Must be a full moon!

What's with some of us eating sugary stuff this weekend? I went to my MIL's for weekend.  Ate ice cream, cake, and beignets!!!! I'll have a lot of making up to do this coming week.  I'm not down on myself, though.  I'll just pick up where I left off.  Boy, my days have sure changed.  I used to give up by now, and say, "What the hell?  Let's eat all in sight!" I sure hope my attitude stays with living this new eating/exercising for a lifetime change. No, let me restate that.....I KNOW I will do this for a lifetime!!!  (That's as positive as it gets!!!) Good luck to us all! Bren

mmm....beignets.....*picture the homer simpson style drool* good for you for keeping the positive attitude. seriously though birthday cakes, ice cream and yes, even beignets, have a place in a balenced diet. holidays will still happen and you still want to participate and that is just fine. everything in moderation.

aww, ya gotta have a little sweets...like Andy says, it can fit in there somewhere. Just enjou it.  i can think of so many things i did not even enjoy.  THAT is dumb...at least enjoy it .

I used to give up too.  You hang in there girl and with the support from this board you'll do just fine! Monday starts a whole new week and it will be a good one.   Brenda

wow this weekend was a carb-fest for me.  A regular fluffernutter marathon and finishing up sunday night with a veggie dinner of PASTA with sauteed onions, diced tomato and green chilis!  PHew! I'm paying for it this morning to.. I am SOO sluggish! ugh! it's horrible! Good news is I went to see Nickelback Saturday night and sweated about 30% of my water out! heheh

I agree! Saturday was an all you can eat carb, fat, sugar, you name it fest for me...

I had waffles, Mc Donald's for lunch (double cheeseburger with no cheese meal) and then we went out to Cheddar's and I was going to be good but the waitress brought us free onion rings and then that was the end of that, had honey croissants and veggie alfredo. I am suuuuuch a stress eater and planning my wedding is doing me in - that's all we did all weekend.

Sunday I did get back on track though I was so proud of myself. Instead of saying forget it I'll just wait until Monday like I usually do. I'm jealous about Nickelback too that sounds awesome.

Nickelback was awesome!!  Great show!   I've got some pics on my myspace.  They don't cameras so I had to resort to my camera phone and I'm still in the process of transferring them over to the PC. (Slow process, 2 pics per PIX msg..ugh!)  http://www.myspace.com/krizx   <- In Pics under "Nickelback @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheater"

My weekend, I bought a piece of cheesecake and snacked on that in bits and pieces over the two days.  It's half way gone.  I think I'm going to throw out the rest of it because I shouldn't be eating it.  I also bought those Oreo Cakesters - they're okay, nothing to brag about.  I had two packages of those last night before bed.  Good job, Janina.  Can you tell my choices are going down the tubes?  

It MUST have been a full moon!!!! I confess, my DB and I bought white chocolate cookies at my urging.  I was the one who put them in the cart...BIG MISTAKE!!!  I ate six on Saturday and 7 on Sunday.  SEVEN in one day!!!  I put the cookies in the cupboard late Sunday afternoon, but that didn't stop me.  When my DB got home Sunday night I told him he had to get rid of those darn cookies.  Plus, I had a 12" sub on Saturday for lunch and dinner...white bread galore it was. Sigh...today is a new day and like you, I'm picking myself up and starting a new day back on my healthy eating plan. 

Last Thursday morning I drove to the only store in my area that I knew sold individual packs of Dark Chocolate M&Ms.  They didn't have any!  Since I was already there, I bought the 14 oz. bag for $1.99.  I haven't opened it yet, but luckily I have a food scale in the house and I can measure out a portion I won't feel guilty about eating. Avoidance doesn't solve anything.  I think we have to learn to say, "I'll have this and then stop" -- and then do it!
