A Hint of Self-Control?!

So last I posted I updated on my resolutions.  I said the "no sugar for one day a week" was really, really, REALLY hard.  And it was.  I do not lie.  Apparently sugar is like crack to me.  I crave it to the point that that is all I can think about.  It is a wonder I am not 3000 pounds.

Anyway, I made this resolution because I really wanted to get a handle on this addiction and learn some self-control.  I never want to be one of those people that says, "Oh no, I can't eat that because I am on a diet."  But I do want to be a person that can have some self-control and recognize when they don't NEED something.  Or maybe just be able to stop at ONE cookie.  Instead of 9.

I just wanted to give a little status update on that because I think today I had a big moment!!  Maybe.  Although, it all crash and burn tomorrow.  I was looking for a pre-workout/after-school snack.  I so badly wanted a cookie.  They were sitting on the counter, just looking at me, saying "EAT ME!  EAT ME!  YOU NEED ME!"  But I knew I would want a cookie (or two) AFTER dinner too.  So I made a good choice and decided to eat an apple INSTEAD of a cookie.

Just so you know, I totally ate the cookie later.  I actually ate 2.  Whatever.  I had self-control for a little bit.

  1. I am exactly like you when it comes to sweets. Good job on the self control! I want like 6 Reese eggs a day, but only had two on Monday, and zero yesterday or today, so Id say that's a win for me too haha
