Guest guest Posted December 12, 1999 Report Share Posted December 12, 1999 It's okay! You're allowed an occasional treat! I'm sorry to hear that they weren't worth it. Next time have something that you'll think is worth it. Then you won't feel so guilty. Tomorrow (which is now today, I think) you'll start being good again. Robin G.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 1999 Report Share Posted December 12, 1999 Dearest , You are so very precious! I know exactly what you are talking about (and I'll bet my bottom dollar that everyone else on here does too). We all tend to give in to our feelings and there sometimes we just don't have the energy to pay attention to that " stop sign " on certain foods. You stop feeling so down on yourself and just be " good " for awhile now. You know, Christmas is coming and we all have to " resist temptation " for about 3 more weeks. Then the next worry that I have is my birthday. That's February 3 and I'll be 66. All of my kids, grandkids, inlaws, outlaws, friends and maybe even a few " party crashers " show up to take me out to eat. It's always to a really fun place. Year before last we went to the " Potatoe Patch " where the waiters stood across the room and actually threw hot rolls to you. They gave me a silly hat and everyone sung this stupid birthday song to me. It was a blast (until I checked my blood sugar!) Oh well, we only go around once! It's like this sign I saw. " Cheer up, things could be worse. So I cheered up and sure enough things got worse " . Your friend, Naomi Indescretion -- Oooooooooooooohhhhh! Yesterday I fell off the wagon. Shopping. The Mall. Stop for something to eat. I ordered an A & W Root beer float - kiddee size. Oh gosh. Was it Good!!! Tasted like a second. So I got one! It had been so-o-o-o long since I had had something that sweet and good. But oh my!. The two together counted for 78 g carbs. The entire day's diet was also a disaster. Today I'm paying for it. Sleepy, teary, depressed, unmotivated, unenergetic, -- you name the hypo symptom --- I got it! Worth it? In the long run, I don't think so. I will behave in the future. I will. I will -- I will. (Until next time, when I've had a long enough time in between to forget what today felt like.) in Constable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 1999 Report Share Posted December 12, 1999 .....hang in there girl...I have days like that when I haven't fallen off the wagon! It's the nature of the beast! We all love you and know you get get control of the rein before the horse throws you...to use a Texas metaphor! *hugs* Toni Indescretion -- > > > > > Oooooooooooooohhhhh! > > Yesterday I fell off the wagon.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 1999 Report Share Posted December 12, 1999 , Don't beat yourself up. All of us have an occasional cheat. Just wipe the crumbs off and go right back to what you were doing. It happens and do not fret about it anymore. Shame that it wasn't worth it though. It is very hard during this holiday period. I am not eating anything I am not suppose to but find myself surrounded with goodies and am eating way too much. Keep exercising and trying. It will help. We are here for you if you need a boost.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 1999 Report Share Posted December 13, 1999 Thanks for sharing that, . It's such a great reminder. As an alcoholic I have to " keep my memories " green, because for me to pick up a drink is probably to die. I pray every day to never forget the last binge.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 1999 Report Share Posted December 13, 1999 Naomi -- And all Thanks for the commiseration. As I mentioned, there will probably be a " next time " somewhere down the road. But meanwhile I'm going to try and be good. Naomi wrote: >the next worry that I have is my birthday.

It's always to a really Hey, we're practically twins -- not counting a year or two and a couple of days. I'll be 68 on the 6th. >It's like this sign I saw. " Cheer up, things could be worse. So I cheered >up and sure enough things got worse " . And you're quote is from a Nebbish, isn't it? A little guy in a box not quite big enough for him. --- (Or was that the " Plan Ahead " one?) I doubt that anyone under 30 remembers them. (Do you also remember when anyone over 30 was not to be trusted?) Anyway --- I did have another theory on why I felt that way yesterday. I fell last Thursday and gave myself quite a wallop. It could have been fall-out from that. Or maybe a combination. Stress and all that. in Constable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
