Please flame me...

Beth, Beth, Beth... I don't see a reason to be so hard on yourself. You made a concsious decision to eat the 3 fries, you did it, and now it's done. No big. I'll bet the "old" Beth would have had more than baked french fries. "Fall down seven times, get up eight." - Japanese Proverb Chin Up, A.J.

Yep, the "old" Beth would have stuffed her face with things like pizza, buffalo wings, real fries dipped in ranch dressing, etc., etc., etc.! Yeah, I am usually pretty good at *not* beating myself up, actually. But today has just been a downer. Love the Proverb, and thanks for the support! Beth

AJ, That is one of my very favorite quotes...aptly used! Jen

Everyone else here offered up great advice so I'm here to offer up hugs to you (((((((((Beth)))))))))))) Dana

Right back at ya! And a BIG one too! Thanks Dana, Beth

All I have to say is that this board rocks!!! We all go through crap and make bad choices...and someone is always here to pick us up. We definitely have all made bad choices. Be strong. Try again tomorrow and believe in yourself. Jen

Hey hon. This is the way I see it.........We have been living with these bad habits for several years. Its going to take longer then 5 months to retrain ourselves. The first step is seeing that you are eatting for emotional reasons. Im proud of you for owning up to it and seeing the problem. I struggle with emotional eatting everyday. I just hope that I end up winning the war in the long run. Hugs, kristi
