almost ate some m&m's today...... without knowing...
 

I was unpacking grocerys today and I gave my daughter some M&m's in a bowl and I put the rest of the pack on the counter... and when I was done unpacking I grabbed the bag, poured a handful into my hand and they came within 3 inches of my mouth before I realized what I was ACTUALLY doing!! Like I didnt even REALIZE I was eating candy...

that incident woke me up.. I had to put the cookies and candy in another spot in the cabinets where Im not frequently looking in durring the day...


I almost blew it today without even knowing!! eek...

good for you catching yourself goodgirl :roll:

On the bright side, at least an accident with "chocolates" would be infinitely superior pleasure-wise to, say, an accident with white bread?

Talk about more bang for the buck! After all, in my view, chocolate is truly the *single" greatest flavor in the world.

Isn't that terrible?? When the things we do are so second-nature that we don't even think about doing them? It's like driving to work. You just do it... day after day after day so it gets to the point where you don't even think about it anymore.

Kind of scary to think that this is the point where we've gotten to with our food. I completely understand. I've caught myself doing this before. The way my family eats is terrible. It looks like a candy store/bakery around here. They love their sweets. I just have to completely avoid the stuff!

Good for you that you caught yourself in time. Came out of your "trance" before you did the deed. :)

I TOTALLY understand!! I have done the same thing many times in the beginning. Luckily you caught yourself though!! :-)

I did the same sort of thing! I was in a restraunt with my neice and she ordered chocolate milk and it cave very big and full so I took a big gulp so it wouldn't spill! then I caught my self and went to the bathroom a spit it out! close call though. :p

Oh I think we have all done that in the early days, LOL, I certianly remember spitting stuff out after I realized what I just did :p Old habits don't die easy, do they :eek:

You sound like me 2 days ago. There was an oatmeal pie on the counter. I grabbed it and halfway to my mouth I was like what am I doing??? I had not even realized it.

mmmm.....M&Ms. *drool*

I have to catch myself from licking the knife when I make the kids peanut butter and jelly. Yesterday I was helping to cut cake at a birthday party and licked the frosting off of my fingers. UGH. I wonder how long it takes to break these habits. LOL

~Angi~

before I started LCing I would always grab my friends dr.pepper and drink some. Well, the other day he had it sitting at the table and I grabbed it and took a big sip :eek: . Then I got mad at him for letting me drink it :o :p .

This has never really happened to me, but I dream that I do it all the time, a low carb nightmare!

I also hav dreams that I'm eating candy and other high carb foods. then I wake up mad at myself for cheating. Then I realize that it was a dream... thank god!!

yep! Preparing the families meals has been a hard one for me. Today I made them spegetti and like I always do, I got a few pieces of the spegetti on a fork to taste for doneness. I put it in my mouth and began to chew when I realized what I was doing. I ran for the trash to spit it out real quick! And it wasn't quite ready either LOL. I will have to learn some new ways to cook I guess. :D

I always like the throw against the wall to see if it sticks *g*

um this got me to thinking.... I too used to catch myself sampling what I was cooking as if on auto pilot without even realizing it ... after almost 6 months on this plan I noticed that I don't do that anymore. Maybe I will actually make it this time :-)

After ten months of LCing, my daughter had lots of leftover birthday cake. I served it up later that evening to my DH, sister, and BIL. I ran my finger along the edge of the box and ended up with a big blob of frosting on my finger. Pre-LC days, I would have eaten it, no problem. I just washed my finger off in the sink. Eventually, old habits do die. Good luck on your LC journey!!!

Hiya All!

Once I was in my kitchen and getting some water. My back was turned toward the greater kitchen area. I thought I heard a noise behind me...and as I was turning around to see what it was...I was hit on the head...dragged to the floor...and held down...while a bag of M&M's were poured down my throat (ONE pound bag, of course). I had to no choice but to eat them...spitting out the green one's as I munched along!

Then I woke up....and had a cup of tea with spenda!

Best to all;

I had a strange dream last night too abvout food. I started to eat a pizza, and as soon as my teeth sunk into the crust, I relized that was a nono. I let go and just ate the cheese I'd be worried about obsessing when my eating habits make it into my dreams, but it sounds like I'm not the only one with yummy sleep.

Had to chuckle. . .as an artist everything is a visual for me. . .and I just pictured you racing to the bathroom like you had something really bad in your mouth. . .bad chocolate milk. . .redawn:)

see, im starting to have dreams about food too, me eating a large amount of cookies and then me waking up and being mad at myself for doing that.. and then FINALLY realizing it was just a dream..
