ok ok i know!!!!!
I guess I did not do a good job of explaining myself yesterday! I made it sound like I thought I had to say "no" to all the good foods in life. Well, I know that I can eat anything I want in moderation. The problem is, I have to say no eventually. "No, thanks. I don't need anymore of that." You know what I mean.
As I said before, I lost weight on weight watchers, and they stress portion control. I know that is the only way I can do it. I would still be going to weight watcher meetings, but I am having a bit of a time issue. Being a homeschool mother of three boys, time is not so easy to come by, but I know that it will be worth it in the long run.
Back to the issue at hand. Today went pretty well. I ate lunch at Logan's, and yeast rolls are one of my (many) weaknesses. If you are what you eat, I am a walking yeast roll most days after eating at Logan's. Today, however, I only ate one. I got grilled tilapia because it is light and a baked potato. Not too bad.
In my mind I counted my points (just as in weight watchers), but my main goal today was to stop eating everything in sight. Just because it is left on my child's plate, does not mean I have to eat it.
It is funny really. I can be stuffed as Winnie the Pooh, but suddenly that piece of pizza on my child's plate screams at me to be eaten. I try to ignore it, and then it gets up and dances. Now, you must admit, not many people can ignore a piece of dancing pizza. However, that is when the choice comes in. I could call Ripley's Believe it or Not, or I could eat it. Most of the time, I choose to eat it, but not anymore.....does anyone have the number to Ripley's? If not, I guess I could just save it for the kids lunch or something.
Ok, so if you are reading this blog, you are probably thinking, "This girl needs to be locked up." Maybe you are right, but my husband wouldn't let that happen (at least until the last child is potty trained). So, if you like crazy people, I will be back tomorrow. If you like sanity...you might need to find a new blog! Until next time..........................
