I go around saying in my head, The kitchen is currently closed for business. I repeat, the kitchen has closed for the night. Please check back when it reopens in the morning.
Oh, my -- the Foreigners song from the 80s is now stuck in my head. You know the one: Head Games.
Why is it so easy to give in and eat senseless? -- I am having a huge struggle tonight. D@mn it, I am going to win.... I will come back tomorrow morning and tell you how proud I am for not caving in.
I wish I had an answer to that. Anything I could tell you would be easier said than done. My best advice is to just go to bed... Somehow things are always better the next morning...
If it makes you guys feel any better, I just had over half of a frozen pizza. Win. Not. Ugh, why. The only reason is that I'm REALLY tired and have been stressed this week. That's it. AND I didn't even get to the gym because I had to talk to an upset friend on the phone for a long time just after work and the timing then just didn't work out.
Also I had wine.
But I'm making progress on the wine front. Last week I only had 1 night when I did not have wine. This week it's been 2 so far, and most likely I wont' have any the next few nights because I'm going to visit a friend who rarely drinks.
@2fatcats - good and sobering point. I know what you say is true, but it's hard to follow it sometimes.
@newleaf and @sum78 - when I was married to my ex, he was gone for 9 months out of every year (out of the country) for the three years he did that and we were still married. It was horrific. The divorce was a relief in a lot of ways, that I didn't have to have that stress, worry, anger, sadness, grief non-stop. Not that that's anywhere near your situations at all, but just saying that I understand how long distance stuff is! *sympathizes*
@newleaf - people at work bring in ALL their junk from home at my work, too. And people there are absolute scavengers. It will all be gone by noon! I just try to avoid the break room as much as possible!
@MrsTryingAgain - good job with the chai tea verses the cupcakes! I'm not sure I would have won that battle!
@Moondance - how did you do with your work food craziness today with chocolate!!!??
olehcat definitely doesn't make me feel better that you had a crummy night... On to tomorrow. Onwards and downwards.
2fatcats interesting analogy... With as much cancer history as I've got in my family, I'm not sure how I feel about it. But it's definitely worth chewing on (no pun intended!)
