I PANICKED!!!!

Posted by Unknown on October 09, 2012 5 comments
I had a bizarre situation happen to me this weekend that threw me for a major loop!! We were at someone's house for supper (which we do alot) and I was able to eat the corn and meatballs.

I was quite pleased with myself with my food choices and was feeling full and satisfied and really enjoying the visiting.

When what to my ears do I hear??? THE PERSON THAT MADE THE CORN PUT SUGAR IN IT!!! I panicked!! I actually flipped out, I felt like I was going to throw up! I was quite upset!! Visions of all the sizes coming back onto my body overnight were going through my head! I wanted to cry!!

As soon as I got home, I emailed Jennifer who helped me to put it into perspective: It wasn't my free will!

I didn't even taste the sugar, I thought the person who made it had just gotten a really good batch of corn.

IT WASN'T MY FREE WILL

Then as I calmed down, I realized, alot of condiments have sugar in them.

So as I calm down more, and continue on (being extrememly careful these next few days of what I am doing and eating) I am treating the corn as a condiment. I did drain the liquid off from the spoon because I didn't want all the butter that was on it, (little did I know). My hunger hasn't escalated, so I think I am fine.

I was quite scared and upset. Of course, I can't even tell you the bizarre dreams I have had since about gaining it all back!!!

But I feel like now things are continuing on the right way... PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had a similar situation a couple weeks ago at a pig roast. Family event, great time and figured how could I go wrong with eating the pork, right?

    I had breakfast and went early to help set up and the pig was being served for 5, no problem until I heard the cook saying they make the sauce with orange & pineapple juice (my mind shut down after that so I didn't hear the other ingredients). What to do, not having any other options and not being able to go without eating or leaving early I ate the pork but tried to take what wasn't bathing in the sauce.

    This weighed heavy on my mind and in the end I felt I owned this "diet" and it wouldn't hurt me if I didn't react. Like you, Linda, I was very careful in the days following but haven't seen any difference. In fact I am wearing pants today that I've been waiting to get into...it feels great!!

      Oh my! Why would someone put that kind of sauce on a roasted pig! LOL! We do alot of pig roasts for people and set up bar-b-que sauce and gravy on the serving table for people to choose from!!

      Sounds like you are doing good Lynn!!! CONGRATS!!!

      I feel like I own it also! But from old habits and old fears get worried and scared that something will mess it up. I have been doing this for almost 11 months and have not intentionally strayed, I feel like I certainly own it!!!! and that is a good feeling!!

      Thanks for posting Lynn, it is good to know others have had things happen too and came out of it fine!!

      I still have one question that I would love to ask the corn person: "WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU PUT SUGAR IN FRESH BUTTERED CORN???" LOL!!!

      I am glad that I could "come to the rescue"!!!!!! That's how I felt when I went to a rehearsal dinner a little over a week ago, and at the restaurant, the grooms mom brought her "world famous horseradish sauce" to go with the prime rib dinner we were eating. I casually asked her what was in it: heavy cream, salt, pepper, horseradish, and sugar! Me being the diplomat, not wanting to cause a scene, I took some, and kind of moved it around the plate, kind of pretending to eat it. There was NO WAY I could put any of it in my mouth. Thank you Julie!!! But, Linda is right. If I hadn't of asked what was in it, I probably would have eaten it. That is the free will aspect of what Julie asks of us----

    You are right - it was NOT your free will, and I had learned do not obsess over it and things will be ok.

    I personally have had a different issue all together, and it plagues me a bit. I finished my sessions with Julia around the end of August. I have the.most. horrible cravings around PMS time (does anyone else?) I have been able to make it through ... until this past weekend. I ate some Keebler grasshopper cookies. I am attempting to put it behind me and move on. Doing just as awesome as before - meat, veggie etc.

    I think I am needing a place to admit that I did it and also ask if anyone thinks I should call and make an appt. again with Julie ... I don't want to go back to what I used to do. I have lost almost 2 sizes in just these two months and I have been doing so good ...

    Advice?
