I am a slow learner

Geez, why do I do this to myself!?  There is a bake sale fundraiser at work today.  Normally, I would put some money in the donation jar and walk away without buying anything.  But today I decided to get a small piece of mint brownie.  That was mistake #1.  Then, I proceeded to eat it on an empty stomach (mistake #2) after not having had breakfast yet (mistake #3).

Now, I feel like crap.  Tired, a little sick to my stomach, and overall icky.

DUH.  Carbs are not my friend, especially the sugary kind.

In a sick sorta way, it's a gross reminder of why I shouldn't do this again!  But I guess I am a slow learner!!!

I still LOVE MY SLEEVE, but the choices are all up to me.  And today I made a bad one.  Live and learn.  Back to protein I go!!!

 I've never thought of you as a slow learner!  It is a good reminder to stay mindful though, eh?  We all make mistakes here and there, you know the drill - You made a bad choice, you are not a bad person.

I too am a slow learner

Who doesn't love a bake sale?  Your next choice will be a better one.

Your post hits home for me.  Last week they brought cupcakes and I had 1.  I felt like **** afterward and thought "what the hell are you doing woman?"  And me in what feels like I am stuck in the 170's land.  It didn't stop there.  The whole week I had little "mistakes" with nuts and cheese and milk.
I am afraid I won't make goal, once again, even with the sleeve," can't make it happen" kind of thinking and worry.
But you are not like that.  You made goal.  You are a success.  And to be human and normal arn't we supposed to eat everything within normal limits, like a normal person?
I think you are too hard on yourself.  You did not continue down a path of destruction.  You had 1.  Maybe next time 1/2?  Throw or give away the rest? An indulgence once a month or.....?
Wasn't this surgery all about being normal?
