I feel guilty....

I have to confess that this past saturday I had 3 bites of a cheeseburger from Wendy's. I did not eat the whole thing because as I was eating it I felt so guilty...never in my life have I felt as guilty as saturday. I also did not eat the whole thing because I was scared that it could hurt me. I don't want to develop a bad eating habit again especially not after surgery. I know...I know that 3 bites isn't all that bad compared to what I use to eat before, but I don't want to do this again. I also know that it is up to me to make the right choices, but when you are out with your family at the movies, mall, anywhere except your home it is so hard to make the right choices. My nutritionist always told me that I would still lose weight regardless of what I was eating because I was not eating the same amount like before, but I want to do the right thing and I have to say that I think I am doing okay?!?!?!? I had surgery on 3/24/04 and I am down 75lbs...so I guess I am right on track!!!! I just did not realize that after surgery I would always be feeling guilty about the choices I am making even if they are not bad!!!!! Edna 255/180/???

I feel guilty all the time too but i look at it this way also....there is no way that i will ever eat the amount of food i did in the past and if i do eat something that i really shouldnt eat it is only a very very small sample. Cant kick yourself for one little bite... LaRHonda-77

Edna, Don't feel bad!!! Everyone does this now and then... no one can be "perfect" even with this wonderful tool. Just try to make healthy choices as much as possible, and you will be fine! I don't truly believe that an indulgence once in a while is bad -- it's when it becomes a habit that it becomes a problem. You're doing great!!! Congrats on your weight loss!!
