I'm off the wagon

It's official. I'm off the wagon. The good news is that my pants still fit. The bad news is I feel like I've gained 30 lbs.

For example, I have a meeting at work every other week. This is one of the few meetings that someone is required to bring a snack. We all take turns bringing in treats and I usually try to rock the boat by bringing in something semi-healthy. Today was the regular - sweet baked goods and salty chips and salsa. So what do I do? Go straight for the mini peanut butter cups. I like chips and salsa as much as the next girl (as long as it's mild salsa), but I have been in a sweet-searching mode lately. I really do believe the research that says once you start eating sweets, you want more - like an addiction.

So, I better go get on the treadmill to make up for all of those pb cups.

I too am off the wagon. I havent quit WW yet, but I'm off of the wagon. Christmas time is so freaking hard! I made it through thanksgiving, made a healthy meal but then was attacked by left overs. I also joined curves awhile back again and did their "No Gain Challenge" - the idea being that if you come 3x per week and don't gain from thanksgiving through christmas, you win a prize. I was really motivated, but then I got seriously ill for a week and lost the challange in the second week. My name was taken off the chart and I was seriously upset, so I gave up. I hate to be a cliche, but I'm really hoping to get back on the wagon sometime after christmas/new years.

I'm having a regular soda right now... :\

Also - I agree with the research about the sweets and once you have one, you want another one.

At work, it's a part of my duties to fill the most delicious candy dish on the planet. Every assortment of chocolate is in this dish. It sits about 3 feet away from my desk and is always in plain view. If I have one, I'm doomed.

I wish it wasn't there at all. But, there is nothing I can do about it nor is there an alternative place for the dish...stupid candy dish.

What i did to to help myself stay out of that dish is stop buying the reeces candy assortment for the dish. If its there I'll eat it.

Luckily the candy dish/food area is pretty far from my cube. I only keep sugar free hard candy on my desk so I'm not tempted :)

We will get back on track after the holidays I'm sure.
