It's my birthday, urghhh!

[michelley]

Just had birthday lunch with the bosses & did good until the waittress offered the birthday desert. Brownie or apple pie. I picked the apple pie since I don't like it (& LOVE the brownie) & asked for it to go so I could give it to my husband. Then she brought out ICE CREAM to go. URghhh, I tried to put it in the freezer at work, but the container didn't fit.

So why couldn't I just throw it out???? At least if my husband was with me I would eat a bite or two & be satisfied. So, I ate a few bites, savored it & wanted more. No surprise. But once I slowed down I noticed that I felt funny & realized the sugar was affecting me. That made it much easier to go to the sink & say BYE-BYE to the ice cream. Whew... I probably only did 20 carbs or less damage! It could've been much worse!

Hope you are all doing well & being satisfied with our awesome way of eating!! Now I need to get this yucky aftertaste out of my mouth!!! Hope the rest of my celebrating goes much saner!!!

Happy Birthday Michelley

Good job on the apple pie choice, that took some will power. Re the ice cream, you know the drill, get back on the horse, drink lot's of water, and don't look back.

So why couldn't I just throw it out????

I kind of look at the sugars/high carbs as my heroin for the drug addict or alcohol for the alcoholic. I can't have just a bite, or I'm on the slippery slide downhill. It always calls my name when I'm close and tempts me.

If you get handed temptation the rest of your day, remember that sugar rush and say No Thank You .

Birthday - how great - congratulations!!
I have been watching you working those challenges - you will be just fine.

Have you thought about joining the president challenge. I kind of find it addicting.
