Do you ever feel like ......

[Anthony Smith]

Do you ever feel guilty when having a packet of crisps or a chocolate treat, even though you know you can have them because you have loads of points left over.

Example: Last night I had 8 points remaining and I was at the shop I picked up the smallest milkyway bar which turned out to be 2 points but I put it back down because I would feel guilty having it. Even with the packet of Quavers I had yesterday, I knew they were 1.5 points and that I could have them but I just feel guilty having them and that is why I feel deprived and going off track.

Does anyone else feel like this and how did they over come it?

Thanks

I feel like this all the time, but I try and tell myself that if I don't have the treats it will make it easier for me to fail completely.
Sometimes if I feel more guilty afterwards I will jump on the exercise bike or xtrainer and make the guilt disappear that way. The other thing I do is think of a fizzy drink as a treat, diet coke 0 points but I feel like I have been a bit naughty guilt free!

You should treat yourself, if you're in your points there's no real harm, enjoy a bit of choccy later

Sometimes I don't feel guilty enough! I think I eat too many bad things to make up my points at the end of the day!

And are your losses fine?

And thank you I will treat myself to a choccy treat

Thats the beauty of WW - treats and no guilt

After I had my meals Id use any left over points on, well on anything I fancied really....

Yep, when I did WW before I didn't use my points up and my losses were erratic, some weeks I would lose 7lb, others I would put on. Now I make sure I use up all or most of my points by whichever means possible and I have so far steadily lost 2lb a week. People keep saying to me that steady is the way to go!!
2lb off is better than 2lb on!

Go on, treat yourself, it is Saturday after all!

I've started to feel guilty after I've eaten something "naughty" - I always feel like I need to run or exercise it off. I'm also within my points when I eat it but sometimes some foods make me feel so bloated that I don't want to eat them again because of how I feel after I've swallowed it!

But I do believe in having a little bit of choccy whenever you need some, you can't totally deprive yourself

 

[Anthony Smith]

Thanks all, I did not have my choccy treat, but as I was at a party I treated my self to vodkas, I see on this forum that it says smirnoff vodka is 0.5 per 25ml shot, and other sites I have seen that it is 1 point each and is 1.5 for 2, I do hope that it is 0.5 as that is what I have pointed it as all night

Oh no !!!!!!!!!!

 

[ClareyCakes]

From what I gather the extra pointing is debatable, many people do say 0.5 for one and 1.5 for two, but I wouldn't say it is gospel, 0.5 is 0.5 for me and two is 1 point, makes sense and works for me! I think it's more personal choice.

 

[Anthony Smith]

Yeah suppose so, I had double vodkas all night and kept it at 1 point for it plus the diet coke which is free anyway. I think I will just stick to 0.5 from hear on as im sure it wont make that much of a difference anyway, and plus I save points through out the week anyway

Cheers for reassurance

Sounds to me like you have a good routine going on. Keep at it and enjoy your little treats

 

[Anthony Smith]

Ahh Thank you, and I will do

i do i feel very guilty when i eat a treat and it is my down fail of not having them although my leader always say u must a have a treat as ur allowed! i am getting slightly better but i do make sure it is a low point one even though i have plenty point to have a better treat iykwim x

I sometimes do think it's as if we still see we are on a 'diet' then anything higher calories or something we love feels like a guilt trip as 'diets' honestly mentally feel like depriving ourselves.This is why I am never on or going on a 'diet' again 22 years if off in off on has made me say enough.
I use ww plan as s guide, if I want something nice I can have it what I tend to do is weigh up how much I need something I used to like higher caloried to what I can have that's filling for when I'm tummy hungry. But of course I eat nicer things we are human but I never reward myself with food.
I feel as long as we are eating in the plan using 95/5 theroy then alls good 95% healthy 5% higher caloried. The guilt drops if you can see occassionallys all good x

The last 2 days I have felt better when having a choccy treat, and have got myself a bag of aero bubbles for 4.5 points
