I have a confession....

[krow134]

I seriously sat here today with a glass of milk and a brand new pack of those cool mint oreo's..............and ate the whole dang package!!!!!!!

Now talk about a UUAUD!!!!!!!!!! OMG that package had to be well over 3000 calories!!!!!!

I was watching the NASCAR race and eating and next thing I knew they were gone!!!!!!!!!! The best aprt was I didnt kick myself........I ran my mile and said tomorrow will be the best DD I have ever had!!!!!!!!

I do love JUDDD!!!!!!!! This little stumble isnt but a small bump in the long run of things!!!!! Thank god JUDDD forgives!!!!!!!!!

[brewstate]

Woah! Color me impressed and sounds delicious. Nom Nom. Haven't had oreo's in a while. Now you're giving me ideas

[krow134]

lol!!! My daughter bought them for me as a surprize. I love oreo's but I know better than to have them in the house. Its because things like that happen!!!! My daughter said because I have been so awesome buying them stuff for the summer she was giving me those as a thank you!!!

[gotsomeold]

The info on Oreo's should just go ahead and say "one serving size = one package" and be done with it!

YES!!! I agree!!!

[Muffabuff]

It is done! Move on. You can always relive it in your dreams.

[theredhead]

I'm capable of scarfing down quite a few calores, so I've learned that there are a lot of things I can't have in my house. I have to do most of my indulging when we go out, lol.

[sunday]

I love your attitude Katie! Been craving homemade cake or pie, but I know I can't have it in the house period. I would keep cutting a piece until it was gone!

[Abby]

I've never found that a brief binge derails me AS LONG AS I get right back on the wagon. That said, there have been times when a small binge becomes a several day phenomena.......

Good Luck,

[laceylady]

I happened to stop at 1/2 a package of the Keebler Coconut Dreams -- the ones similar to the Girl Scout "Samoas". I guess I'd feel better if I'd had the milk, but I had a Chai Latte, a bowl of ice cream with strawberries, some crackers... and DH's son fixed us lunch for Father's Day -- a pork chop roughly 2" thick, beer/cheese soup and garlic bread (I left the pesky salad alone, tho!). I guess it's another one of those weekends. Yesterday was a birthday/going away party for my son, DIL and grandsons and I ate more than I should have. But tomorrow's a DD and I'll be fine. Again.

[tobelowcarber]

Been there, done that. Glad you have enjoyed it and moving on to DD

[zipp2play]

Girl, I completely understand. Peanut butter M&M's are NOT allowed in my house. Small bag, medium or even the XL bag, IF OPEN in my house means I work my way through it till it is all gone!

Dust off the cookie crumbs and move on. Good attitude!

[Joyjoy]

Katie, I love this story. It cracks me up. Although I cannot stand minty Oreos, I spent WAY too long with a grocery cashier last night explaining my problem with Skinny Cows. I buy them in packs of six, and I eat them four at a time. Why do I continue to buy them? I have no idea. I don't buy chips - no way am I balanced enough for that, yet - I don't buy sweet chocolate, I don't buy Twizzlers. It's so strange to see what affects each of us! I can have a freezer full of regular ice cream for my lovely man. No problem. But you can't tear me off those Skinny Cows.

[gotsomeold]

Twizzlers.... ..... mmmmmm

VERY thought-provoking thread!

[jodeeras]

Same thing happened to me last week. My daughter said, "Here's a present for you mom." It was a package of the peanut butter oreo cookies. Luckily, she had eaten 2 of the 3 sleeves. I did eat the rest (with milk). I can't have them in the house, but I did eat them without guilt for the first time in many years.

[brewstate]

Today has been very stressful already so I decided I was going to "waste" a huge amount of my calories on something I haven't had in about 5 years. Its 9:30 AM and I've already eaten 850 calories of homemade rice krispy treats Hit the spot perfectly and they tasted just as good as I remembered. Now to finish off my UD with a healthier finish but wow did I enjoy that.

That's me too! I have a whole lot of trigger foods so I try to enjoy them when I eat out. I have talked about my issues with tortilla chips- any chips really. If they are in the house, a whole huge bag is gone by the end of the day.

At a restaurant, when they bring the hot luscious basket of "crack" tortilla chips, I can't wait to dive bomb into the basket. My hand becomes this machine that is like a robot and moves from the basket to my mouth, to the basket to my mouth. The only thing that prevents me from inhaling the basket is I would be so embarrassed to not leave half for whoever I was sharing the meal with. Sometimes I mentally divide the basket in half, eat my share and then sit and stare at it to see if the other person is not going to finish "their half".

Last time I went with a friend, she said, "uh... you sure love those chips, don't you!" Yep, yep I do.

[tobelowcarber]

I have noticed one thing, I usually go overboard when I am alone at home. I would not binge the way I do if someone was watching me eat. Anyone else notice the same?

[sunday]

My boxer and chocolate lab come to the kitchen and stare even when I am fixing a drink. I am embarrassed to admit that this is enough to keep me from snacking! My lab is about 10 to 15 lbs overweight, and if she can't have snacks then neither can I.

[sunday]

Beverly, I have a STRONG love for tortilla chips, but the deal is that I really love the salsa & would look silly eating salsa with a spoon. So, I made myself a deal when I began low carb and JUDDD, when eating at Mexican restaurants, I can only have 10 chips, which is 19 carbs. No flour or corn tortillas w/ my meal and I can have as much salsa, guaco and veggies as I want. It is very hard, but if I go overboard, then I really have hell to pay. Although, sometimes, I forgo the chips for the margarita.

[LeenieX]

I had peanut butter cups for breakfast today. They were all I could think about yesterday while I was eating my damn cabbage

I could easily eat a package of Oreos. I love when they get a little soft.

I certainly know how that happens. I remember incidents similar.....

I had to make a new habit for myself of never eating anything out of the package or box! If I don't count out a portion or weigh out the portion first, I can't take it out of the kitchen to munch on. I just can't go back to being a *free range* eater!

sadly, I did start out with two servings on a napkin. Went back and thought, oh 1 more serving (which is only 2 cookies by the way.....just not enough!). The third trip in was when I just brought the package with me. But I was a nervous wreck watching the race!!!! But the cookies were a good thing in the end cause Dale Jr finally won his first race in 4 years!!!! I prob worked off half the cookie calories jumping and screaming in my living room!!!!

But I am here to report, as of today after the whole cookie issue, followed by a great DD, I have hit a new low for me of 167 this am!!! I know I cant claim it yet. I will always hit a new low, bounce back up and down right above it, then boom next week its mine to claim!!!! <----learned my little pattern!! So glad JUDDD forgives when we screw up!!!

HUGE congratulations on the new low reading! And if you've seen it once, you'll be seeing it again shortly with JUDDD! Woo Hoo!

And the part about JUDDD forgiving us when we screw up... I've counted on that more than once!

[sunday]

Ah that is great!!!! New low!!! I think your cookie's helped!

[Babsbabs]

That is great on the new low Tanya!Happy that you had fun too!
