I'm going to be good today, I thought to myself. My overnight oatmeal for breakfast, maybe some veggies and hummus for lunch, and the garden vegetable pie I had on my menu.
I drank my coffee, and had my oatmeal. Taking care of some loose ends, I looked up the return process for an online purchase. College grad was home for a few days, so I asked him if he wanted to go with me to the FedEx location, and then I would treat him for lunch. He chose Dairy Queen.
All my resolve disappeared in the drive thru lane. I craved a burger and fries. It was the last weekday of Spring Break, and I deserved it, right?
Then there was the bowl of frozen chocolate custard at 4p...and the cheese pizza at 630p.
Food has got to be one of the hardest addictions to manage. Can't live without it...but my waistline, and soon enough my health, can't keep living with it like this. Tomorrow will be another chance to dig out those sugar snap peas and blueberries and salad fixings. Good thing I like veggies and fruit almost as much as cheese pizza.
Too funny. It stinks as we get older we can't keep eating all those flavorful things!! It is good news that you like veggies and fruit. Best of Luck!!
ReplyDeleteDiet goals are so hard and there's never instant gratification. If you could take a pass on DQ and then go home and see some great news on the scale, that could be a game changer, but having to wait weeks, sometimes months, before the good news starts trickling, pretty much takes all the fun out of something that is not much fun to begin with. I'm rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteI feel this one! Seems like despite everything I do, the numbers keep going up. Thank goodness for spring and the time change. It (mostly) encourages me to move more and eat more veggies. I do love a good salad, but boy I sure have been craving ice cream.
ReplyDeleteWhat a timely post . . as I just got back from Dairy Queen and as the server handed me my soft serve vanilla cone dipped in chocolate I looked over at my son and said, "I really need to get back on track with my eating and my movement." Tomorrow is another day, for both of us! Hopefully the craving for a salad overpowers the Dairy Queen cravings!
