Traci,
You are doing so well. Don't beat yourself up because you broke down MOMENTARILY and had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

PRAISE yourself for recovering quickly (in the midst of great temptation) and stopping a binge before it starts. It takes great strength of character to step back after you've gobbled down that first sugar fix. You did it, Girl, good for you!

Strength builds on strength.

A question: Why is your Dad bringing doughnuts to your house and leaving them in the kitchen? (Personally speaking, in my situation, I would feel a bit betrayed, but I don't know what his motivation was or what is your relationship with him.) Instead of getting angry, can you enlist his help by gently (and firmly) asking him not to do that -- if he wants to bring you a treat, make it a steak or a roasted chicken from the deli, or something like that?) If you enlist his help, he will share in your success and be proud of you, and be convinced that HE was an important player in your quest to gain a healthy weight.

Just a thought...
