Ok...so why is it that the second I feel like I'm back on track, some massive thing comes to de-rail me? So far so good, but Sunday is Halloween. Hallo-fucking-ween! My kids are going to come boogying into this house with MASSIVE bags of chocolate. And chips, my own personal waterloo. To say nothing of the Costco sized boxes of chocolate over there on that chair...looking at me...telling me to open them and just have one. Which I am NOT doing...but sweet jeebus it is taking every ounce of willpower I have. EVERY OUNCE. Sunday, there's no chance I'm not going to hoover everything in sight. Don't bother sending me a supportive comment telling me to stay strong and resist and that I'm doing so well and I can DO this. I can't. Not on Sunday, anyway. After Sunday, I will have my children hide their bags from me, hopeful that my inherent laziness will be enough to stop me from putting any real effort into searching for them. And, from my sugar induced coma, I will cross my sausage-esque fingers and hope I haven't done too much damage. And then I will begin (again) the 3 day sugar detox it will take so that I stop craving carbs.
There it is, mapped out, the next week of Gilly's life. Down the rabbit hole I go.
Hey, at least you have a plan!
ReplyDeleteGo for it. Maybe we can see who can eat the most mini bars (I'm on my fourth right now!) and have a sugar induced orgy.
ReplyDeleteJust remember, Christmas is just around the corner and more sweets.
I agree, have some candy. Knock yourself out. Chances are, after a few, you'll feel sick and you won't be able to eat any more. You'll spend a few days recovering and that'll be that. No stress, just sugar. Do it again on Thanksgiving and Christmas. A couple days won't kill you. You're consistent enough the other non-holiday days of the year, that's what matters most.
ReplyDeleteNow pass the Cheez-its.
I think most of us will be eating candy on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the candy! Monday is a new day. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG. . I hear you! The "enabler" who sits by me and ALWAYS has some kind of fattening treat on her desk finally put up something I can't (read: don't want to) resist. Mini Snickers and Kit Kats. DAMN HER!!! I have managed to limit myself to one a day. It has been a Herculean effort.
ReplyDeleteCan you give yourself a LIMITED pass to scarf the Halloween bounty? Like 5 things only on Halloween and 1-2 per day otherwise? What a nightmare. I'm glad I don't have kiddies this weekend b/c I know it would be so hard to resist pilfering their Halloween hoardes!
Hang in there Gillykins!! xoxo
I was planning on just giving myself permission to eat whatever candy I want on Halloween night. It's one night, it won't kill us. And there's no reason to kill yourself over it. You've got a good plan for Monday. All will be okay.
ReplyDeleteWe just hosted the neighborhood block party. People left behind two cakes, 10 cupcakes, a box of chocolates and a box of cookies. Shiiiiiit. (I did give away one of the cakes and the chocolates. Trying to figure out what to do with the cupcakes...)
ReplyDeleteI so hear you. The damn peanut butter cups are mocking me as I write this!
ReplyDeleteJust remember its only 1 day of your journey... and you're not going to allow ONE day to derail you! Your plan is good.. you can SO do it... nobody became overweight because of Halloween... my weight went on over years... and it'll take time to get it off .. but don't let it lose your focus... enjoy a treat...
ReplyDeleteYou doing the challenge? Pig out bitch!
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy candy for the trick or treaters until yesterday and I've left them in the trunk of my car. They're not coming out until tomorrow evening.
