Saturday struggles
Why is today having to be such a battle? I woke up fine, in a good mood and ready to go hit some yard sales. Maybe it was the overpriced Christmas stuff I found that put me in such a foul mood. But by the time I got back home my mood had really soured.
Just now I had to run to the grocery store. And all I could think about was cheese dip. I had this internal fight with myself, thank God it was only in my mind! I picked it up, I put it down. I picked it up. Then I told myself if you buy this you are gonna eat it. And if you eat it yeah, its gonna taste good and you are gonna be happy. But are ya gonna be happy with another gain this week come Thursday? So I put it down. Walked a few aisles over and what did I see? More cheese dip. I picked it up, I put it down. I ended up doing this around 3 times with all different brands. I even went and looked at the Velveeta, have you seen the price of Velveeta lately? That alone turned me right off! LOL!
So even though I had to look at the Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes and think long and hard about them too I managed to leave the store with nothing more than a Diet Coke and two cans of Wolf Brand lean canned chili for tonights chili dogs.
Now if I could just get motivated to finish up my Christmas cleaning. Here I took two extra days off work so that I could have a long weekend to deep clean. So far I’ve only completed the master bath and bedroom. I think right now I am just hungry and dragging but the microwave just went off. Time to go enjoy my 5 point chicken and dressing Lean Cuisine!
Oooh I know that internal struggle all too well haha…
First of all, let me say..you should be very proud of yourself. Yay!
Its amazing how frustrations about one thing can lead us straight to tempting foods-good job girl!! Debbie
I’d done that at the store. I can usually talk myself out of it…but those darn candy bars by the check out. I totally know what you mean, it’s a victory but it doesn’t mean your happy. You will be happy come next weigh in.
