It’s the week after Thanksgiving and as you try and get back into your daily routine, you can’t help but feel that maybe you ate too much. At our house, it was the celebration of Pie-a-palooza that did us in. (Is there such a thing as too much pie?!)

So you’re sitting there thinking, “Gosh, I’m full. I must’ve gained 10 pounds over the holidays. Why did I eat so much?” The dark specter of guilt raises it’s ugly head… What can you do?!

Weightless blogger Margarita Tartakovsky has six suggestions on how to make it stop:

1. Accept your feelings and move on. OK, acknowledge that you feel guilty and realize that this is just another feeling. But like other feelings, it will go away.

2. Tell yourself you’ll go back to eating healthfully. No harm done. You enjoyed a delicious meal, and the next day, you’ll return to your regular eating schedule. [...]

Read the other 4 suggestions and more in her entry, Do You Feel Guilty? (and 6 Ways to Stop).

“Dealing with “Eating Too Much” Guilt”

The doctor gave me lortab long time after suffering from back pain, I did not take importance to this icon in order to feel pain, until no stamina, after many doctor visits and many tests I found chronic fibromyalgia, and after evaluating and conduct a comprehensive review told me that the most appropriate to ease the pain were lortab, vicodin or oxycodone, but I asked my doctor to prescribe me the most effective and less addictive and prescribed Lortab, have already taken this medication 2 years and though it causes some kind of anxiety I control myself properly, I have no problems so addictive, I think if they know their anxiety is effective restraint, this is good because these narcotics findrxonline indicate that opioids can be very dangerous.
