I've Got A Feeling....

s1mon3 · 01-26-2006, 08:50 AM

I may have a cheat day coming in the near future..We are going home for a few days next week..they have one of my favorite fast food joints there. White Castle!!! Theresa do you miss them too?

Pray with me for my strength ya'll..

Msmbrad · 01-26-2006, 09:08 AM

Hang in there you can do it!

Believe me it takes a lot of will power not to eat things that are off plan with my husband around.This weekend it was Persian Cinnamon Buns & he brought home a box of Russel Stovers chocolates last night.

s1mon3 · 01-26-2006, 09:22 AM

Wow Marybeth..and you were able to resist? Good job!

I am going to give it my all next weekend..that is all I can do! Thanks for the inspiration!

Marisa68 · 01-26-2006, 09:41 AM

I had a cheat night on Tuesday....Dominoes pizza!! I felt soooooo guilty afterwards, but I just drank alot of water and jumped right back on board the next morning.

I made the excuse that it is just about TOM>>that evil TOM alternate personality

Be strong girl!

I think cheating is all relative. When I had my over 500 day cheat free streak, I knew I needed to be focused and extremely strict with myself. I knew if I cheated it would set up horrible negative feelings that would/could lead to a binge and me saying "what the heck" and forgetting it all. Now, if I have a french fry or two, or an order of nuggets from Wendy's I know I can handle it. That was not always the case. I'd say, if you know you will be beating yourself up for days or weeks don't cheat. DH and I had a dinner party the first week we were on Phase 1 and there was all my favorite food (turkey, dressing, mac and cheese, cheesecake, the works) at this party but I didn't cave. I realized that I wanted to be thin more than I wanted that momentary pleasure in my mouth. I wanted to feel like a winner and not the loser I usually felt like when I caved and cheated.

On the other hand, if you know you can get right back on program and won't beat yourself up over a cheat or two then go for it! But get right back on as soon as you can. We all have talked about how this is for life so there will occasions when you want something that's a little different from what you normally eat. Whatever you decide to do Marlette, we are here for you girl!

Yankee Belle · 01-26-2006, 02:38 PM

OOOhhhh Marlette...I can totally sympathize! White Castles!! You all just don't know what she's up against here! These are the best little hamburgers you would ever hope to put in your mouth. They have Krystals down here in the South but they just can't compare.

Now I'm missing Michigan... White Castles, Coney Islands, Vernors! Arghhhh! Ok, I'm missing Michigan's FOOD!

I don't know what to say here Marlette. I'd like to say "Stay on plan no matter what...they're just not worth it"... but the trouble is, I've HAD White Castles and...don't kill me everyone...they're totally worth it!

Ok ok...I'm not being very supportive, am I?

Seriously Marlette, try to be strong but if you cave in, don't beat yourself up over it. Just hop back on *right away*. Whatever you do, don't pull a 'Theresa' and think "Well, I messed up anyhow, so I'll eat whatever I want until tomorrow". That's been my doom more times than I care to count. And if you have to have them, keep it to just a couple instead of the 5 or 6 that most people get. There wouldn't be too much guilt involved there. They're small.

s1mon3 · 01-26-2006, 04:19 PM

Theresa I knew you would understand. There is nothing like White Castle..I have had Crystals here and I was really disappointed.

Maybe it's a good thing that I moved away from home. I don't have all those things like Coney Island and White Castle to eat all the time. I would probably be 300 pounds if I was still there. White Castle is 24 hours and they serve hamburgers all day!

I am telling myself that I have no room for cheating right now. But if I do slip, I will only allow myself 3 and that is it. The good thing is we will only be there for 3 days..I can't imagine eating them 3 days in a row..

I will let you all know the outcome..

Yankee Belle · 01-27-2006, 08:13 AM

You know Marlette, after I went home I felt sort of bad about what I had written here. I really should have tried to help you be strong instead of saying "those White Castles are just too good to pass on". I'm sorry for that.
I guess it just goes to show that I'm weak, weak, weak! Even *thinking* about certain foods makes me want to cheat.
I hope you have more strength than I do! If you feel that you have no room for cheating, then don't do it. Hold fast and strong. And I will be prouder of you than anyone because I know the temptations you're facing.
Either way

to ya!

justmarvi · 01-27-2006, 09:47 AM

Hi Marlette! Oh mercy, good luck with your decision! Glad you're on board with us!

s1mon3 · 01-27-2006, 02:36 PM

Thanks Marva..and you too Theresa

don't feel bad about your advise..Ultimately it will be one me to decide..I appreciate your inout though..

Not a great decision on my part, but I have to live with it and move on.

Good luck making your decision

justmarvi · 01-27-2006, 05:50 PM

Marlette, I was at the grocery store this afternoon and saw boxes of those little white castles burgers in the freezer section, and I thought of you.

I'm cheering for you! How long are you going to be away to be tempted?

s1mon3 · 01-27-2006, 09:49 PM

Hey Marva..love the avatar! You look good Momma!

I am planning to be home for 3 days only Superbowl weekend..we are from Detroit, and my husband just does not think it is right for him not to be home Super Bowl weekend and the game will be played there..it's not like he has tickets or anything..Men..

I thank you all for your advice and well wishes..I will let you know how it went...

Stay tuned..Praying for the best..

justmarvi · 01-29-2006, 03:04 PM

Thanks Marlette,

3 days isn't bad, you guys have fun!

tree0164 · 01-30-2006, 08:00 AM

I don't even know what white castles are but stay strong. how about bringing some of your fave South Beach food along. Can you make a mock white castle burger ?

Heck it maybe too crazy to even venture out to the fast food joints around Detriot Superbowl weekend.
