Today Bread Called Me, and I Answered BIG TIME!

[LCS 21]

I have been so good about avoiding bread since I was sleeved back in April. But today---- I don't know what happened! It just called me and I ended up having 3 slices with butter no less! I feel terrible, like my self control just went out the window. I know that we all leave the path, but I feel awful. What worries me is that I think it's tied to my visit to the doctor. Not my surgeon, but my internest for my yearly checkup. He was kind of a downer. I was so happy that I finally am in the ones even though it's 199. He didn't seem impressed. He wasn't over the moon about my numbers going down for blood pressure, etc. either. He said that sure the numbers are good when one is losing, but let's see what happens when I reach goal and try to stay there. I don't know, maybe I'm expecting too much from other people, but I left feeling kind of down. I guess I slipped back into old habits of making food a comfort again. Oh well, this day is over, and I will climb back into the saddle, and take control again. Thanks for listening.

Oh wow we are on very similar paths!! Don’t worry you can do it I have 4 kids to cook for i totally know what you mean bread screams my name!! LOL

Yeah I too cook for my daughter and BF all the time and well bread screams at me and when its not screaming at me it's rationalizing with me. So does Pasta, ice cream, cheese, and chips. "just one won't hurt right" or "you have done so good all day/week/month just eat it" and my favorite "you totally deserve that quarter pounder you have had a bad day" Running to my favorite friends (aka food) will be very hard when and if I get sleeved. You are on the right path tho just jump back on and get back on track. My problem is the next day when I get back on track I usually mess up again and then again the next day until I completely give up. Good Luck to you!!! We wouldn't be human if we didn't learn from our mistakes right ? !

Oh I do feel your pain. I'm a month behind you and I've already had more than a few falls off the wagon. It's so important to just climb back on!!! Easy to say, hard to do.

Get away from me demon bread! Get thee behind me evil cookie! And most of all, do not cross my doorstep donut!

I don't know what the answer is besides to just keep trying. That and don't focus on a lot of negative self talk. Just look forward and think about what could change so it wouldn't happen next time.

Don't sweat it. Every few days I have an omelete for Breakfast and have a slice of toast. Nothing wrong with occasional craving. I eat a candy or ice cream here and there and still losing weight. We are still normal human beings, no need to feel guilty about it. Just don't do it every day.
