somebody smack me

Dang it... I swore I wouldnt do this today... Am trying to back off the carbs as the scale is creeping toward 165 from 163... so what do I do... I stand in the kitchen waiting for coffee and danged if i didnt eat 5 ritz crackers... geez... will I ever learn... I need brain surg as well. how the heck am I ever gonna get to goal if I do stupid stuff like that... oh well... all I can do it make the rest of the day count... Wish me luck Karen

We all do stuff like that, Karen. As much as I shy away from carbs they aren't certain doom in small quantites. What's done is done. 5 crackers won't add a pound to you. Heck, go for a walk and work 'em off. No harm, no foul. Glad to recognized the "munching" behavior. Good to be able to do that and stop it before it was 10 crackers, ya know? Have a great rest of your day! Hugs, Kathy

Karen, On another support board I belong to here "BMI Over 50" there is a girl there that makes herself go and exercise for each bad carb she eats. I don't know if it works or not, but, I'm thinking of trying it.... Lori

You know... I felt like I was "over" munching aka grazing the other night and I got the exercise ball out and put it on the bed and did some leg raises and stuff. Just whatever I felt like. Figured I was undoing whatever I had done. LOL! Don't know if it worked but I lost weight instead of gaining and I felt better about the whole thing. No real guilt. In that respect, I think it is a good thing. Kathy
