Journaling through the holidays PDF Print E-mail

Today's intake:
B: veggie omelet
whole grain dry toast
S: pepperoni - I know, I know tons of fat but it was football at a friend's house and there it was looking all round and red and delicious
L: none
S: fudgie - one of those skinny cow fudgesicles - yum
D: 1 slice whole grain with turkey and tomato and a little bit of shredded melted cheesse (also yum) and raspberries
Ok so far. Still have the night hours to worrry about. Or work my way through.

So - that pepperoni.  Watching the Bills lose (again) today. Over at a friend's house. And he plops a whole plate down directly in front of me full of crackers, pepperoni, and cheese. What were my options? I could have moved the plate. Didn't. I could have moved me. Didn't. I could have eaten the whole thing. Didn't. I did eat five pieces of pepperoni. Which I counted as my lunch. Didn't eat the crackers or the cheese. One of the reason I didn't eat more than I did was I knew that I would have to declare whatever I ate in my journal. It kept me righteous. Sort of. So not the best decision in the world but not the worst. I think if you take away every single thing that you love to eat , you end up eventually giving up and diving right back into a pool full of calories. So five thick slices of pepperoni were not the best choice, but they were better than sitting there feeling sorry for myself and ending up eating the whole tray and more. I guess that's my plan for journaling though the holidays. When special treats are offered - and boy, they will be - I will taste a bit keeping that journal of truth in mind - I will try to stay balanced with my choices but I won't deprive myself of all of it. The weight might come off a little bit slower this holday season but it will come off. Better than the 7 - 10 pounds I usually gain between turkey and New Years resolutions. Now I'm going to go brush my teeth signifying that today's eating is over and find something better to do with my time than stuff myself with calories my body can't use.
