Hormones..

Well, not wanting to make excuses, but I new after that binge effort that something was due. And of course, along with that 'thing' being due, I also suffer insomnia. What a pain in the proverbial. Every month. Without fail.

The entire bag of goodies I ate, weighed 250gms. It contained, wait for it, wait for it, 1456 calories. Yup , impressive.

So why the heck didn't I just plow through 6 portions of weight watchers caramel creamed rice? Or eaten some chocolate? Surely it couldn't have added up to the same amount as the 1456 calorie bag of crap that I had consumed.

So here's what I am going to do. I'm gonna put a big red number on the fridge, that tells me what date I'm gonna expect " it" and I'm going to give myself permission, to acknowledge that I crave sweet things at TTOTM, and have on the READY, my weight watchers goodies.

( confession time- last time I was in Abe Dahbi, I went to a supermarket and found the ww bars with the fruit or chocolate inside them- bought nearly 6 months ago, and have barely touched them. cant remember what they are called, but they are like cake bars). I bought a stack of boxes. I need to be prepared.

Boy, this blogging does one thing- it helps to clear your mind and maybe put things into perspective as you "put things out there".

You know, I was reading something somewhere about taking 30 minutes at the start of the week to plan. Plan meals, plan dealing with potential eating out, plan when Im going to the shops to get my narnies ( that go brown in about 6 hours of bring them home.) This is something I really need to start doing. Will let you know how I go with that.

Now , I have given myself a huge bagging for the late night eating thing, but I have also done sone reaaaaaaal good things this week. For example, this place is a very sociable and you can end up eating at friends houses ALOT. Well, last night I grabbed some spag boll sauce out of the fridge, grabbed the container of couscous and took it to a friends house. This way, I was not dependent completely on what she served up. Mind you, she has 5 kids , so I should bring something anyway, but it was good that I brought something HEALTHY.

Yah me. I may just get there.
