Why Did I Eat That?

[kmbrlycool 214]

I'm at a ballpark and I ate a soft pretzel. All by myself. Over an hour.

Why did I do that? It wasn't necessarily delicious... I wasn't necessarily hungry

Five months out and still mess up. And I even know that "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

I'm almost 5 months out and I mess up on occasion... My thought is this... Moderation is key!! I didn't have this procedure to be on a diet the rest of my life. I had it to help give me the control that I lacked when it came to food. You ate a soft pretzel... so what?? Just watch what you eat the next few days and you will get back on track... I had some Chef Boyardee Beefaroni this evening for dinner... Not the most healthy choice but I had a craving, I ate about 1/2 a cup and now I am full and good to go... 6 months ago I was eating a whole can of Beefaroni along with a grilled cheese AND Doritos!! LOL

I want and STILL enjoy some of my favorite foods..... I'm almost 90lbs down in 5 months so I must be doing something right!!! LOL

Good heavens! You ate a pretzel?! The heavens are going to punish you!!! Not really..not any worse than you are beating yourself up right now! I would bet you probably ate much less than you normally would have...and really ballparks don't offer the healthiest selections. So ..stop beating yourself up! A trick you can try that I do at my daughter's soccer games is to have Water, Protein Shakes, and a small snack of pre-portioned nuts, PB, or other high Protein snack toted in a small lunch sized cooler. Easy, portable, & very doable! Keeps me on track! May help you stay on target too! But above all..Give yourself some credit!!!
