The whole healthy-eating-being-active thingy hasn’t been working out for me lately. At all.
Most mornings I don’t eat breakfast. Then I am starving by noon and eat fast food for lunch. Then I’m not very hungry when I get home so I have a cocktail. Or two. And maybe dessert.
Last night I ate a bowl of cereal at 10:30 p.m. At lunch today I ate a chicken burrito the size of my thigh. Tonight I dipped super soft, double chocolate chip cookies in French vanilla Cool Whip and shut-the-front-door that was damn tasty.
See what I mean? When I am bad, I am really bad.
And here it is, one week from the beginning of the holiday eating-drinking-baking season which, besides the summer-beach-read season, is the most wonderful time of the year.
I’m not really beating myself up too much because there has been a ginormous amount of stress lately and, well, I fully admit to not having enough coping skills in my emotional tool box. And screaming hissy fits are far less attractive than a chunky ass.
But I do need to get myself back on the healthy wagon.
Soon. ish.
i have a couple of dip.cookies.in.cool.whip sorta days too — don’t beat yourself up too-too bad — you will get back on track when the time is right & you are ready!
thigh-sized burritos sound ah-may-zing!
When you’re ready you’re ready. It’s that simple (and that hard) I guess.
Although I always beat myself up for all the crap I ate when I have to work it off again.
Confession: I’m a night eater. It started in pregnancy, and I just can’t kick it. I wake up at about 3am, go downstairs, and eat about 3 mini Hershey bars.
And I am ALWAYS running late, so I never pack my lunch. At lunch, it’s always fast food. Always. And never a salad because the fries look so good in the pictures.
I wouldn’t worry too much until after the 1st of the year, and even then, I probably wouldn’t worry too much. You’re a beautiful lady.
Thanks for all the encouraging words, ladies.
And Meredith, I think you show AMAZING restraint if you stop at three mini Hershey bars. I can gobble half a dozen in minutes. And yes, salad for fries is just NOT an even exchange.
Deep fried chicken is still chicken. Chicken is low in fat and healthy. Amirite? Fat girl math – love it!
Jenn: You are abso-FREAKIN-lutely right. I like the way you think.
