Today is an "anniversary" for me...
| Thu, 09-15-2005 - 5:18pm |
I'm celebrating something that is probably going to sound pretty weird - today it has been 2 months since I last had "junk food". My biggest downfall has always been my love of "candy" - specifically salt and vinegar potato chips and chocolate bars. For years I'd have one or the other - or both - every single day, and portion sizes were gradually increasing. I can NOT allow myself reasonable size treats of these foods, as they make me lose all control. I had a "moment" at the grocery store today - I don't know if I was ready to cave or if I was just testing myself..I walked down the potato chip aisle, and actually felt *relieved* that they were all out of Salt and Vinegar. Two months is definitely the longest I've gone without that kind of junk since I was a very young child! Now I need to work on increasing my fruits and vegetables - I was doing really well for a while, but haven't had more than 1 or 2 servings a day in over a week.

Take care,
Chelsea
Oh... my... God... I *love* salt and vinegar chips, so I know exactly how you're feeling. Man, they're great, especially during your time of the month. I don't know why, but I love salty, tart things then. Chocolate is a close second, but you can get dark, dark chocolate and have it be healthy, you know? Salt and vinegar chips, though, are high fat and sodium... Man, I miss them!
Good job on curbing the junk food need, though!
LOL I have those "moments" all the time.

Congrats on curbing the junk food need!! I luckily dont have that problem(grins). Once in a while i crave chips but if I keep them out they are not here so I cant have them. I really love ice cream though!! I now buy it in the little pints so I dont get a HUGE bowl!! It seems to be working I am only eating it a few nights a week now!! Keep up the GREAT work!!
