| Has this happened to you? Yesterday, I let myself have a delicious, non SBD dessert after lunch for a special occasion (an amazing sundae), and planned to eat a totally safe SBD dinner that night (I'm on phase 2). Well, a short time later I thought, "well, since I"ve blown it already, I might as well have a couple pieces of candy." Of course that led to even more "forbidden" junk which I felt compelled to eat since it had turned into a non- SBD day. Of course I felt horrible last night (and this morning), totally guilty and disgusted with my lack of control. It wasn't a total binge (thank goodness), but it was a compulsive need to eat things I'm not allowed normally -- a bite of this cookie, a bowl of this custard. It's like I think I have to get it in before I'm on the diet again. Why couldn't I have just left it at that stupid sundae? I just had to multiply the damage by eating even more junk. Today I'm back on track witht the SBD plan, but boy I'd wish I'd learn from my mistakes once and for all!!!! Can you relate? |

| Been there and done that and it's not a good feeling! I do appreciate this message board though and the encouragement from everyone. So girlfriend, get back on track, drink an extra glass of water and forgive yourself. |

| I slip up every now and again too. It starts with something small, ( a bite of a sdw.), and turns into---well now that I have *cheated* I might as well eat pizza, onion rings, ice cream, wing dings, etc.!! Everything I can fit into a *binge*!!!!! :cry: It's all about (in my head) "When am I going to have the chance to eat this stuff again?!?!". :wink: |

| manda -- that is EXACTLY what goes through my head! The question is, how to break that illogical, irrational way of thinking and not make a slip a full out binge? It's a problem I've struggled with forever. |

| I haven't figured it out either! :? It must be that I think of food as a huge treat. (I was rewarded with food alot as a child) When I see people (women) out to eat having beer and pizza, burgers and fries, etc., I get incredibly jealous! :evil: Anyway, if you figure it out, let me know! :D |

| Well sometimes I do think that we "treat" ourselves and at the moment feel that way. But actually it is a great treat when we can finally get back into those jeans that we haven't been able to wear for some time, etc. When we think about treating ourselves with food, it's just destruction. Oh now let me say that I've done this all of my life. Just trying to break that habit more now. Hang in there ladies.....you're worth it!!! |

| I have cheated SO MANY times on SBD. But I still lost weight. I think the key is to think of it as a way of life, rather than a diet. Somehow it makes it easier to get back on the right track if you have that mindset. I would eat something I shouldn't, then start eating right again the next day. A few days later, I would do it again, then I would get back on track. I definitely lost weight slower, but I was glad about that because my feeling is that the slower you lose it, the longer you keep it off. I also never weighed myself. I just made a commitment to stay on the diet and to be strong. Then four months later everyone was ooohing and aaahing over how skinny I had gotten! |
