What is wrong with me?

[Guest guest]

I gotta tell you guys... there must be something wrong with me. I got up this morning and my foot is bothering me more today than yesterday. I had an appt at Kaiser Napa this morning, so I have some breakfast (oatmeal) and get ready to go. I get to Kaiser, hobble on in, get the dressing on my legs changed and decide I want to see how I'm doing on the weight. On this past Tuesday, as some of you may recall, I was at 466. I weighed in today at 463. So, needless to to say, I was very pleased with myself. My Mom (who was driving me [i don't own a car]) said she needed to stop at the store to pick up a couple things. I decided it was a good opportunity to get in a little extra walking, even though my foot is killing me by now. So I go in and decided to buy a loaf of my low cal bread and some English muffins. Now these things in themselves are fine because they will last me a couple weeks, easy. And then, what did I do? I picked up a damn candy bar, paid for it and then even ate it. It's like my olf sub-conscience ways took over and I didn't "wake up" until the damage was done. I don't go into grocery stores often for this very reason. Although lately, I've been doing pretty good... I just "put on my blinders" and I can get through the store without buying things I shouldn't be. I like going there though, because it's good walking exercise for me. I don't know... sometimes I just sabotage myself... what's up with that? Anyway, just venting... thanks for listening.

Hi ... I'm not really beating myself up over this, although it may sound that way. I was mostly just venting... but thanks. I'm still on track. I'm hoping to weigh in at Richmond on the 15th at 455 or below. If I can stay away from those candy bars, I may just do it. I'm shooting for 405 to get a surgery date. As long as I can make it through the holiday without too much incident, I'm hoping to make that goal by February sometime... or so. 58 pounds in 2 1/2 months... I can do that.

Re: What is wrong with me?

Hey, don't beat yourself up over a candy bar. 240 calories is not theend of the world. Just smile, call it a mistake and stay the course.You have had so many successes, there was bound to be a misstep nowand again. Remember, we all want you to be the best you, not theperfect you, there was only one perfect person, and look what happenedto him. :-)>> I gotta tell you guys... there must be something wrong with me.

What is wrong with you? You are human just like the rest of us. You

are battling a disease and some days you have set backs. BOY do " I "

know that. Im struggling with the same issues. Popping something in

my mouth and THEN feeling remorse and guilt. We have to take it one

day at a time, one victory at a time. If we slip we brush ourselves

off and start from there....dont think Oh well I slipped so now I

might as well make a binge of it. Thats my mantra these days. We can

do this. Grab ahold of our hands and hang on tight. Together, we can

accomplish anything!

Thanks . Yes, I know this. I was just venting mostly. I never could understand the whole sabotage thing. But, it happens I guess. I'm holding on.... let's go! No more candy for me, and no more fraps for you...

> At least you recognized your mistake, even if it was after the

fact. Now get back on track and that candy bar won't put 3 pounds

back. It's when we mess up and keep messing up the weight will

reappear so fast. When you walk to the store, take a list made out

and only buy whats on the list and don't put bad stuff on the list

and on the way to the store say if it's not on the list I will not

buy it, say it over and over this will help you. Take care. Stay on

track now, you are on your way down in the weight you can do this.

Donna

I agree with Donna. It's over. Let it go.

I only have to say " no " once to candy and pastries and that is when

it is still at the store. If I bring it home, it is a constant

battle and I usually lose. It's so much easier to not have it

around.
