Do you ever wish you could get a refund on calories consumed, especially when the food was gross? After working another 11 hour day, I still had to drive home, grocery shop at two different stores, carry in groceries in the rain and make dinner before I could finally eat at 8 pm. So to tide myself over I figured a snickers couldn't be THAT bad for me, even got dark chocolate thinking maybe it would be slightly less calories. Ha, no, it was hard as a rock, hurt my teeth, didn't taste like much AND I wasted 250 calories and 13 grams of fat!!! Who do I see about getting a refund on those calories?:sad:

    Some one at work yesterday got a bunch of sugar cookies with the thick frosting and everything on them. I thought...how bad can one small little piece be? I took one bit and thought....ok, that really isnt that good so I threw the rest away. Not a refund, more of a refusal to accept delivery. :laugh: :laugh: If your going to cheat ALWAYS MAKE IT WORTH IT!!

    LOL!!

    After work we had beers, I could afford those, but the fried crips I ordered along with bbq, ranch, and some other sauce I cannot remember....I would like a refund for those...disgusting.

    I find when I am near the slippery slope and don't back away and end up at the store or a fast food place....by the time I get home I SO WISH I could drop everything back off for a $$$ refund before I even eat it.....I do throw it away often but realize how much money is wasted...yes, better than a binge... but still ....well come to think of it that is HUGE progress, not eating it but now to stop buying it only to toss it:blushing: :laugh: :laugh: :sad:

    Exactly.....honestly, I don't think it was a conscious decision to keep eating it.....I just kept doing it. I think making my tummy stop rumbling was my main priority.

    Uh, yeah not after an 11 hour work day and a week that has been beyond mentally draining.

    This IS a learning process - good on you for even thinking about it - till a week ago i ate everything I wanted when ever I wanted [I didnt even know the basics] but im here to learn and to change and if it is hard at the start then so be it - rome wasnt built in a day .............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm snickers

    Exactly! I didn't mean it as a snarky comment at all. I meant it as something to think about. It is a HUGE learning process, and hopefully next time if you're not enjoying it and it's not worth it you can think back and remember this feeling and throw it out!
