Stupid Halloween candy! I have become a candy pusher the last few days! Gotta get it outta my house.

I just wanted you to know you are not alone.
I am not always the model of good behavior myself and it sometimes takes everything in me to resist those old yummy foods. Stupid Halloween candy.
I really have to play mind games with myself. Like pull out all the chocolate candy from the baby's bucket and let the big kids eat away at it. Or let the baby open 15 things I know he doesn't like but he thinks he needs to try anyway and then once he licks it or bites and and thinks it is yucky it goes in the trash. He is not a big eater anyway and some might think "why are you letting him get into all that candy" but they don't realize he barely eats any of it, most of it goes to the trash.
I have never been a teenie person either. I am now ssmaller than I was in high school. The scale has pretty much stopped for me and now my only hope for ever seeing a normal BMI is plastics. That is okay though. I am happy, healthy and very satisfied.

Elaine..Thank you for posting this each day:)
My weekend was sooo BAD it was not funny! We had a "small party" to go to on Friday night and from then on it went downhill. Saturday night we had people here and I have no one to blame but myself on what I made as I am the one who made 40 cupcakes, 2 pies, cookies, appitizers, chili, chicken chili and potato soup. Sunday I picked on leftovers. I did sent a whole pie and 26 cupcakes to my neighbors as I knew they had to be out of my house.
I actually was looking forward to Monday when I went to bed on Sunday night as I knew it was a new day and what I did for the last 3 days was a clean slate. I will post later my Monday but so far so good.
I am the ONLY one who has control over what I am eating and I need to take control over myself. I got on the scale today and was up around 4 pds from the weekend. I know I can very easily gain it all back and that scares me. I have never been close to goal and I want to get there. I have a very resonable goal of 180 as I am tall and I know I will never be a "thin" person. I am not asking or expecting more then I feel I can do. I know I need to get back to the gym as I did enjoy it when I was going.
Thanks
Diana

Gosh Elaine... confession time. I Have been BAD since Halloween. I am so sorry. I am back on track starting Monday.

Topic: Sunday accountability...no one is perfect!
So yesterday my plan for the day was thrown way off. Had a couple of my Aunts and Uncles and a cousin come into town to visit. We all gathered at my Dad's house. Being the family that we are there ws tons of food everywhere. But, hey, it was not halloween candy at least!
So I ended up eating a package of cashews (330 cal!) a tortilla or two and then my unt makes lasagna! But, good thing is pasta does not sit well with me at all so that was not a problem avoiding. But, my neice ate around hers and only left the meat and cheese on her plate, so I had to nibble that. Then I had the munchies all night and just nibbled way at everything. Lost track really.
Today I have to drive to Norman to take my niece back home and that is an hour and a half drive there and then back so I will probably not eat right at all for the day. I don't have a problem with drive thrus but I do not eat well in general. Have lmonds in my car and a SB protein bar for most emergency cases. But, just being on the road makes me not really et which in and of itself is a prob. Course after yesterdays binging maybe todays lack of food will make up for it.
The plan as of now:
B- just coffee w/sf creamer, a few cups probably
s- PB ball if I feel hungry at some point
L- That chili I made yesterday went into the fridge, didn't even have any yesterday short of the couple of bites to taste test it. Gonna put it in baggies to freeze for the next few weeks and have a cup for lunch today
s- be on the road by then so maybe my almonds
d- maybe a snack wrap at McD's if my little one gets hungry from the back seat.
Hope everyone has a good'un.

We'll just say, baby and I managed to mangle a good portion of a pizza last night for dinner and tonight (leftovers) and we had chinese food for lunch. Hmm... but had fruit with my chinese food.. watermelon, pineapple, honeydew, oranges.. sooooo good.
Finally starting to gain some weight, now that I'm 11 weeks, and put on 2 1/2 inches at the waist.
Still can't tell I'm pregnant though! LOL

How did we ll survive the Candy Hunt last night?
I took my 4 year old Superman Trick or Treating in Granddaddy's neighborhood. Walked for and hour and a half! He started complaining his feet were hurting or I would have kept walking...now that was a WOW. I outlasted a preschooler! A couple of years ago I would have been driving around the neighborhood looking for porch lights that were on and then stopping to TorT a few houses at a time. Saw people doing that last night and it reminded me that I no longer am I limited by my obesity!
He is now counting his suckers and m & m packets. LOL
B- protein coffee
S-protein balls
L-lunch meat w/light cream cheese
S- baby bells
D-makin chili in the slow cooker. LOVE it. My favorite go-to food. Can't stand the canned stuff, too thick. I prfer my beans in the shape of a bean and not mushed ;-)
S- yougurt w/ BB, granola
How are you doing for the day?
