Breakdown Moment

[fashionstylist 458]

So I've been doing excellent and had a breakdown! Someone brought in the best cupcake in the world and I broke ... Yes I ate it. I feel horrible . Needless to say this wont happen again. I'll b in the gym major time tonight! Overtime.. I need to check myself ! Out of my system ...

Okay, five minutes in timeout and don't do it again! Lol. Happens to the best of us and at least it wasn't a dozen!

It's good to have a treat every now and then. Don't beat yourself up over it. This is for life...... and life has cupcakes.

Like Guy said, at least it wasn't a dozen.

It will happen again, and its ok. Just compensate with another meal (skim off 100-150 cals) and it'll have zero effect. You'll have to understand how to live in moderation and how to plan and compensate for it. It's a powerful realization when you learn that you can incorporate junk foods on occasion without it destroying your wl efforts. The key is to not do it all the time.

I agree with AJ and Guy. It's just one cupcake so please don't be so hard on yourself.

The truth is, I personally believe the band is about moderation not deprivation. If I just had one cupcake, I wouldn't feel even a tinge of guilt. I'd just be sure to track the calories so I still stay within my daily allowance.

Hang in there

I have been banded over 2 years, have lost 109 lbs & you want to know a secret......every few weeks I have a dessert & glass of fat free milk I am truly in the mood for instead of/as my meal!!! OMG am I going to lapband hell???? I don't keep my band wicked tight & although it means I have lost weight slower then many (I still have about 25lbs to lose) for my personal growth in my relationship with food it is the best way to go.

Congrats on all you are doing to help yourself & your health!!!

Don't set yourself up as "I will never be able to have those things again!" That is a great way to fail. Eat the one cupcake and then figure out your calories, carbs, etc and work it out on the next meal or two. Now, if you find yourself doing this every day, maybe time to take a step back at look at your program. Best of luck.

Amen to that!! If we were all able to stop at ONE cupcake, we probably wouldn't be talking here on LBT

I say: once in a while and in moderation..... We still have to enjoy our lives.
