Just ate m&ms and am beating myself up

I’m not even on a real diet... I hate this cycle of voices in my head.

How many did you have? A fun size or king size?

Do some quick bodyweight exercises even for 10 minutes. Will get the metabolism up as the muscles recover.

Oh, grow up. You control the voices.

Mmmm, M&Ms. We only have Snickers and Three Muskateers, which aren’t as good.

Don’t beat yourself up, just don’t eat as many tomorrow.

I did this about a week ago and felt awful - from all the sugar & thinking about how unhealthy m&m’s are. Just remember the bad feelings you have now, in case you are tempted again!

This letter and reply made me think of you. Don't be so hard on yourself!

How about instead thinking:

Man I loved eating those M&Ms yesterday, they were so tasty!

And then...just moving on.

yesterday is gone, my friend. You can only control yourself going forward.

But there is no point in beating yourself up over it.

How many did you eat? I hope it was a LOT to have enough guilt to post here. Otherwise, please enjoy your treat.

Are you new to this here weight loss forum?

I agree with you, but that is not the message most posters want people to have in their heads.

Reading this thread reminded me of this item I first saw online maybe 15 years ago. It might help you slow down your M&M consumption. This is how you mindfully eat M&Ms.


Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theatre of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to:M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc. Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A.along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.
