I cheated today

 Went to Olga's and ate some of those snackers.  Damn those things were good.  I could only eat like 5, but my punishment for the day is two shakes for the rest of the day.  Argh!

I have a suggestion for you, instead of viewing the rest of today's eating as punishment, would you consider looking at things a bit differently?  For example, do you feel that today's indulgences were OK with you, or is this a behavior you would really like to change? 

If this is change worthy behavior, than you might want to take this opportunity to really think about the causes of this behavior.  Why do you think you chose to eat this now?  This takes a bit of analysis on your part to try to get some insight into what were the underlying reasons for the behavior.

You might then want to come up with plans or strategies to replace this behavior with a different behavior in the future.  Nothing about this required judgment or shame on your part.  As a matter of fact, the very best mind set to do this in is gratitude for the opportunity to learn about eating issues.  After all, none of us will ever be perfect, and the way we learn to deal with our imperfections plays a huge role in our long term success.  I usually try to approach this with a cool intellectual curiosity. 

Once I have come up with a strategy that I think would help me next time that I run into this behavior, I commit to practicing it and actively look for opportunities to try it out.  I then make changes to my strategy as necessary. 

Eventually, my strategies become so ingrained into who I am, that I no longer really even think about them, they just become part of who I am as a person.  I have found this to be a very important part of my recovery from obesity.

If on the other hand, this is not truly seen by you as change worthy behavior, than no problem, proceed as planned.

 Well said.  Excellent advice!

 
Edit:

Seems there is more than one Olgas Snackers !!!

frisco 

 Wow.  That is mucho calories.....

Holy Mother of Mary!!!  just seeing the cals n fat etc turns my stomach big time!!!! but 5?? holy sheep chit!!

thinking about the calories, fat etc in the ingredients of those things I may have liked is what i use to turn me off...when trying to eat healthy n form habits...counting calories, fat etc  i am very choosey to fit good things into my plan for the day.. sure i remember how things tasted so good...but knowing the cal content quickly turns me off big time.....this is the strategy i have used n continues to work for me.

Are these cookies or something?

Whoa . . . that's over 2000 calories alone!! Holy crap!! I've never heard of those and I'm not going to investigate further.

Dont eat out if you cant control it, I try not to ,as always eat better to my plan when I dont go out.

Damn girl thats way too much!

Hang in there suite! You can always make better choices tomorrow.  I don't know about you but if I obsess about mistakes, I get stuck in a bad place so I try to see them, acknowledge them and move on to better choices.  You could reflect and evaluate but keep it moving sister - you're on this path and have tons of support here.  We won't sugar coat it (obviously) but we know you can do it!  Hang in there!!!
