I hoped up until the last minute that I'd be able to move the dot down on my graph. No such luck! In fact, after last night's party I was amazed this morning's weigh-in didn't reflect my binge. It could still catch up with me if I'm not very careful the next few days.
I was miserable last night after all I'd put into my mouth. I hadn't done anything like that since I started working the Weight Watcher's point system, nearly three months ago. What a great reminder that I don't want to go back to the old ways. Too much sugar, too much quantity, forgetting to say the magic word to myself: NO!
There were two people battling it out last night. The conversation should have gone like this...
I want a cookie. NO!
I want another cookie. NO!
Those cookies are sure good. I'll take another. NO!
I want a full plate. NO!
I want seconds. NO!
One chip and dip didn't satisfy. I want another. NO!
I'd like a third chip with cheese on it. NO!
I should ask for water, but they are offering apple cider. Okay. NO!
Yes, I'll have another apple cider. NO!
Etc., etc. etc....
Either I didn't hear the NO's or I didn't say them at all to myself.
The good news is that the year is starting over, and so can I. YES! YES! YES!
