chocolate chip cookies

I will be six weeks out from surgery on Monday...yay.  I have lost right around 30 pounds.  My scales are not digital...so it is hard to know exactly.  Tonight my family was wanting chocolate chip cookies...so I made some (the already made dough kind).  I had a nibble of the raw dough and then ate 1/2 a cookie.  Then I stopped...knowing it wasn't the best choice.  I am kind of disgusted with myself.  True, that before surgery, I would frequently eat 6-8 cookies and soem dough as well and not think a thing about it...so a nibble of dough and 1/2 a cookie isn't aweful...but still feel badly.  I love chocolate...but don't want to.  Anyway...just thought I'd share my goof...

Hope you all are having a lovely weekend. 

 I wouldn't feel bad about it, you exhibited great self control and still got what you wanted. If you focus on that as a success rather than the cookie as a failure, then your journey will be a great success. I think somehow as lifelong dieters we got it into our heads that if we screw up the diet is a failure. We need to get back in the saddle and ride.

Very true. Thanks for your post!

I am five months post op. I was in a grocery store today and they were giving away samples of chocolate chip cookies. I tried a bite and got this aweful taste n my mouth. I ended up spitting it out, tasted like metal. I wonder what they did to my taste buds while I was in the hospital, lol.

Ha, funny. They messed with your sweet meter.
