No, Brenda. You are making sense. I feel the same way that you do. I am much more tempted walking into a grocery store or a restaurant. I don't have any of these things in my house to cheat with, so it's not a problem for me. And, it sure makes me feel like everyone is human. And, I don't feel like I'm the only one that has failed. Also, if someone posts on here that is having great success, it helps me see that I can succeed too, even if I have a little slip-up. It is really motivating, and it came at a time that I really needed this thread. So, thanks for starting it, Leenie!

'Slap me upside the head, Star' ??? :rofl: That's too funny

Forgive me 3FC, for I have sinned. This is my first confession.

Although not my first transgression.

Well, I mentioned on the daily chat thread about my meeting yesterday where I was planning the rest of my thesis work out ... so after the meeting I was feeling a bit of stress about the impending stress (if that makes sense). So at the grocery store I bought Cheerios and milk (in addition to my normal grocery low carb fare). Resistence went completely down the drain. And I ate some. And now I have this box of Cheerios in the cupboard and a bunch of milk sitting in the fridge begging to be consumed.

In the days of high-carbing, Cheerios (plain ones) were my absolute favourite cereal. Favourite food probably. I had a weird obsession with Cheerios. When I was living in Holland I couldn't find plain Cheerios, so I made my Mom bring some over when she visited! A tad obsessed, eh? :)

Well, anyway, in light of this recent sinning, at least I can confirm the fact that I am an emotional-eater and work from there to change things!

I found these and thought they would fit here. The first one you have to click to make bigger otherwise it doesn't show the action of it.

Ok its time for me to confess,It will be week 7 on Thursday and this week I have been
letting myself get away with eating things I shouldnt.
Last night I had a hot chocolate and the day before, a French Vanilla coffee at Timmies.
I havent really had a big splurge but dont want to back slide now.
Oh and I had a chocolate kiss on the 14 th I stole off my daughter.
I weigh in on Mondays and was down 3 lbs. Thats the most Ive lost at once ...usually a pound a week so now I'm in my 140's which I havent seen for a long time.
So I need to get back on the train.

Oy to many cashews today..........TO MANY!
:ink: :ink: :ink: :ink: :ink: :ink: :ink:

I like this thread for the fact that I know I'm not alone. But I see the point of the other ladies about it potentially destroying our resolve to not cheat. So, I propose this.... We can put down our cheat free days here as well.

I had a horrible weekend not to get specific, but cookies, chips and dips. Just now got back down to weight. Went back on induction Monday morning and have been cheat free now for 2.5 days!!!!!! :D :D

lady adnerb .....that clip art was tooooooooo cute !!! :)

fell off the wagon a like half a month ago :( I'm going to try my best to get back on. It's just so hard for me because I can't cook anything myself (no stoves here) so I have to rely solely on the campus to provide meals since I live on campus. And their choices are pretty carb loaded, or really grease laden. we'll see how it goes this time :sigh:

ok I pigged out this morning I was so hungry after my work out that I ate two bowls of cereal, some sunny delight juice and one of those sausage pancakes things on a stick. I don't even want to know how many carbs are in that. OK now that is out of my system I am back I have been fine ever since even planned a low carb dinner. whoa I think I am just getting frustrated my neighbor lost 20lbs doing the same diet and in the same amount of time and I am working harder than she is an d only lost 8 I know that is still good for 2 weeks but I don't see the difference. I have to get over this need for instant gratification. Ok I am good now.

OKay Okay I cheated!!! I have been doing so good!!! BUT today TOM came 5 days early and has made me into a hormonal MESS!!! I will confess so I can wash myself of this and MOVE ON!!

Here goes:
2 donuts
5 pringles
1 cup of milk
1/2 PB and honey sandwich!
and now my payback I feel like barfing!!

Alright its is done there is nothing i can do about it now , so I am offically moving on. Need to go to the gym tomorrow to burn that crap off.

Well it seems TOM is getting to me as well.
I had 3 homemade chocolate chip cookies my DD made.
I resisted 2 days but last nite all my good intentions vanished.
Just like the cookies.
I'll do better next time
