Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I fell off the wagon.....and I fell HARD!

Well......I was at Sam's Club today to by some healthy stuff. I went to the produce section. I picked out a nice bag of oranges. I wanted plums, but they didn't have any. I haven't even eaten oranges for a long time. I don't even know if they will agree with my IBS, but they smelled so good and a good sweet orange sounded good to me. I also put a bag of avocados in my basket. I've been eating them lately and loving them. I only eat a little bit at a time...and they agree with me and are good for me. But then as I was headed to the checkout line, I passed that damn bakery section.

There they were....those deliciously soft, large, fresh cookies. 24 to a package...8 oatmeal raison, 8 mini M&M chips, 8 chocolate chunk.

Then right next to them were the "Brookies"....half chocolate chip cookie, half brownie bites.

I looked at the price...the mini brownie bite/cookies were over $6 and those cookies were only a little over $4 for 24 cookies!

My husband is still out of town for a couple days....

"I can put most of them in the freezer for when he gets home", I said to myself

. So I picked up the package of cookies and put them in my basket along with my oranges and avocados.

"I'll only have one." I told myself. I put my items in my car, opened that package of cookies and had one before leaving the Sam's parking lot!

It tasted sooooo good! I didn't even care what the consiquences might be on my IBS later. It was soooo soft, the chocolate chunks melted in my mouth! I immediately felt guilty. Like a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar!

I told myself that as soon as I got home, I would put them all in the freezer. But, I had the rest of my day to finish at work....I was on my lunch hour. Later, while I was at work, my husband called. He was heading into town for supplies for his project he's been working on at our mountain property. "Would you like to go to dinner when I get to town?" he asked. "That sounds great!" I replied. Little did he know that I had planned on eating safe for supper since I just "sinned" and had a delicious chocolate chunk cookie! We went with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to Applebee's. I wasn't very hungry...so I just ordered the small portion chicken finger basket. I didn't eat hardly any of the fries and the chicken fingers were small.

Everything agreed with me. My tummy surprizingly wasn't rumbling!! My husband left the restaurant to go back up to our mountain property with my sister-in-law and I took my mother-in-law home. When I got home, I had two more of those delicious cookies....this time I had one chocolate chunk and one of the mini M&M chip cookies....along with a small glass of ice cold skim milk!!! Lord it tasted soooo good! I had died and gone to heaven....and if I pay for it tomorrow, it will be OK....because it was sooooo tasty!!! Lord I appologize...but you shouldn't have tempted me with those cookies!!
