Afternoon Tea Time! Oops I didn't it again moment....

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to stop by during my lunch hour and say hey  So how are things going? 

I have to confess I had a oops I did it again moment yesterday.  I had been drinking all the water, taking my vitamins, eating 6 small meals a day with protein first and I was like, yes I can do this, what was all the worry about   Then I had the day from hell yesterday.  Things were coming at me at the speed of a hurricane.  I didn't get my morning oatmeal with protein, (don't think I pee'd either and at my age that can be messy) or water and so I ate well for lunch but then without even thinking I started grazing on the old stand-bysChips!!!    I thought I had thrown out all the chips but I was on the phone and reached over and before I knew it I was as a chewing fool

I was like what  I smashed them to pieces because you know we go through the trash if we get in that mind set.

So the moral of this story is, it's only the first week and I am not going to let one slip mess up the days I have done well.....stinkin chips 

You guys enjoy the rest of the day, I am going to get my roast beef roll ups and come back and chat until my lunch hour is over.

Take care,
Kathy

Hey sweet Kathy, the really positive thing is you recognized it and stopped it!  I went looking yesterday in the vending machines. I work from home usually but had gone into the office yesterday and was not prepared.  I so wanted to push the chex mix button but opted for some nuts.  Not the best choice but not the worst.  The worst is at 4 when I caved and ate a ghiradelli double chocolate truffle.....man it was good but the guilt sure wasn't.  Hang in there and again good for you for recognizing what was going on and putting a stop to it.  Hope today went better!

See Melissa,

I think what is so cool about this group, is just knowing we are here and a member we stop and think about it.  I knew to stop the chips because of BOTT and you were thinking ok, nuts instead of chex mix...

Thank you for being here and we are going to be FINE in 2009

Kathy...thats why we're here to support each other. I have BAD BAD BAD times at work. I ate 6 bite sized Laffy Taffys yesterday. Can someone PLEASE take all the Laffy Taffy off of the face of the earth???? I'll pay money!!!!!!!!

You got it, call in all the little space creature , come and get all the Taffy and zap it 

Have you tried taking some snacks for you to eat so when the taffy gremlin calls your name you can eat other things, like string cheese, apple and peanut butter?

Hang in there girl, we are going to get there if it kills us

Take care,
Kathy

OH MY GOD Laffy Taffy is one of my favorites!!!!!  I love the sours...oh now my mouth is watering...good thing I have support group tonight!

You just had a chip off the old block. LOL  But you are absolutely right - YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!  Yes, we are very inventive when it comes to grazing.  When I was in Weigh****chers years ago, one of the women was home alone with her sleeping children one night so could not leave the house so she had Western Union deliver her a candygram (they did that back in those days) 

YOU CAN DO IT  One slip does not a disaster make!  YOU CAN DO THIS!!!  We all did it before which means we can all do it again.  And this time, we have extra support from each other.

I believe in you - now you believe in you.

Have a fine day 

Hi Barb,

I can share my experience with Laffy Taffy and maybe that will help.

I used to love Laffy Taffy.  One time I was eating it and two crown came out.  Now granted they were probably loose anyway but my dentist told me that it didn't much of the Laffy Taffy to compromise any dental things in your mouth.  So, to the tune of $1,500 I replaced my crowns AND quit Laffy Taffy. 

Maybe it was expensive shock therapy but it worked.  Hopefully my experience with Laffy Taffy and $1,500 will help you!

Hey Kathy,

That mindless unconscious eating is so weird.  We reach for something and we're on auto-pilot.  But, you caught yourself.  That is so great.  I love that you threw them away as crumbs.  You were in control and not those chips.

Yeah you!

Cathy
