Cravings

[JulsOT 5]

I am 11 months post sleeve. My high wt was 224 lbs, surgery day weight 211 lbs, current wt fluctuating between 135 and 139 lbs. I am 4'11 3/4 in. I have been at this wt for a couple months now and maintain it. My old cravings have been returning in the last 3 weeks(which I knew from others would happen). Sometimes I can resist, especially if I look up my tempation on My Fitness Pal. Other times I try to drink more Fluid or eat a piece of fruit...I am ashamed to say that sometimes I have given in to the craving anyway(last night I ate a big bowl of Cocoa Krispies and 2 Hershey Kisses...I don't want to regain the weight, but sometimes my brain has other ideas. I feel like a failure. Any/all advice is appreciated. HELP!!

Thank you!

Make yourself a nice sweet Protein Shake and drink that instead.

Get the Cereal and candy out of the house.

I'm going to say congrats. And if that was just a one time treat then it wasn't a horrible choice. Cereal isn't the worst choice. You didn't have a whole bag of chocolate.

So look at it for what it is. You wanted it and you enjoyed it in moderation.

Just record the things you are eating so you can look back and see when there is a turning point. When does a treat turn into a regular occurrence. When does a small amount turn into excess.

I think life is a balance in every aspect and you seem to know that you've come a long way and worked very hard. But you can handle making some decisions to keep your weight in check and enjoy your food as well.

I'm not a die hard shamer here. I just say do what you know you can do. And you are under 140 and for anyone here that's fabulous. Congrats!!!!
