I don't know why I continue to engage in "self sabotage". A couple years ago I lost over 50 pounds and within 4 or 5 pounds of my 1st goal weight I just stopped doing things right. It started with Girl Scout cookies and didn't end until I gained most of the weight back. Now I'm dealing with needing to eat a very low fat diet to prevent gallbladder attacks. Since my doctor's appointment on Wednesday I bought and ate almost a box of glazed doughnut holes. Yesterday I went to the gym and afterwards went to Jimboy's (local fast food tacos) and bought 2 tacos and a regular Coke for me and the lady who was cleaning my house. I wanted to bring her lunch since she cleaned from 10am until 3pm. Then, after lunch, I was still craving bad things and went to the grocery store and bought ice cream and oatmeal cookies! Had some cookies last night and again this morning. I spent last night drinking many glasses of water to try to prevent any pain from gallstones. No pain, but think I've just been lucky. Hopefully I'll get over this and get back on track. Meeting friends for lunch and I had planned on ordering the lentil soup and a salad. But, honestly, the lentil soup doesn't sound good to me..

Fritzy- I have done the same and I don't know what finally stopped it so I can't really offer good advice. I just hope that you restart as soon as possible.

Fritzy, I think there's a part of me that doesn't believe I deserve this success, so I make sure it doesn't happen. Where does this low self esteem come from? I think I know where it comes from in my case; is there something in your life that might be making you feel that way too? Because, of course, it isn't true at all. We do deserve the success we're working so hard to achieve. And we will succeed as soon as we accept that truth. We CAN do this!

try mint tea with some ice cubes when u feel like u are really want to eat sth unhealthy, mint tea is soooo refreshing, tasty even no taste, that will keep u calm and u can be able to control your eating addiction
trust me, i have been doing this, it works

You certainly do deserve success and you shall be good to yourself and you will find your way. Perhaps you should try a different path to your goals. I'm pulling for you lady!

I totally understand. Today is a good day for me, it's 2:30pm and I have not had a chance to eat at all today. Had I eaten *anything* this morning I would probably be at 2k calories... (sigh)

Thanks Liv and DP - I think I'll be okay in a day or two. I get like this sometimes. Thanks Shirfleur - I guess we all go through times like this. Thanks theitrango - I love mint tea but drink it hot and it has to be sweetened with honey. I'll try it iced. Thanks Adameve - appreciate the support. Don't know another path to reaching my weight goals. I know I have to eat less, eat healthier foods and exercise. Don't know how much a gallbladder weighs...………...it may be removed! Thanks Adef. Sometimes it is easier for me not to give in to even a bite of something tempting because I can't stop at a bite. But the ultimate goal is portion control - to eat what I want, but just small portions. Like Keyten, who had 3 bites of apple pie and was satisfied!

Yeah- I'm not to that point- 3 bites of apple pie? I'd have a whole slice and not eating the whole pie or having 2nds would be the goal for me. :)

Girl Scouts are pushers, I tell you.

DP - I can't practice portion control on pie if I have a pie in my house. But if I am away from home I can do well. At my niece's house for Thanksgiving it was easy to eat a bite or two of mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, etc. But she always has a counter full of "snack", like cheese and crackers and all kinds of chips and dips. That's where I hurt myself. Kpwcalories - I've learned that the Girl Scouts are in front of the grocery stores only on weekends, so if I can avoid shopping on Saturdays and Sundays I'll be okay.
