♥ I'm not grouchy, I'm hungry!!
The things we do to our bodies. You know, I have had quiet the experience with will power today. I talked myself out of most...I said most temptations. I have Italian in my blood. We love food. Okay, so maybe it isn't so much the Italian as much as it is those sneaky "fat genes"
So when your six year old comes home from school of course they are going to be starved. Yesterday I tried to pass off wheat bread to him, and he said that it tasted really bad. In fact his exact words was "There is something wrong with this bread mom, I think it's bad" I just had to laugh. I made spaghetti for "super" It is usually around 4ish when we eat because my husband works the late shift. I was good. I ate a smart ones spaghetti. Which really doesn't taste that bad. I had some corn in weight watchers butter sauce. And a slice of 35 bread. Which was really good. I enjoyed it. I started to crack when my son wanted me to make some cupcakes for our movie night. I haven't made cupcakes in forever!So, of course I said yes. One cupcake isn't going to hurt is what I told myself. So, one cupcake is what I had.
Now, don't be shaking your head. It was better for me to give into just one, rather then get frustrated and eat 2 or 3 during the night. I put a limit on myself. Just one. I counted it into my lovely points. For one small cupcake the points are about 12-16.
I question myself was that cupcake really worth it. Not really, but it did curve my sweet tooth by a lot. It did make me feel a tiny bit better. The things that food does to our body. Especially sweets. When we are upset, angry or sad instead of walking, or taking up something that makes us chill out, we stuff food in our mouths.Why because it is easier that way isn't it?
I was really cranky yesterday, and even some today. My son said "Mom why are you so cranky?" I replied in a frustrated voice" I'm not cranky, i'm hungry!"
I really don't understand my self much. How I can allow food to control me? How I have no willpower what so ever. How come when I was younger I could do this, and do it cheat free? I know tomorrow will be better. I just wanted to be cheat free for at least 4 weeks. Maybe tomorrow will start that journey. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
