snapy17 39 Posted May 29, 2017 I cheated hard core this weekend. I have lost 50 lbs In the past 16 weeks & it's been a journey of ups & downs & it will be for the rest of my life. So this is not a cry for help or advice just a confession. I inhaled ever carb in sight this weekend. Today I ingested A total of 1300 calories, 150gms of carbs & only 40 Gms of Protein. I didn't usual 10000 steps. I am back on the wagon tomorrow but what a fall. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pam_2-06-2017 375 Posted May 29, 2017 Aw...mess ups happen. Great job getting back on track quickly. Be aware of carb cravings over the next couple days til that crap is back out of your system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermione53 157 Posted May 29, 2017 I've done that, too. In fact, this weekend has been like that for me. Every time I focus on building the "getting back on my horse" skill/ habit. We can all get back on track when we stop judging the slips and move on. My NUT said slips WILL happen; it's all about the response to them.

Joann454 1,329 Posted May 29, 2017 I'm scared because I'm craving at a week out. I have no intention of acting on the feeling but it's disconcerting. I struggle with what head hunger is and what it feels like. I can't tell. When you ate the carbs did you feel restriction? 1300 calories doesn't sound too hog wild. Not when we could eat 2000 in one sitting. One thing I'm impressed with is you logged your food. No head burying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I absolutely felt the restriction...I ate about 8 times instead of my usual 3 & that's what racks up calories. I didn't plan ahead of time so I was hungry & the memorial day Beach picnic spread was available ...I chose carbs.I did complete my 10000 steps though which included a 3 mile walk on the beach.

snapy17 39 Posted May 29, 2017 Absolutely had to make a conscious decision to log everything in so I could see the pattern learn from it and try not to repeat it my fitness pal has surely been a great tool to help me learn my patterns. I didn't want to log in yesterday but I did it and I learned it was the frequency of eating.

Doesn't sound as if you went off the rails. I bet it feels good to be back in control today. Many of my poor choices in the past were me not planning and preparing. Thanks for sharing this. I'll remember it down the road. 1 snapy17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
