Continue along with me on my journey from Flab to Fab.

I am going to be honest… I have had a really hard time with eating right this week. Obviously making the transition from stay at home mom to working mom has been (and will be) a work in progress.  I have been getting up early to exercise and always make my lunch the night before to bring into work.  Since I have been using my crock pot to have dinner ready as soon as I get home from work, it has also been a lot easier to prevent myself from unnecessary after work snacking.  If I plan out and control my meals, I have usually been successful.  I know that I cannot be successful 100% of the time.  I do want to be successful 100% of the time, but let’s be honest, it isn’t realistic.  I have been letting myself have one or two “treats/cheats” a week, and for the most part I have been really good at sticking to my healthy eating plan.

So what is my problem this week?!
Halloween candy is my kryptonite.  Who am I kidding, candy in general is my weakness.  I love kitkats and twix, and reeses pieces and pb cups, oh and don’t forget about skittles…
While I haven’t purchased any Halloween candy myself, we have gone to a few different Halloween activities where my kids have gotten candy.  They have been kind enough to share it with me.

As you may remember, I am a “food addict”.  As with all addictions, it all starts with the first piece…if I can just resist that first piece…why can’t I just resist that first piece?!   It really is all about that first piece!  Once I have eaten one, it just tastes so good, and it leads to another and then another. See what I mean, addict.  Then comes the feelings of regret and guilt…does that happen to you too? I seriously hate it!

So, what am I going to do about this?
Well, for now, I am going to forgive myself for messing up this week, and I am making a conscious decision to make the right food choices in the upcoming week.
