Yesterday was only a bad food day in the scheme of the last week. 30 points, pretty good. Overall, well, you can see I’m in the hole for my ‘extra’ points, and I didn’t even count Sunday. As
My weight is up two pounds. I’m trying not to focus on that and to essentially just not screw up, one day at a time. (I feel like an alcoholic.) Thus far my triumph for today is not making a batch of chocolate chip cookies and eating them all (or even six), which is what I really want to do because I’m stressed and tense about the house being appraised in 40 minutes. I am aware that it will not make me any happier in the long run, so I have not done it, and as far as triumphs go, I’ll take it.
…I have not done it….
Tougher than I am, lady. Much. I would schedule an Amway representative to talk to me about my opportunity to become wealthy, if he’d come now and bring cookies with him….
You joke, but that’s a damn fine accomplishment.
Woohoo! Good job on resisting the temptation!
I agree with anacrusis’s comment to this one: that’s a damn fine accomplishment.
And yeah, it’s like being an alcoholic. Addiction of a different sort. Take the small victories as you make them, and revel in ’em. :)
Actually, I wasn’t really joking. :) In tone, yah, but not so much in genuine content. Resisting a cookie breakdown is a decent accomplishment.
Take that, temptation! To mangle a quote from some magazine I read recently: cookies don’t taste as good as being thin :)
After sitting still on weight loss for what seemed like a month (but was probably two weeks), I am finally edging down again. My husband tried to limit carbs for one day and gave up–I reminded him you can’t focus on just one type of intake…
I guess the best thing that’shelped me is…I didn’t gain it all in a month…or even a year…it’s going to come off in the same amount of time I acquired it as long as I’m diligent.
Chin up!
