is still healing right now.  (Which is why you didn't feel full, since the nerves are still healing.)  

Are you seeing a therapist? 

I'm not going to be scared, I'm going to be cautious. It was a momentary loss of sanity due to stress, my first entertaining event and my IN LAWS.....ahhhh btw!!! 

They are gone,party is over, no more hosting until Xmas! Focused and ready to rock and roll.  

Yes, i a therapist and I have an appt. soon....phew. 

Thanks for replying!!

Move on and tomorrow's a new day :)

Seriously, take it as a lesson that you're just going to have to be so much more prepared the next time. Figure out how to fit a little something extra into your plan for that day, and that might help you resist the other crap. White-knuckle it, and just tell yourself that it won't kill you not to have that stuff you're dying to have. This sort of day is going to come up again and again and again, and it's not going to get any easier, so you probably need a more well-thought-out strategy for handling it next time.

HUGS!

Thanks! 

Failure is when you keep on doing these old habits.One thing is good is you noticed you did them. Next time have an alternative snack for you. That might help.
