How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Fell off the Wagon Today….

in Uncategorized on


It started out innocently enough..

Just 1 arrowroot cookie. Okay so it was before my morning coffee. Don’t judge.

Had that healthy tasteless oatmeal for breakfast, side of fruit.

But then…it was all downhill from there.

Bacon and Tomato Sandwich. With EXTRA Mayo.
Just a couple of chocolate chips. I don’t know why?
Homemade Mac and Cheese for Dinner. Heavy on the cream and heavy on the cheese glorious cheese. Hey, that’s what the kids were having and I was too tired to make a different meal for me.
Then a coke. It’s been SOOOO LONG since I have indulged in a coke! Why did I crack open that coke?
When you are having a pop you must also have….
Popcorn
AND Extra Butter. Not that healthy “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” butter. Real Butter.
Crap. Who left the box of Macaroons right here on the kitchen counter.
They might go stale. Can’t let them go to waste.

Yeah, clearly I’m not an emotional eater.

Someone stop me.

Sigh. Tomorrow is another day.

    1. Oh I hear you, I did the same thing for the last few days since I got home from Vegas. Could it be that I left $1,000. there? I have been eating like it’s my last day on earth!

    4. I have skinned knees and a bruised bottom from falling off so much!

      These days, I find it better to just dangle my feet off the back and drag my toe in the dirt once in a while. It’s hard to hang on at that point!

      The problem with “tomorrow” is that bacon still exists. Damnit.

    6. I started out with something healthy…then I ran into one of my bosses, who is a FOOD JUNKIE. He got me started on these candies, I ate one..continued to two…then ended up taking the whole dish to my desk. I ATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
      OINK!

      I hate food. No..NO.. I LOVE FOOD. what am I saying?

      Tomorrow is another day, how right you are…

    8. I will admit this to you and you only, blogger friend whom I have only known for a few weeks now.

      I had a mountain dew today. I have JUMPED off the freaking wagon.

      It happens mama. Tomorrow is a new day!

    9. I fall off the wagon alllll the time! I just put on my elbow and knee pads and continue on. I like to have my cake and eat it too!

    10. will power, shmill power. Your dying thought is unlikley to be “ohh wish I’d dieted harder” (unless you weigh like 90 stone!)
      The same as it won’t be “ohh I wish I’d cleaned more” (unless you are under a pile of papers)

      actually I’m losing my own argument here – oh well – look into the sunset – long for Tara and then say “tomorrow IS another day”

    11. Hehe. Am a sucker for macaroons, too. Thought about posting a picture of me biting into a macaroon on today’s post. Do you know Laduree? They used to have shops in Paris only, but recently opened 2 in London. They are my downfall…
