I totally sabotaged myself today....ARG!

Well, I am a few days away from the 6 month post-op mark and today was my first real day of complete and total disregard for the "rules" of RNY.  I completely and totally sabotaged myself and I am livid and very, very, disappointed.  We had a birthday lunch for one of the kids in my class, and not only did I have a piece of pepperoni pizza (crust and all), I ate an entire Wagon Wheel.  I am so disgusted with myself.  I have also neglected my water.  I am sitting on 3:30 and besides a smoothie of greek yogurt this morning, I have had nothing to drink.  I guess I know what I am having for dinner.....water!  Vitamins?  What vitamins?  Sigh...how could I let this happen?? I am not usually this hard on myself.  I have had a little bite of something sweet here and there, but just a bite, not the whole kit and caboodle, so I guess I just feel a sense of shock at how quickly I reverted back to my old ways. 

I am in the middle of yet another stall and had have had a really busy week at school with the kids.  This is not an excuse, but I am just trying to decipher the emotions behind what I did today.  I think I essentially just thought that I have been working so hard, eating so little, and exercising so much and still no weight loss, so "f-this", and away I ate. 

Tomorrow is another day and I WILL get it right tomorrow, but I think admitting it today will help me deal with it, and move on.  Stupid food demons

Marny, you're right.  Tomorrow is another day.  Yeah, you frigged up your eating today.  You're human. Tomorrow is another day.   xo

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I was just angry at having opened up that can or worms.  I know it can be a slippery slope, and it's not one I want to take.

Onward and downward (on the scale anyway). Get up, brush yourself off and move on!
Yes you f-d up. Just keep it in you head so you won't make a habit of it.
Sometimes by allowing yourself those little bites you are giving yourself permission to cheat. I would cut that out all together while you are in the honeymoon phase when you should be building healthy NEW habits.

I was beating myself up cause I only lost 1 lb this past week, but hubby's health problems have been so stressful I realized I wasn't eating properly, again.  This is gonna happen occasionally.  Just get back on track and go on from there. 

Been there, done that, now get up, shake yourself off and continue on your healthy path.

Everyone has a blip once in a while, learn from it, and you will have gained something from it.

Hugs!

Thanks for sharing Marny and reminding us all how easy it can happen. I think you should take a little pride in the fact that you came clean right away and only let it last half a day before you caught yourself and turned it around. We can do this, one day at a time.

HI Marny

You don't need us to beat you up, you are doing a good job of that yourself hon.
It's one day, tomorrow is a new day. Move on.

It happens to many of us, catching it right away is the trick

Take care
Enjoy your water tonight LOL

Hey Marny,

Tomorrow is another day.  Perhaps the increase in calories today will kick start your weight loss again. 

" I have been working so hard, eating so little, and exercising so much and still no weight loss,"  Excercise requires more calories otherwise your body thinks it is in starvation mode.  Take a look at your protein and potentially increasing it to see if it helps.  Keep your chin up, you are human after all :)

Well, I feel better about myself already... not because you f***ed up, but because I know I'm not alone!  I ate pizza today for the first time since surgery (I'm nearly 8 weeks out); didn't finish a whole slice, but felt terrible about it regardless.  Great feedback from the other members.  I tend to be very hard on myself and it has led to huge problems with respect to weight loss in the past.  I need to ditch this tendency if I'm going to be successful this time.  I know that you can get back on track (and so can I) without all of the guilt.  Good luck, I'm sure the weight will start to come off again soon!

Have you tried measuring instead of weighing yourself?  Works for me during a stall...
