Well, okay maybe its not the Halloween candy's fault, per se - I guess perhaps it is more MY fault - but I'd prefer to try to place the blame elsewhere.
It's been quite a week - or 3 weeks around here. In fact, I think its been pretty much since my 30th birthday and my big celebration of having lost 30 pounds... I've just been a bad girl. I have my list of excuses (some of which I think are pretty darn good ones!) but really, I know that there should be no excuse.
Whatever.
In any case, I've started to make an actual effort to lose weight again - as of yesterday. And it feels a lot better.
Its not that I was so so bad this past month - I think in fact that I've done pretty well with the exercise over the past week (I think I've been on the treadmill 5 out of the past 7 days). Unfortunately, I also ate way too many mini chocolate bars on 5 out of the last 7 days as well!
Oh well.
So, my new plan is that I am not going to have even one more Halloween candy this season. Not even one. And since I made that rule yesterday morning, I've done much much better. Its funny - I have to be all or nothing at all. Eating treats in moderation is just waaay too hard.
I blame the mini Coffee Crisps. They are up to no good.

Those evil little yummy chocolatey things!
Somedays I really wish it wasn't so hard. But it is and we're both winning the war (even if we're giving up a couple battles along the way).
Oooooo, I love the mini coffee crisps. I think I ate 10 in a sitting once...though it was probably more. mmmmmmmm. I hope I can have as much restraint as you are having right now!
I am much the same - it seems to be either all or nothing with me too. I remember a time several years back that I decided that I was having no chocolate bars or candy for what started out to be a month - but then I stretched it out to 4 months - but I started eating them again one day - and then it was all down hill from there:( If you can believe it, I actually carried a chocolate candy around in my pocket for months to remind myself that I wasn't going to eat chocolate. Once I had made the decision, it was actually not that hard - until I started eating them again, because every day then became a battle of - should I or shouldn't I?
Perhaps what we/I need to do, is decide at the beginning of each week exactly how much of what we are going to eat and not going to eat - and know that the plan can change - but not until the week is up, and then we have to plan it out again and decide.
Okay, I'm done rambling - I hope this makes sense!
I'm so proud of you Colleen - and you are NOT a bad girl - you are a very good girl in the middle of a bad battle - and I am so proud of you for the determination you have and the example you have been to me so many times!
Love and hugs
Mom
