Well a dieters worst nightmare or biggest dream depending on how you look at it. I have 1992 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies in my living room. Come on this is crazy! I thought I was doing really good only 5 cookies so far until 2 days ago. I had a horrible day of grumpy people and I caved and ate 1 sleeve of peanut butter Do-Si-Do’s. I felt horrible. After it my body went into a mini shock over all the sugar I just ate and worst of all I felt bad about caving and eating because I felt bad.
The hardest part to dieting is overcoming the eating desires that happen when I am stressed or upset. I know it is all psychological, and I should be stronger but the reality is I have been better but now I felt weak. I hate feeling like snacks are stronger than me but in this circumstance they were like a heavy weight fighter and I was a technical knockout in one round.
Other than this loss I am doing great in the battle of Tammy vs. cookies. I have won all the other daily battles with only having one or two cookies a day if I really needed it. I am trying to cut out sweets as much as possible but not totally cut it out so that I want to eat them more. I figure giving in a little bit is better than withdrawing altogether and then caving under the cravings. A little bit of sweets here and there will stop me from eating a whole box of cookies or a cake.
My middle son is doing so much better with his healthy eating. I ate a couple of chocolates for Valentines, and he turned his all down. Why is it a 10 year old has more self-control than I do?
