Cheat meal turns into cheat day

OK I believe that all is good in moderation. But only to an extant. I still do not partake in soda or truly unhealthy foods. Even on cheat day. I give myself one or two cheat days a week. Sometimes they are planned out or spur of the moment. But some times cheat meals turn into cheat days. On Sunday my family and I had come home from church and I had not gotten to the store the day before to get food to prep or even get healthy snacks. So I was feeling a little overwhelmed with the thought of what to make for dinner or lunch.
      So being over come with hunger I fed my kids a sandwich and got them to bed. I walked back to the kitchen and saw a huge thing of pop corn from the movies from the night before. I had bought it to share and didn't feel bad about eating it since it was our date night and my cheat meal. I had maybe eaten four bites at the movies. So I took the almost full tub of popcorn down stairs with me along with some otter pops and a rice krispy treat. Dan and I watched Pretty little lairs and consumed way to much junk for me to even mention!!
             Around 6:30 I got horribly sick. I was shaking and  and had the worst migraine!
I went up stairs, got my hot pad out and sat there and bailed my eyes out for the next half hour.I remember thinking to myself I had done this. I'm the reason why my body is shutting down. My Husband came to check on me a long with my two sugars. My daughter tucked me in and gave me a soft monkey to hold. And in that instance I realized I could never binge eat again. It is to important for me to be there mommy and take care of my self. I felt guilty for over indulging to the point of completely sickness. My husband took the kids to see my mom so I could relax. ( oh how I love him!) I pulled myself together and walked down stairs to make a veggie omelet and some blue berries. I rubbed some peppermint oil on my fore head and finally fell asleep. I don't even remember my kids kissing me before they went to sleep.
           The reason why I am writing you this is because I am not going to give up and either should any one who falls off the wagon. Just because you hit a bump in the road doesn't mean you should throw in the towel for good. We've come way to far to quit. Im having a hard time passing on sweets and not caving when it comes to crap. But each day is getting better and better. I never want to feel like I did on Sunday again and even though it was the sickest I've felt since giving up caffeine. I'm glad it happened. Ive got some Major goals in mind and I'm not letting this set me back!!!
