So I ate 4 pickles in a 30 minute time span. Although they are no calories I stil feel guilty for eating them! But i do LOVE pickles. It kept me from going to the chip cabinet! I know theyr loaded with sodium and I am drinking the water to fix that problem.....so why do I feel guilty!?! Is there something that I am missing? can I really have one thing I do LOVE?!

    Four pickles? Really? That's nothing to feel guilty about. Four slices of cake, sure, but pickles?
    Although let's be clear: they do have calories. Don't know why you'd think they don't: food is food.

    Don't feel guilty about it, though. Be happy and satisfied with what you eat--it helps form a better relationship with food.

    The nutrition facts on the jar and my food planner both say no calories for as many as i put down......

    I wouldn't beat yourself up over it! The sodium is not so good, but oh well!!! You are flushing out your system, and you're aware of it so that's what counts! If you feel that badly about it, just remember, you still have the rest of the day to make great choices! :bigsmile:

    This is what I'm telling myself as well.... it's TOM for me and I just ate a chocolate donut :noway: lol oh well!

    Why would you beat yourself up about it. Do you feel guilty every time you eat anything?
