I woke up this morning feeling like crap because last night I indulged in more than my share of sweets. Feeling this way was a big wake-up call for me because I haven’t felt like this in the morning since I started my weight loss program on August 1st. When I eat sugary foods late at night I always feel cruddy the next day.
It started with an official dessert which was a 70 calorie low-fat ice cream bar. No problem there. Then I had a ginger cookie my daughter made. Then over the next few hours up until about 11:00pm I had 2 more ginger cookies, a yogurt, a bowl of grapes and 3 mini Take 5 bars from the Halloween stash.
Halloween is a little over a week away and I can tell it is going to be a problem for me. So, I’m declaring yesterday as my Halloween. That’s it for me, over the next 2 weeks I am going to be very cautious with eating sweets and I will do my best to avoid eating any Halloween candy, either from the stash currently in the house or after, when the kids will have bucketsful laying about.
People stronger than me could resolve to eat no more than 2 pieces a day or something like that. I am not wired that way. I have to stick to none and that’s what I am going to do.
This candy quiz will have to be enough for me.
