Cookies && Cake

Hello Everyone! Well I feel like it's been awhile since I've posted. I've been really busy, except for today when I was extremely "unbusy" which was not good! I know we've all heard that saying idle hands are the devil's play things. Well I may or may not have gotten myself in trouble today with that one.

First off, I want to start by saying that my number one "food kryptonite" is cookie dough. Chocolate chip is my favorite, but let's not kid ourselves, any would do. I like brownie and cake mix as well, but I can control myself wonderfully with those. A simple spoon lick or mixer will do.

I made cookies on Friday night. I had the mixers and several spoonfuls. But I'll give myself credit where it's due. I had put some in a bowl to eat later, because refridgerated cookie dough is the best. BUT I threw it away. In total I may have eaten like 6 uncooked cookies. That is NOTHING compared to the damage that used to happen. Used to I would have ate the whole bowl in two days.

Then today was extremely odd and out of whack. We were soooo tired all day and took a nap, before we went out shopping and out to eat. That nap pushed us back to 6:40 p.m. Mom and I both still needed to shower and get ready and it really wasn't enough time to get to any stores. So we decided to go tomorrow. I had a grilled cheese, raisin bran, a turkey bacon sandwich, a ham sandwich, AND cake batter. One, I just noticed thats a lot of bread, which seems dumb that I just noticed (and I've already wrote it down today once before this). Two, why the cake batter?

I literally just grabbed the one cake mix we had, whipped it up, and had a couple of spoonfuls. I can't eat very much cake batter so that wasn't the nightmare it could have been. It got dumped ino the trash as well.

So in total.. It wasn't a complete nightmare the way it could have been. I had control to walk away from it. Now I'm working on keeping control to not make those things. It's been very good so far, and I am going to continue to work towards progress. I really am proud of walking away from the whole mixing bowl or even half of it. I feel like gross having to write that I made these things, while other people are posting pictures of their delicious healthy meals and while I normally am eating well.

I'm posting this for several reasons.

1. You are not alone, everyone struggles.

2. You can't be superwoman all the time.

3. You have the power to move on from bad decisions.

Hope everyone makes good decisions this week, and bounces back from the bad ones!
