Slip Up - Chicken Tenders

Mar 12, 2012

I am a Taurus and can be stubborn and hard headed.  The mental part of all this is the hardest part for me.  Wrapping my mind around this new life I have forced myself into has not been easy.  I want to do what is right but it is also hard for me to accept criticism sometimes too.  

Like I said before, one reason I choose this surgery over the bypass was so I could still enjoy certain things .. just in smaller amounts.  That is where my mind has been this whole time.  That after I'm healed, which I should be after 5 weeks post op, I can take a few bits of chicken tenders and still loose weight because I'm severely limiting how much I can eat now.  If I was on weight watchers and had 3 chicken tenders I would still be way under my allowed points for the day and calories, is how I've been justifying it to myself so far.  Again, the mental part is so hard to change.  I'm tracking my calories and protein on myfitnesspal.com and I thought I was doing pretty well but always could be better.  I'm down 45 lbs now so I just have to accept what happened and move on!  I imagine everyone slips up once in a while.  I did think I was doing something OK though, getting 3 tenders instead of 10.  Get tenders instead of a greasy hamburger and fries.  It all gets so confusing sometimes when you think your doing good (or at least better then you used to) and yet you still hear that you have screwed up.  I imagine its kinda like hearing on American Idol that you were not that good and to try again next year. That's not easy to hear but, I got on the treadmill, put it behind me, had a protein shake and am moving on.  

Thanks again!
