Beating yourself up nutritionally speaking

[LisaMergs 2,854]

Well, today I have a thousand and one errands to run, and I've been out for 4 hours already. Huge mistake? Didn't pack anything for breakfast! Seriously, what was I thinking?

I'm sitting in my car, in a McDonalds parking lot as I type this. My stomach was literally in pain (that is what hunger feels like to me now) and that is ALWAYS a bad sign, because once that happens, it seems to stay painful all day, even after I feed it. And feeding it when it feels this way hurts, too. That's my reality.

There is NOTHING around for me to get a healthy option- and my tummy is very

Picky... Soooo. Drive through it was.

Ordered the single, small sausage Breakfast burrito. Then proceeded to unwrap it, and eat the insides - mostly, happily!, scrambled eggs, some cooked bell peppers, and oh yeah, may have found a tiny chunk of sausage in a couple places.

I was beating myself up for this the entire time I'm eating. So, did a Google search- and while the fat content isn't LOW, I think for the circumstances, and the fact that it's a one time thing, I didn't do too badly.

What do you guys "beat" yourselves up for, nutritionally speaking?

Not too bad for a quick fix. At least the carbs were low, but Protein was too.

I get grumpy when I hit that stage and struggle to find somewhere to eat something halfway nutritional.

eggs are a good choice at McDonald's. Frankly, I have found reasonable options at most fast food restaurants. I just have to stop and think.

eggs with a slice of cheese on them.

Since this is my own thread- I'm going to hijack it for a moment.

Was just in Victoria's Secret

Need new bras and panties

Now I can fit their bras

And I was about to dump a couple hundred bucks, easily

Did I get any help? Nope. Needed a size change, was told to push the button. No one came. Pushed again. Nothing. And nothing 10 min I stood in the dressing room. I proceeded to change, take the three styles I was trying on to the cashier, and politely told her I would go to a store where the clerks were attentive to customers. A group of the associates were just standing up there chatting.

Sale lost.

Buh bye now.

Back to beating ourselves up nutritionally....

I prefer Soma anyway. I've always had good service at the one here, and to me the quality of the undergarments is far superior to VS. highly recommend.

[LisaMergs 2,854]

Soma? Never heard of it?

( and I was doing VS for my husband. You know, men and the whole VS fantasy)

Soma bras are all I wear (except for a strapless I got at Torrid, which doesn't fit quite right).

If it makes you feel any better, I was really craving ground beef and queso last night, so my hubby and I went out for Tex-Mex. I did the same thing you did... unwrapped a burrito and ate the Protein -- except I poured queso all over it!! It went down so easily, I ate way more of it than I expected to be able to. Afterwards, I felt like I was going to throw up, plus I felt super guilty! It will be a long time before I do that again! I think your option in a time of need is perfectly fine. Don't beat yourself up.

You should absolutely do the "Pretty Woman" scene thing and go buy a huge bag of lingerie from another store, walk back in VS, hold up the bag, remind them they wouldn't wait on you and say BIG MISTAKE

Nothing at all wrong with that choice, in my opinion.

Fats and Protein..........exactly what I was coached to eat by my surgeon. eggs, sausage, cheese and bell pepper......perfect.

Ya done good, kid.

Yessss, pretty good! Honestly most people fail to realize if you're low-carbing, doing low-fat at the same time is a recipe for 0 energy. Your body has to feed off from something, so you cannot deprive it of both anyways.

But, yes, there are definitely those things that I eat and then I feel guilty. We were in Seattle for 3 days and went to Cheesecake Factory. I had 2 bites of the cheesecake (minus crust) and even though that was it (and I still lost because I did nothing but walked for 3 days straight), I still felt bad. But I also look at that as us knowing that we cannot always slip and rely on those things. Meaning, it's okay every once in a while, but 99% of the time we gotta do our best to eat as healthy as possible. It's all a mind game, we just gotta stay in control!

They have no reason to care at VS. it's a massive chain store and they don't make commission. They get tracked for how many store credit cards they sell. They aren't bra fitting experts like you might see at Bra Smyth.

Anyway I beat myself up anytime I fail to plan. I'm still looking for that perfect Protein snack I can keep in my purse for emergencies. I think it has to be an icky Protein Bar because I like perky Jerky too much and will just eat it it it's around.
