hang in there!!!

Oh, I blew it!

I thought this would be easy for me, because honestly, I'm not a big sweet-eater. But I'm making Mom's recipe for Waldorf salad and she adds mini-marshmallows. Didn't think they'd be very good, so popped a couple in my mouth to prove to myself that I didn't want them. (Yeah, right...)

Had forgotten about this challenge till I logged in. Oh, oops!!

BTW that test provided insufficient evidence and I had six more this morning. So now my justifier is saying, "You already blew it, so you can have all you want today. Just start fresh tomorrow." I recognize that argument, and it is a big fat lie... Need to stop now or it's a slippery slope to a warm place.

AArghhh!

Well this topic has made me analyze what I'm doing, and will probably prevent me from going down that slope. Thanks AJ!

It 's a goal, not an absolute. My goal was to stop eating the office candy and reduce the sweets. On day one I failed but I reduced from before. On day two I did not eat office candy (those bowls of M&Ms, you know the ones) and now today is day three of forty for me and I had two ginger snaps with a splat of whipped cream. No pie. No candy. This challenge is working for me. I am making progress, and I bet you are too! Mindless eating is the enemy. Thoughtful planning is our ally.

And a big Thanksgiving howdy and hug to my MFP family!

I learned. I poured all the marshmallows in the salad and didn't bring any leftovers home with me. The threat is gone. Thank heavens my DH eats so healthfully. I'm so lucky not to deal with junk food in the house.
