Laugh to keep from crying
Humor (and a tad bit of anger) will get me through this..... :(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfk5iseN87k Ok so I want to stay POSITIVE but you guys are my sounding board and I just need to speak this and own it as my mistake. Almost 3 weeks down tomorrow and had my 1st cheat yesterday. Went to get a fajita salad, no cheese extra lettuce for my supper. I asked for salsa but no sour cream or guacamole. Pay.... get out to my car and dang it the tortilla chips are in my bag. I dont know why it was so hard for me to say no to them. I fixed chips and sandwiches for the kiddos the other day without even thinking twice about it. This is day 2 of TOM and I feel like I am starving. I have done tea and coffee plus my 2Liters today and its not helping. Any tips for me? I think I'm going to have an extra packet today before I do something stupid again. I am he(( bent on making sure this doesn't screw up my week. :mad: |
thank you
that makes me think of another good "reward" when trying not to use food as a reward~~~COMEDY
watch your favorite funny movie (BEST IN SHOW always works for me) or silly show on TV Ellen, Jon Stewart, Betty White, whatever floats your boat I have only recently discovered you don't HAVE TO snack while watching TV what a concept :D you can , play games on your phone, play your guitar, play with your animals, play with your friends, braid someone's hair, do someone's nails (or your own) there are lots of things to do besides EAT:o |
ok this makes 21 posts, am I officially "here" yet?
dying to know what happens? will someone tell me? will I get a patch, a pin? a prize? |
You sure as heck won't get a chip..... cause I ate it. LOL :)

The best thing you can do when tempted is walk away. Remove yourself from the temptation. If you can't do that, you just have to dig deep and decide you aren't go to give in. Take it one day at a time and make a commitment not to cheat that day. You can't change the past, so you need to figure out if there is something OP that helps you through the hungries during TOM. I've never been one to eat plain pickles, but since starting IP they are a go to when I'm super hungry between meals. |

You just gotta forgive yourself (you're only human) and move on. I think moving on and getting back OP after admitting you messed up is a victory, too! Better than the "I've already messed up, might as well just eat whatever I want now" mentality that I have used before. You're doing great, keep positive! :) |

I always have to crochet, knit or cross stitch when I'm in front of the TV or I will fall asleep. But it beats eating! |
I love that scene; thanks for posting :)

Had a good laugh with that video. I find myself getting all the good food (that kids don't eat) in the garbage as quick as possible. Thank goodness have not taken anything back out!
I agree with the others, pick yourself back up and move on. You should be back in ketosis if you were kicked out, soon and it's back to fat burning. I just finished some pickles myself as it has been a hungry day for me. Just need to go to sleep I think. Have a good day tomorrow. Don't be guilty! |
I only just started my second week but what I have found that helps is to ask someone to take away the tempting food at that moment. Then I take some deep breaths and move onto something to keep my mind and hands busy. Give it a try, it may help! Good luck!
