Trials and Tribulations…
It’s day two of my diet plan and I have been making a point to prepare my food so I can stick to my plan…I believe I did pretty well all day yesterday…that is…until that evening. I was good until me and the kiddos got back from the library about 9pm…I put some chicken breasts and turkey meatballs that I had prepared in the oven to cook. Shortly after I got the kids in their beds, the binge-fest began! OMG! What have I done?! If I could, I would have kicked myself in the a$$! Why am I so weak?? Night time is so hard for me because I’m so used to getting home from work and eatting late. I need to figure a solution to my late-night cravings. All the crap (i.e. chips, cookies, etc.) in the house is there for my kids, although, they shouldn’t be eatting that s@#t either. I need to get rid of it all or be more self-disciplined.
Just as I tell myself I will use last night’s binge-fest as a learning experience, I arrive at work this morning and I’m greeted with an email ironically titled "Celebrating February Birthdays and Fat Tuesday"…announcing that a white almond cake with chocolate butter cream icing is in the kitchen. OMG! What are they trying to do to me??? Am I being tested?? Is there a "fat cam" somewhere and I can’t see it??? Luckily, cake doesn’t really spark my taste buds, but a spicy southwest dip definitely does it for me! Of course, my weakness sets in and I’m dipping two, three, four wheat thin crackers into this fat-laden dip that was oh so good and oh so bad for me…I lost count on the tenth cracker or so…
