Had Halloween Candy For Breakfast

[Wendy0513 38]

???± But I logged it on MFP and am

moving on. Gotta eat right the rest of the day. Same old desires / habits creep back!

What do they say... One day at a time.

Happy Friday everyone!

We are all human and kuddos to you for tracking the candy! You said it best, moving on....

Happy Friday!

my daughter was great she took hers to school but i managed to find a couple and of course just so they wouldn't be in the house I ate them but . like you I tracked them I think that is the important part. We can have everything if we track them and get all our 'must' in for the day as well. every meal is a restart.....line dancer

I'm still pre-op and had too much Halloween candy until I sent it all away! As hard as it was to see it in black and white (and for others to see...my logs are public!), I did log it on MFP. Good for you for logging it and good for you for admitting it to us here, as well. Like line dancer said, we can have everything (ie: no food is off limits...unless it's a "stuck" food!), it just has to be accounted for. And each meal is a restart. I don't plan to live the rest of my life without a piece of candy, a serving of ice cream, or a french fry. At this point in my journey, I don't think there is any food that I will never eat again (unless it makes me sick or gets stuck). What I do plan on, though, is turning those foods into "very rarely eaten foods" and making lifestyle changes and choices that help me to be healthier.

I agree. My goal is peace without sacrifice. I am changing my eating habits but don't plan to have any "off-limits" foods (unless my band prohibits). I want to ditch the idea of "cheating" and learn to live my life. As in all of life, I do good most of the time and occasionally have a bad day. I'm reading "eat what you love, love what you eat" and I'm trying to change the way I think about food. Of course, I'm using a therapist to help me, but I finally have a vision of "success".

Here's to all of our success!

Wendy you are right old habits are hard to break but each day it gets easier and easier. I agree with all these posts, no more dieting, no food is off limits, it's all about healthy eating and accounting for that treat or that extra bit if food or that slice of cake or that glass of wine or cocktail....

We need to develop a healthy relationship with food and become more active and not obsess over something we shouldn't have eaten. Count it in your daily calorie or portion intake, do a bit of extra exercise, enjoy what you eat.

Last weekend I made chocolate chip banana muffins for the kids and I knew I would have eaten them too so what I did is I made them normal size and I made two tiny ones in those tiny little cupcakes and had one one day and one a few days later. It was just the right amount to enjoy with a cup of tea and enough to satisfy my palate.

I really am enjoying this new healthy way of eating and enjoying the odd treat with no tummy pains or bloating from overeating.

In the end if we don't account for things we are only lying to ourselves that's one thing I no longer do.
