How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Defeated By A Chocolate Chip Cookie

in Everyday on

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Drastic weather changes means headaches galore.

Extra headaches make me super moody.

Hormonal swings triggers emotional eating.

Sometimes I feel like a hamster stuck on a very cruel hamster wheel.

This past week, I did what I could to take care of me.

I  drank my 8 glasses of water every day, actually, more like 10.

Ate healthy meals.

Choose the stairs over the elevator.

Hit the treadmill.

Got a solid seven hours of sleep a night.  This is a minor miracle.

Then I picked up that cookie dough and muffin mix I ordered months ago for the girls school fundraiser.

It called to me. Bake me! Bake me!

I baked it.

I ate it.

Laugh away scale.

Defeated by headaches and the power of a Chocolate Chip Cookie.

    1. Sometimes you just need to eat a chocolate chip cookie! 🙂 Sounds like you are doing great. Keep doing what you are doing and remember, life is too short not to have a chocolate chip cookie every once-in-a-while. 🙂

    6. oh wow you get that cookie dough that calls out to you, too. although better to be defeated by one cookie than by the entire batch!

    8. Sometimes you just have to let these things go. You were great 95%of your week. What’s a cookie or two?

      • This is what I will tell myself again this weekend when I dive into a big old bag of chips! LOL

    9. Haha.. Who could blame you? A homemade cookie is impossible to resist. It’s a given 🙂

    12. I agree , i have them same cravings i always wanna eat things i shouldn’t but hey its all good 🙂

    15. Hey it’s justifiable!! You never ever turn down the call of a cookie, it’s for the greater good… of satisfying your cravings 😉
