How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Defeated By A Chocolate Chip Cookie

in Everyday on 04/20/15

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

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.

      I know about cravings because sweets of any kind are my down fall. Chocolate, pie, cookies or candy, I love it all and I try desperately to stay away from it

      I have a sweet tooth and my problem is once I start I can’t stop! I think you did very well to only eat one and it might have helped you to take your mind off your headache too and thus it was a positive thing to do 🙂

      I think it is important not to completely banish a treat

      I allow myself a treat a day, as it seems to reduce the cravings.

      moms always hate to throw food away or waste it and we’d be better if we did toss it than eat it and feel guilty……………….we’ll feel guilty either way

      I hear you! I have such a sweet tooth, it is so hard to stay on track!
