Disgusted with myself right about now

I always do this...

Whenever I want to be nice and make people happy I decide to do so by making desserts for them. I tend to think of myself as a good cook/good baker and it makes me feel really good when people tell me that my food is delicious. Well, the last few weeks I have been baking cookies and what not for Scott's Young Men every wednesday. Well, last night I decided it would be a good idea to make goodies for his coworkers. So this morning I set out to make cookies for them. They were chocolate cookie crinkles, one of Scott's favorites. I went into it thinking that I for sure will only eat a cookie or two. Moderation in all things, right? Well, I sit here two hours later and I can tell you that I didn't just eat "a cookie or two". I honestly don't know how many cookies I ate. I am sick with myself. My stomach hurts. I have a headache. I know this stuff isn't good for me. My body always reacts adversely to baked goods. So, why do I eat them? Because they taste good. That is a sorry reason if I ever did hear one. Just because it tastes good does not mean it is healthy for me to eat. I am so disgusted with myself and am embarrassed for what I have done. I realize too that I am not only influencing my health but others too as I bake these items for them. So, I will not more bake items for the Young Men or Scott and his coworkers or anyone else for that matter because first I am influencing their health for bad, and I am reversing the very thing that I am trying to do. Yuck. I feel so gross about myself right now. To you as my witness, I vow to bake desserts no more because the temptation is too great. I vow it for my health as much as the health of others.

I am the EXACT same way! Cooking/baking is my only real talent and I LOVE to do it. Here is what I tell myself and I am always told. Don't worry about it! It is ok to cheat sometimes - just get right back to your healthy eating and things will be ok!
Funny story - I have been eating sooo good and havn't lost anyweight. this weekend we went camping and I ate a ton of crap and layed around the whole weekend... and I came back from that weighing less.
No stressing! Just go with it! We all make mistakes/have those days. LOVE YA!

I'm sorry you're feeling so crummy! But I must say...I bet you walked off 50 billion trillion cookies this weekend.... :) That's got to count for something, right?! :) I hope you don't give up baking permanantely...it would be tragic to all those who eat your delicious-ness! :) he he he. I say chalk we call this one little "oops" a little needed splurge and forget about it. You're doing great, afterall....DOUBLE DIGITS??!! That's awesome.
