Feeling Guilty, Beating Myself Up

[Jen in SoCal 189]

Today I ate two carne asada tacos and they were big! I only ate one tortilla on one of them (they come wrapped in two) and I ate the meat out of the other. I literally felt like I was going to burst! I was in so much pain afterwards I honestly thought about making myself throw up.

I hope I haven't done any permanent stretching to my pouch.

This is the number one fear I have, I am a self described food addict and have very little will power ESPECIALLY when I know I "can't" have something, I did the same stupid thing last week and ended up I the ER with a pulled muscle from puking which I turn upset my healing incisions, the only real advice I can give is to cut the portion down, even if you do want/need to eat the whole item, cut it into several small portions and jus snack on it over a couple hours. I HATe the idea of havin gone through all this pain and suffering JUST to undo it with weakness to food

Good luck lady !

Ok first of all you have to stop the guilt it happen it's over now move on. Tomorrow is another day. Don't backslide and fall into bad habits. You made a mistake don't let it tear away all you worked for. Wake up tomorrow and make good healthy choices. Leave behind the negative and remember why you chose this.

Thanks ladies! I am over it. I screwed up and I admitted it. Today is a new day and a new opportunity to better myself. Thanks for responding to my confession, slapping me in the face and shaking me by my shoulders...I mean that in a good way of course :-)

Don't know what I'd do without the support and advice from this board!

I wouldn't worry too much about stretching your pouch. It takes a lot more than one meal. It's not only OK, but important to allow yourself to have an occasional day where you indulge yourself (although not to the "bursting" point LOL). Remember the Prime Directive - your lifestyle changes have to be sustainable. Set the bar too high and you're setting yourself up to fail. An occasional indulgence is part of life and perhaps more importantly, part of living your life as opposed to just going through the motions.

punk.rock.mama - I don't have the slightest doubt that you have the very best of intentions. But what you're describing is "stacking" (aka "grazing") and that is a really bad idea. The goal is to finish every meal in roughly 20-30 minutes. Never eat less than two hours or more than four hours apart. You're gonna love the new you!!
