I thought I had "this" fairly well under control. This being control of my eating. My birthday is past, Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Years are past...then comes our first Secular Holy-day of the year which in America means..."WE EAT!" There were deli sandwiches, brownie bites, all manners of chips and dip, veggies and dip, dip and dip.
I started out in control but it went downhill from there. I just don't do well with free range grazing!! I opted for a plate of veggies and dip. I had a little dip left over on my plate and thought..."I shouldn't waste that...I'll just have one Frito to sop it up." I guess Fritos and Ranch dressing might be a trigger food. I know I never buy that glorified crack because I will eat.it.until.it.is.gone. And I did. I ate a bunch, way too much to even track. Frito's, ranch dressing, sandwich, brownies, veggies. I even ate Doritos (which I HATE) because they were there.
Humorously, I weighed myself yesterday morning and jumped for joy at 261.5...down 9.5 lbs...Whoo Hoo. Then I crapped on all my goodness by losing control. I know I didn't likely gain back 9 lbs of fat but could very likely be waaaaay back up there from the sodium. I'm avoiding the scale for a few days to stave of the "What the F' did I do?" panic eating that often accompanies a fall off the wagon. I'll weigh myself Wed or Thurs after I eat nice and clean and controlled for a few days.
There was one high point...I didn't touch a drop of the 2 cases of really good beer in the fridge sticking to Coke Zero instead. I was driving and had my son with me so I had to. If I wasn't driving and had been kid~free I'd probably have lost all will power there too.
I really don't need advice, I know what I need to do (and am doing it already) lots of water today, back on the bandwagon, log what I eat, get some exercise. I just felt like a good whine! Waaahhhh!
