Accidental mistake number two…
Since Sunday night I have been having nightmares (not waking up screaming ones but you know, unpleasant) that I forgot that I was on a diet and just ate something without thinking. Then in the dream, my diet was ruined and my weight went up. Just goes to show you how obsessed I am with this. Anywho, the day was going great, I woke up and as you may have read lost 4lbs. I was pumped up, the food even tasted better because I ate it knowing how much good it was doing. Then, helping my Mom lost her car keys and handed me her purse to look through. I looked around, no keys, but I spotted a box of tic tacs (white, my favorite) without thinking I shoved 3 in my mouth and then continued looking. After all was done I saw the box again and was about to reach out for more when I remembered… NO SUGAR! I was only to have SUGAR FREE stuff, even gum had to be sugar free and I had just had 3 darn tic tacs! So most people would think, darn, oh well it was just 3 tic tacs, they are small no biggie, move on. Nope, not me… it’s getting on my nerves. I feel like it threw me all off. I’m not sure how the mechanics of this diet (South Beach) works but I wonder if that made a difference. I’ve said in another blog that little mistakes tend to get to me, and this one really erks me.
Anyway I made an awsome dinner (with no mistakes). This diet isn’t too bad. Yeah I miss a lot of stuff, I keep reminding myself that I want to loose the weight more than I want that food. Once I eat I feel full and while I’m eating I enjoy it. I’d recommend this diet… well I guess it’d be better if I waited a few more pounds before I go out and spread the word hehe. I also get to have dessert, which tonight will be 1 cup 1%Milk with some sugar free chocolate syrup. Yum, I’ll save it until the baby is asleep and I’m in my pjs comfy watching something recorded on my DVR.
The DVR thing brings me back to another topic way off the subject of weightloss. I wish my husband was more loving. I mean he will watch TV with my but he sits up against one side of the couch without touching me or looking my way. If I reach out to put my legs on him or something, well he doesn’t always push em off but it’s like they aren’t even there. He doesn’t move an inch towards me or put his hand on them or anything. When we started dating he was really cuddley, I wonder if it’s the change in my body. I was a decent size back then, then I had the baby and all. I wonder if it’s that or if he just thinks he doesn’t have to do that stuff anymore cause we are married. He says he just wants to relax, but I don’t know whats so unrelaxing about laying with your wife. I don’t even want him to face me, he can watch TV, why is it not relaxing to get all comfy with me and wrap his arm around me while watching the Heat game? I wonder what that’s about. Anyway, sorry for the rant that was so unrelated to loosing weight lol.

I haven’t been on south beach, but most people have a cheat day and still lose weight without a problem, so three tic tacs isn’t bad for a cheat day =)
I have those weird scary dreams too! One night I dreamed that I drank soda (mountain dew) and tons of it. I wasn’t upset because of the calories, or any weight gain, but because how bad that stuff is for you…
I don’t think what makes us succeed is never eating a cookie again, but what we do after eating that cookie. Do we just enjoy the cookie, calculate it into our calories and move on? Or does the cookie become cake, chips and more food?
If you have a bad calorie day, it will not ruin your weight loss. I am not on a diet, this is the rest of my life. The next day I can do better.
As long as you keep doing better and moving forward, you will get there! “One step back, three steps forward” or however that quote goes
I don’t know much about the South Beach diet, but don’t worry about the tic tacs, as long as your not going over your calorie goal, you should be fine!
Try not to worry about it… well, something tells me you still will (lol), but please try not to
As for your husband, why not tell him how you’re feeling and ask him what and how he’s feeling? Try to stay more in touch with each other, don’t let things like that go too long or build up too much.
And no need to be sorry for the rant, hell that wasn’t even a rant (lol), we talk about so much more than weight loss here ~ just talk about whatever’s on your mind that you feel like sharing
We are all here to listen. 3 tick tacks is nothing. Please don’t worry about that you are doing awesome. That is just your mind playing tricks on you telling you that you ruined everything. Don’t listen to it.
As for your husband I would ask him about it like the post above said don’t let things like that go too long or build up too much. I hope you feel better about it all very soon.
Sorry about that.
I’ve tried to talk about it, he says it’s my imagination
then gets angry. ::sigh:: anywho yeah after I splet off the worry I am now a bit better about the silly tic tac thing lol, I didn’t gain weight so yeah, it’ll be ok hehe.Thank you guys, you are all so supportive. It helps a lot.
