Pigged Out

Today I ate a lot and its not that my band is t working but I was able to eat more than normal. Yes it was some slide foods but I got the fu feeling but I just kept craving food! Does this happen from time to time? If its happened to you how did you overcome the urge to eat more?

Yes it happens. I find the more salty/fatty/crunchy the foods the more I want to eat them. Probably because I don't eat these foods very often. I try to get a good base of lower fat/protein foods and have a small amount of "fun foods" to top off.

I too get the cravings to eat more after I'm full....but I don't give into the urge because I hate how uncomfortable I will feel afterwards.....that alone makes me just stick to the 1 cup rule. Also the risk of slippage and erosion scares me as well.....So make sure you are not stretching the pouch....to walk away takes a lot of will power...and that's not always easy!!!

Tomorrow is another day and a day to start anew. If you have been eating healthy foods and portions before today, chances are tomorrow you may not feel so well (gassy, ucky, etc) as your body isn't used to it. Hopefully, that alone would be a deterrant.

The biggest thing is to not put yourself in that situation. If the foods were in your house, remove them. If you are overeating, try to serve yourself only 1 cup of food and put the rest away in the fridge so you aren't tempted for 2nds/3rds, etc. Lastly, if I am fighting the urge and wanting to overeat or eat unhealthy items, I try to distract myself until it passes or I will allow myself a piece of what it I am wanting and that seems to do it.

Just be careful, overeating can stretch the pouch and can cause a slip. You do not want that to happen.

Tomorrow is a new day ~ here's to doing better tomorrow!

Thanks everyone for your responses I found it was just that one day and I was very emotional. I'm going to have to find other things

to do to fight emotional hunger instead of giving I to the temptation.
