KT1981 294 Posted June 19, 2019 I lost my damn mind and pigged out on "cookie brownies", chips, and goldfish crackers. Like 1,000 calories worth in an hour. I usually don't even eat 1,000 calories in a whole day and I almost never eat that kind of crap. I feel terrible mentally but I might honestly feel worse physically. Kind of that feeling where you wish you could throw up so you'd just feel better. I'm going to lay down and take my punishment for what I've done. Blegh. Tomorrow is a new day. 2 1 3 2 ProudGrammy, Tracyringo, GreenTealael and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allwet 868 Posted June 19, 2019 forgiveness starts within - forgive but don't forget. hope you have a better day going forward. when you have a quiet moment see if you can find the reason you "lost my dam mind". was it an event or some other external pressure. You may not find the reason but at least look back and see if the trigger is there. wishing you well 5 rs, Carrot64, ProudGrammy and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Veronica Garza 16 Posted June 19, 2019 That’s me lately wanting to eat every bad food but of course I only take like one bite ... I think maybe stress takes over and we just eat to eat ... I’m going to refocus.. start journaling and add more liquids less snacking 3 rs, Tracyringo and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KCgirl061 1,532 Posted June 19, 2019 Egh. I've done that too. Not to that extreme I think but just that mindless eating and stuffing bite after bite. I hope you can get past it and it doesn't happen again. 3 ProudGrammy, rs and Tracyringo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may not find the reason but at least look back and see if the trigger is there. wishing you well I know exactly what my trigger was... anxiety. And what better way to handle that than eating, right?! I've talked to my husband about it so he can help me refocus and calm down. Anxiety is a trigger for me and I know yet. Yesterday it got the best of me, but it's not winning today! Thank you all for the support. My punishment continues today as the scale is up almost 2 full pounds overnight (I'm a daily weigher) as I retain Water and my body revolts against yesterday's torture. 1 1 Avery's Mom and Carrot64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beachyfe 40 Posted June 22, 2019 I repeat my mantra everyday and especially if I'm tempted to eat a bad food or too much...."no food tastes as good as being thin feels!" 🌞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samusaurusrex 35 Posted June 23, 2019 I have had several days like this and am only 4 months post op. it makes you feel like absolute crap, mentally and physically. All we can do is forgive ourselves and move on. Maybe another activity to take our minds off wanting to eat our feelings or out of boredom. now I just need to practice what I preach lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
