Do you feel guilty when you eat something that you know made you fat in the past, but you are still under your goal for the day.
Happened to me yesterday........I love cheese coneys and used to eat about 4-5 at a time. Yesterday I had 1 but still felt like
scum after I ate it. Am I the only one that feels this way? LH

    Yes. Sometimes I do feel this way.

    But think about how far you've come. You ate 1. Not 4 or 5. That's really awesome! That takes a lot of self control. You should feel proud. That's a big step. Don't beat yourself up. :wink:

    No because I think everything is allowed, just not 24/7.

    No I don't feel guilty as long as I eat in moderation. If I am under my daily calories and I ate more than just doughnuts then I am happy and proud of myself.

    Sometimes but I don't believe in cutting any foods out all together. All is good in moderation.

    When I eat it in moderation, no. When I over indulge, yes. I think you did absolutely fine by eating 1. I've found that for myself I can't completely cut something out, even if I know it isn't good for me because I'm in this for the rest of my life and I know I won't go the rest of my life without a Reese Cup. :) Good job only having one! :)

    Nope. The only time I feel guilt is when I overdo it, because by now I KNOW I'm overdoing it. I feel a little regret sometimes when I don't exercise enough to allow certain things for that particular day, but I refuse to feel guilt about eating the things I love and I work them into my daily allottments.

    I feel guilty too but you are doing an amazing job! :) It's hard because I associate eating my addictions (like chocolate) with how I ate in the past, and I have to remind myself that I am in a long journey to change...so are we all!

    I had McDonald's for breakfast and Panera for lunch. I am -3 on my cals before a workout and over 100 gms protein.

    No need to beat yourself up over food.

    I feel guilty sure but I'm trying to make my mindset to not feel guilty as long as I'm under the calories and macros. I mean, I love icecream and I know I'm not going to live the rest of my life without icecream. Why would I want to live a life without icecream and I sure as hell don't want to live the rest of my life in guilt. As long as I use such foods like a "treat" rather than a norm, I am training myself to not feel guilty over them.

    If I eat too much of the bad thing and it puts me way over my calories, the guilt sets in. BUT if I can manage to fit a bit of the bad thing and still be ok with my calorie intake for the day then I feel good :)

    I do feel guilty when I eat food that isn't in my dietary guidelines, which is all organics, no perservatives, no additives, etc. I know this is a stupid one, i was sick as a dog a few weeks ago, couldn't eat, so i bought Ginger Ale, the only soda I can tolerate. I felt awful for drinking it though... CRAZY right?

    Not when the portion is reasonable....only when I really go crazy despite my promises to myself not to do so.

    I'm trying to get over that feeling! Especially if i'm with in the calorie goal. What's to feel bad about?! Nuffin !

    So, I can say to you.... ''Way to Go! you Only had one! You did AWESOME today!'' You ate it and it wasn't a trigger to have 3 or 4 more! That's a Huge accomplishment for you!

    I only feel guilty when I eat processed meats, even when it fits into my goals for the day. I know I shouldn't eat kolbasa, hot dogs, sausage, bacon and my worst one--lunch meat. It makes my fingers swell up from the nitrites. The worst part is I love the stuff and still do occasionally eat it.

    Btw, Congrats on eating just ONE! That truly is progress. You're doing so well, don't beat yourself up about it. You stayed within your goals. That;s the important part!
