Not a Great Week
I'm a little frustrated with myself and my lack of willpower.

I advise a publication at the high school where I work, and in order to keep the kids happy and productive, I buy them lots of snacks for our late work nights.  I made a special effort this month to buy healthy snacks just in case I caved, and I brought all of my NS meals/add-ins for the day in a shopping bag.  I was good to go.

Until I encountered the cheese curls.  And the delivery pizza.  I may have had four slices.  Or five.  Hopefully not six.  I lost count.

On the bright side, it definitely could have been worse.  I avoided cookies, chocolate, goldfish, and a plethora of other snacks.  Before NS, I think it would have been worse.

I couldn't avoid the cheese curls again today.  Or the leftover slice of pizza.  Or the pretzels.  Or the granola bar - though that was only 90 calories. 

When I got home, I had a NS snack (the zesty snack mix is great!), which I probably should not have had considering my snacking during the day, but it got my back on track for dinner.  Three cheese chicken and pasta, salad with apple and balsamic vinaigrette, and steamed green beans.  Not quite full yet, so I'm gonna throw in another vegetable and call it a day.

I have to find more convincing ways to persuade myself not to go to the snack drawer in my pub room.

Invest in sugarfree gum and stash it everywhere! I am a huge snacker too so if it is around I am in trouble. I do find however that snacks do not taste as good just after you've chewed minty gum. Hang in there! By making healthy choices you are being a good role model for those kids!

Bless your heart! YOU know...we all have our weaknesses. But try telling yourself JUST ONE. Take one slice of pizza, or one hand full of cheese curls or whatever the temptation...and eat it SLOWLY and savor it. Then be done with it. :-)

Cheese curls ALWAYS do me in! I'm afraid I don't have great advice other than to say we have to just stick with it & work on the willpower.
