I ate too much

But I can't tell.  I am supposed to do 1 oz.  I was stuck in Dr office (very very small) with my two DS' 4 and 5 years old.  They kept me there for two hours!!!  I was furious.  The kids were bouncing off the walls and I was angry. 

I was also hungry (so I thought).  I sat down and ate 2.5 oz of cottage cheese instead of 1. It was a 4 oz container.  Then I ate two popsicles right in a row because my family was eating Portillos.  I feel my pouch feels tight.  I feel bad.  Like I just binged.  I feel sad.  I don't know how to stop feeling sad. 
My friend is coming over for a walk. 

Ill keep my head up.  I don't want to ruin this, it is like my habits completely took over. Just sad.

dont worry too much. try mot to let your emotions get the best of you. Tomorrow is a new day. Try to make better descisions, thats all. There are no clear cut answers here..One day at a time

 You might have overeaten a little, but I don't think you really have to worry.  Honestly, we will all make that mistake at least once and then hopefully learn from it!  How far out post op are you?

I don't think you did anything majorly wrong here. Okay, so you had a bit more cottage cheese....some programs (like mine) allow as much as 4oz of cottage cheese in a sitting, which I totally can't finish. And if the popcicles are SF, its like drinking a SF drink. Its fine!! You need to forgive yourself from your old habits, you need to find a way to be ok with who you are mistakes and all. You are wonderful and you are making great changes for your life, don't hate yourself for a minor slide embrace it, learn your limits and move on!!!

I don't think you did bad.

I too have had a bad food day! I feel like all I wanted to do was eat today and I don't think I was even really hungry. It was like a carb fest hell!! It hasn't gotten better as the day has gone on. I sit here typing this and my daughter has a plate of crackers and cheese and ranch doritos, my granddaughter has a slurpee, yogurt, and cheese! Uughh!

I don't think the issue here is what you ate or how much you ate of it. The cottage cheese pretty much slides right through and sf popsicles are liquid they run right through.

The part that I feel is an issue and that you've already identified is that it was in reaction to something. The good part is that while you reacted by going to food you made good choices however will you always make good choices when reacting? I have found that I've been able to identify what and how I eat a lot after starting therapy after my surgery. I still make mistakes I still make unhealthy choices sometimes but I recognize it and am working on it. The fact that you recognized it means you are halfway there.

Go for a walk with your friend talk to her. Get input and look inward. If you think talking to a therapist would help go for it!

Take it one day at a time right now and don't beat yourself up!

OH needs a LIKE button, plenty of good advice here.  At least the foods you ate were reasonable.

Keep identifying your triggers and find ways to get past them.

You are not alone in reacting this way, the key is finding a non food related way to deal

But at least you realized it. And now you know how you feel and hopefully it'll help you not do it again. That's the first step! Keep working at it. We all have these days.

At least it was something healthy and not a bag of chips. Also, it was not that much. It is a slider food, so you did not hurt your pouch.
