And ate four pieces of Valentines Day candy. And I am pissed. My stomach hurts and I wish I didn't do it. I am pmsing like a monster and I just really wanted them. I enjoyed every bite, but I am angry with myself now. But I'm over it and it won't happen again. My question is... I get that no one is perfect and we will make mistakes and slip up occasionally. How do you deal? Accept it and move on? Do I allow myself ONE piece of candy when the urge gets insane (for me, that only when I am pmsing) so I don't go crazy?

I was sleeved 12/21/16

You're right in thinking that we ALL have these moments...you have to have a plan for what to do when the urge hits. I've found that activity nearly erases any cravings I have, plus when my head says 'hey, eat that!!', I go for Water first. That often does away with the craving.

The other thing....don't expose yourself to the things that lead you off-plan. As soon as I started eyeing the bowl of candy at Christmas, I put it in a ziplock and sent it to my husband's office. I've stopped buying crackers. Not one single solitary sweet baked good has entered this house since I had my surgery. Candy, crackers and muffins/scones are my kryptonite, so they're not allowed to sit around my kitchen.

Good luck!
