Put Down the Oreo Cookie Bar!

[becka]

Aaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh! I am so disgusted with myself. This is the 4th day in a row that I fell off the wagon and promised myself I would get back with the program only to have it happen all over again. I just need ONE good day when I stay on points. I need that momentum to keep me going. Why am I being so self-destructive?

Here is some pixie dust for you to stay within your points!!

Becka, it is all up to you, you are the only one who can control what goes into your body. I know you can do it, take charge, take control and it will happen.

You really don't want to know do you? Actually they are a bar of Oreo cookie topped with peanut butter and then dipped in chocolate fudge. They are quite tasty and at 4 pts a piece they can be had but not very often.

I've done the same with those kittykat choc cookies from Trader Joes. They are only 2 pts for around 20 (I think). Well, I ate about 10 points of them once!!!! I just worked it into the points for the day and "got back on that horse" . It's hard to have such good things around as treats, but you know what - its getting easier every day, and I even chose strawberries over ice cream last night - OH MY GOODNESS !!

Hi Becka!
Just checking in on you to see how your day is going! Drink your water. Plan those points. Get moving!

Once you are back on plan, things will get easier. Just take it one day at a time. Like Katholyn says.... don't worry about yesterday. Think about today! Don't worry about if you are going to blow it this time, or how. Just think about today.

Oh - and throw those Oreo cookie bars away.....

I don't know if this will help, but why not cut it into 4 pieces, and allow yourself one piece a day. Or how about making a deal with yourself. For each piece you allow yourself to eat, do 5 minutes of exercise in exchange. I know when I try to completly avoid foods I like I become obsessed with eating them. It might make the transition a little easier.

 

[ohMom]

i have one of those in my purse! I went to an all-day scrapathon last Saturday and they gave us each one. I didn't eat then b/c I wanted a couple Nestles treasures instead! Long story, ending with my falling off the wagon too! I better send that in my DDs lunch tomorrow!

C'mon Becka........we can get back OP together!!

GREAT question! I see myself in the same situation sometimes. I wish I had a good answer for you. I don't think I consciously plot to work against myself, but I know there have been times when I haven't felt really good about myself and those are the times I've gone off plan (ie: I don't deserve to feel thin/feel good about myself)

How have you been feeling lately? Any hidden sore spots you have been trying to smooth over in your life/in your psyche? Did you have a visit from or encounter with someone who has caused you pain or grief or worry in the past? Have any old feelings of unworthiness come back to haunt you?

Hang in there, Becka! MAKE TODAY the on point day. If you find something in your hand that doesn't belong there, THROW IT AWAY before you finish it (and don't think, "I paid for that, what am I doing throwing money away?") Just do it!

We are all here for you! I went to Chef Mickey's last night and ate until the cows came home. During dinner I thought, "What am I doing?" but I didn't stop. I felt like the one bite of mashed potatoes I had was enough to put me over, so why not go all the way? I wish I could say I enjoyed it, but I didn't. It was like I ate it to punish myself for going off plan a little. Weird! Back on plan today with lots of exercise thrown in. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back on track!!!!!! A few days isn't enough to derail you!!!!!

Hugs, TigH. xo

Hi becka,

Don't give up - a few bad days does not equal give up - Just your posting here proves you want to get back on track - and you will! Thats what this board is for - to get help, inspiration and motivation - Keep trying and I know you will do it!!

 

[Beanie]

Becka, I hope you are having a better day today!! Hugs and you can do it!! We all have faith in you!!

By the way, I can see why you did eat one, those sound yummy! I can't have any though on Atkins!

Hugs!

I LOVE those PB Orea Cookie Bars!

BUT --

I lost 5 lbs on my first week now on Jenny Craig and I'm determined! Plus, their protein bars (that we eat once a day), is like a PB/Chocolate Fudgy thing that satisfies my craving for those Oreo bars.

Hang in there with the rest of us and keep positive! Don't let that bar get the better of you and DON'T KEEP THEM AROUND!

Becka, you're here! I hadn't seen you around on the community board and search was down so I came over here looking for you. I was afraid you or some of your family had problems with the tornadoes! Glad to see you're okay - and put down the oreo cookie bar!

I wasn't trying to hide...I promise!

Thankfully we are all safe although it was a rough Sunday afternoon/evening. There were strong storms and tornadoes popping up all around us. At one point about 4 of the counties surrounding our county had tornado warnings!!! Not a fun way to spend the evening.

I have put down the oreo cookie bars and I am really working hard to stay on points today. Last night after I ate the cookie bar and came here to post I went and did the 1 mile WATP video so at least the evening was not a total loss. I hope to do the 1 mile video again tonight and I am just planning on eating a Healthy Choice meal, an apple, lots of water and maybe some strawberries with fat free Cool Whip for dessert. I have 13-20 points left for the day so I think I will be OK and maybe even on the low end for points today.

Thanks for the support. I am not really feeling down about anything although I am starting to stress about this weekend's party for DS a little and that may be some of the reason for me going over points. At least the overeating I did this weekend was not as bad as I would have done in the past and that has to count for something.

Becka-

When you're craving chocolate, have you tried any of the frozen fudge bars? Last week I got the Healthy Choice brand which is low fat and has 90 calories. They're good - DDs love them - and not hard as rocks or chalky tasting as other fudgesicles that are low fat.

Have a great day!
Lois

For anyone who likes Milky Ways, the new WW 2 pt bar - Caramel Chocolate tastes very close to one of those. I bought a couple of boxes, and when my hubby eats a snickers (my FAV!) or candy bar, I pull out one of those and it really is so good.

Becka, you've really had a rough few days, haven't you?

About those Oreo bars- what the heck are those things doing in your house? Get them OUT of there! Try to keep healthy food on hand, and ready for snacking. Slice up some fruit, some celery, some carrots, and keep them in the fridge so you can just grab when you need them. Maybe keep some fat-free ranch dressing for dipping.

The Oreo bars, the brownies, the chips- anything else that is too tempting right now, needs to be BANISHED FROM YOUR HOUSE. I'm serious!!! If the treats are for DH and you feel that he needs them, STORE THEM IN THE TRUNK OF HIS CAR. Really. Otherwise, give them away or throw them out. Much better the evil treats go to waste than go to waist, yes?

If you can take control of the foods that are allowed into your house, it won't be nearly so hard to take control of what you eat.
