I did it. Yesterday I bought a ticket on the crazy train roller coaster. After school I took my daughter to the store. We Bought doughnuts. Carried them home and put them in my kitchen. In two days I have now eaten three. Now I know I would have eaten half the box (why is it we always rationalize these things this way?). This is just two days after I got on here all braggy, braggy talking about how I prefer good food. geeezz was I convincing myself? Can I qualify doughnuts as wholesome good quality food? I think not.
So today-I'm getting off this little mini roller coaster ride. I am calling and making a doctors appointment. and getting back on the slow road.
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.

Tina,
By your ticker you have lost 100+ pounds.... so you probably have had to face these temptations before (and I would love to learn from you).. The question I always ask myself is.. did I buy the (questionable) item for me or my family.. 9 out of 10 times I really wanted it.. Can you can toss them or give the rest away.. you have realized the need to get off that roller coaster..
At work this afternoon I had two - because they were left over from a buffet. One would have been bad enough, and they were getting stuck so I had to eat them slowly... and this evening as I pushed the plate away after half a platefull of stew and felt virtuous, I remembered the doughnuts, and like you I thought "who am I kidding?", and have been feeling annoyed with myself ever since.
But tomorrow's another day, and I will try again.

Barbara--you are totally right! I was the brainiac who wanted a doughnut. Thank goodness (or perhaps not) my family was in cahoots with me all the way. three people-11 doughnuts gone. One...going in the garbage....
