Don't beat yourself up Sarah. Get back on track, tomorrow's another day! xx
 
Hi Sarah, I just wanted to post you this exert from my diary written just a couple of weeks ago....

Oh cr*p, cr*p and more cr*p! I knew it was all going too well! :(

Was sticking so well to the diet and exercise regime but have just gone and blown it! Did a 2 mile walk this morning but decided to have a night off from the 4 mile stint on the cross trainer. Bad move. Sitting here on the pc and fancied chocolate. Aaahhh, slimfast bar in the drawer, perfect.

Slimfast bar was great. Then before I knew it I'd eaten almost all of a packet of Rocky bars and a packet of Niknaks too! :eek: :sigh: Oh cr*p.

Why do I do this to myself? I had been doing so well but the urge was just so strong and tonight I couldn't resist. Now I feel guilty as hell and really cross with myself. If this was just another normal diet then at this point I would decide I have failed and give up. End of. But I HAVE to get these last few pounds off before I see the dietician next Wednesday otherwise the op is off. And I really, really want the op. In truth the biscuits and crisps probably won't make that much difference to the scales but I just feel like I have let myself down again. This bloody eating thing does my head in sometimes! :(

Sorry to rant,
Cuppa xx

So there you have it, I've been through it too, as have many, many others on here.
Tomorrow is another day and you have to forget about the past and concentrate on the future. Your future!

Good luck hun, you can do it. :hug99:

Are you being too strict with yourself and then failing as you reach breaking point?

I ask this because I know you have to lose some weight before your surgery but being as you dont have your op date yet and are not on the pre op diet I wouldnt sweat it too much. Enjoy what you are eating, dont cut out everything bad, just cut out two or three bad things initially for example if you drink lots of sugar fizzies try to go over to sugar free, or if you like crisps half your usual intake over the next week or two, if you like to pig out on chocolate, try setting yourself a limit to how much you will allow yourself, dont cut it out completely not yet anyway. Stop weighing yourself, do it once a month.

I know how you are feeling it is part of the reason that has led to us needing wls, the surgeons and dieticians know this, dont be too hard on yourself. It sounds a bit like you may be being really really good then BAM its feast or famine.

I think by the time you are put on the pre op you will get your head round what is needed, something just seems to click when it matters. Just enjoy the foods you love in moderation while you can and leave being ultra good to when you have too.

hugs, and please dont be too hard on yourself.

Hi Sarah, my heart goes out to you as I know how hard you have been struggling for the last few months. Try not to be too hard on yourself Sweetie as we have/are all in the same boat - none of us have been able to diet successfully and keep it off long-term - if we had we wouldn't be having WLS.

Have you heard anything about your surgery at all?
Very knidest wishes to you.

Blew myself out of the water this weekend too! Friday to Sunday I've done KFC, 3 currys and bulldozed my way through 4, read them FOUR boxes of toffee poppets, cinema last night 3 read them THREE large portions of ben and jerrys chew chew.
I know why. Couldn't fit into a 30/32 coat at Evans, which I really need. With my 2 stone loss I thought I was on the way.
 
dont beat yourself up we all go thru it im a year post band and have just fell of the wagon so to speak but life is life and my journey is going to be a long one , i know look at it not what i have done wrong in past but how im going to do today nobody is perfect!! plus you are preop i put over a stone on pre op so good for you for loosing
 
As someone said above tomorrow is another day!

Remember "We cant change the past, we can only affect the future"

Just because you have had a blow out or a binge today doesnt mean you will tomorrow. Nip it in the bud, remember why your doing this and look forwards, i promise you from the bottom of my heart, it will be worth it.
