My first OOC Day...Booo!
Posted 09-03-2009 at 03:41 PM by Keptewe
It finally happened. After a little over six months of LC'ing and having reached goal about six weeks ago, I finally had an OOC day. "OOC" as in OUT OF CONTROL!!! Totally threw in the towel when it came to eating.
I'm not sure what happened. I have been having a little more trouble this entire week with eating LC. The day started out okay with some scrambled eggs. Working in the cold rain made homemade tomato soup an obvious choice and although not super LC...not bad.
It was in the afternoon, watching a movie with Hannah, that things went so bad. It was those DANG wine gums. I thought, "I'll just have ONE...just to take the nasty, stale taste out of my mouth." Well...I don't know how many wine gums later but I suspect at least 700 calories, and 300 carbs worth later...the die was cast and it went downhill from there. I ate...corn chips and cheese dip, almonds, pasta with marinara and meatballs, more candy (sour peaches and the like) and a large glass of white wine.
By 9:30pm I felt terrible and decided to go to bed. I woke up this morning...suitably contrite and with a monster headache. Okay, okay....I deserved that. Along with a (temporary, I'm sure) gain of 2 lbs...the scale screamed, " 143...Take that!" Fair enough. I think I learned my lesson.
Naturally, my lack of control is a little unnerving. How could I so quickly cave? This has not happened since I started LC'ing. I have certainly eated "off plan" but it was determined and controlled.
I feel a little ashamed too.
But, today, I am back on track. I have been very strict with my consumption and, no doubt, the damage will be reversed by tomorrow morning. At least the "scale damage" will be reversed...the damage to my confidence? Well, THAT'S another story.
Peace out all!

I had a day like that last Halloween. I was sitting there with the bowl in my lap and suddenly, half of it was in my mouth.
SUGAR IS A DEMON!  Good luck with getting back on the cart and riding it right. |
