I think it happens to a lot of people. Don't beat yourself up, just pick yourself up, brush yourself off and move on. I had been mindlessly eating at night because I am bored. I'm going to charge up the kindle and do some reading in addition to my tv watching. Issues and solutions - that's what we face.
Best wishes - you'll do well

I feel your frustration and fear! But one of the parts of my plan helped soon much was to record everything I eat each day....three columns +\_: Liquid/Protein/Food. And then I also do an aside note for exercise. 80oz of liquid(no, never achohol), 60grams of protein, grains, fruit, calcium, veggies...even treats like Popsicles !
After two years now, I can tell you it is a habit, I live by.

Breath deep and keep your own list of what works for you, you have trust your success!
Best of success in your future

That is exactly what I remembered last night. When I was dieting I used to have the most success using a food tracking app or just writing my food down. So last night I took the time to plan out my day and what I will eat for the day. I believe this will be an added step to my life but it will help me remain conscience of what I am actually putting into my mouth.

we had the sleeve the same day.and i can tell you that there have been days i have struggled with the ease there is to eat what you shouldnt..so i DEFINATELY use www.myfitnesspal.com and that helps me a lot..even if i do eat something wrong, i feel so stupid when i write it down..and i am religous about it..
keeping weight off is a battle..and we have a tool..but we have to use the tool the right way..of course it is hard..we wouldnt have had the sleeve if we had all the answers..so one foot in front of the other!
this weekend i am out of town with hubby. I was here 1 month ago..and recently i was feeling like i hadnt lost much.was frustrated at my eating..all of that..then i weighed in here and found out i was 10 lbs down from 1 month ago!! so i walked and walked upped my exercise that helped a lot...take care!! you can do this!!
