My first REAL "Free Day" Yikes!
 

Last weekend was my first "free day," but we had business in New Orleans and really didn't have time to indulge in anything. This week.. well, I was having a real bummer of a day, not feeling very positive---kind of whiney, feeling sorry for myself----so I had a threesome with my old best friends Ben & Jerry. LOL. Yep. I ate the WHOLE container! Which was pretty stupid. But, what was even more stupid was that I was hungry when I ate it! Sheesh.

But I did discover something-----the THOUGHT of it tasting good was better than it actually tasted. My reaction afterwards was "hmmn. Okay. that was interesting." But it didn't lead to craving more, thankfully, and in fact I probably wont eat it again. Wasn't NEAR as good as most of the food I eat on a regular basis!

Another thing....confession, if you will...doing lasagne for dinner!!!! Wow. But I ate light all day up until now with lean meats, veggies, etc. So, I'm not allowing myself to feel bad about some lasagne and a huge salad. We all know where THAT kind of thinking goes: guilt, self-incrimination, negative self-talk, more guilt----which often leads to eating more. Nope. Not going there.

Okay... that's my confession on my first "free day."

thanks for listening.

So.. how many Hail Mary's or Our Fathers is this? I'm not Catholic, so maybe there's another atonement I need to know about?

LOL :wave:
