Well, I'm still obsessed with food. To fix that I walked around the grocery store. When I'm trying to loose weight I always get me standard favorites. It can get a bit boring. Today I had some free time, so I walked around the grocery. I was hunting for things I could eat and have never tried before.
Now I know everyone says you can eat whatever you want if you eat it in moderation. I'm really bad with morderation. I mean REAL bad. Seriously, if I could eat cupcakes in moderation I wouldn't be here.
After my night of Lucky Charms I knew I needed to find something to calm my sweet tooth if I could. I found organic cookies that had an awesome looking lable. You know, like the stuff you find in skinny peoples houses. This packaging was doing it's job. It was telegraphing, "if you eat me you will be skinny and be able to wear yoga pants out in the real world so everyone can be jealous because you have obviously just been wrking out even though you haven't." I mean even the nutrition lable look cool, but then I discoverd they were like thin waffer things. Upon further consideration I realized it would be something that I would feel like I wasted calories on after eating. I found some other fun and healthy'ish looking stuff. I even put ssome of it in my cart. Nothing I put in my cart seemed to be the item I was really in search of.
Then I did something I hate doing, diet or not. I went down the snack aisle! (bum bum buuuum) I consider every single item in a "100 Calories" box. I have purchased those things before and have always been disappointed. I considered WW ice cream bars. They are yummy and don't make me feel guilty after having one...if I can stop at one. Then I saw a light at the end of the aisle.
Pre-Packaged Rice Crispy Treats!!! Healthy? No. A low cal sweet tooth crusher? Yes indeed.
In hind sight it was a real no brainer for me. I can't believe it took me so long.
After my purchase I was less worried about my food the rest of the day. I eat heathy and stayed right at my calorie goal for the day. I had my Rice Crispy Treat after dinner! It was exactly what the doctor ordered, and I only had one! I even felt like hopping on my stationary bike for a bit tonight. I feel really good and proud of myself right now. I hope tomorrow is as kind.
