Default Weekly (or WEAKLY) cheats


Hi everyone,
Nice to meet you all.
Thought I'd stop by and reveal my confession....

Every week, my husband and I have lunch with my mother-in-law and my nephew. We always, always (boring) go to Pizza Hut. I don't have an issue with going there because I always have a salad from the salad bar. Sometimes, I even grab a slice of pizza and scrape the chessy toppings off and throw the whole crust slice away. My problem is, when I have that salad, I ALWAYS have two chessy breadsticks with it. I don't know what it is about those things. Why do they hafta put those on the buffett anyway??...lol.

Here's where I justify my cheat. I only have two. They are only about 4-5 inches in length...so I'm eating less than a foot of cheese covered breadsticks. I've never had any ill effects from them. I cut back all of my other carbs for the day. I don't get cravings after indulging myself. This makes it okay, right?? lol

So how about another cheat?? I've done pizza for dinner on Friday nights for my kids for as long as I can remember. Something that they have always loved. Now being on a LC WOL, I shouldn't be eating the stuff. However, every Friday night, I eat three slices of pizza with the kids. I don't scrape the toppings off. I actually eat the whole slice except for the end piece of the crust (and I've never eaten that unless it was stuffed). Again, no wieght gain from this cheat, but boy does it make me feel like a slug.

The thought of getting off so easy with the pizza for the kids on Fridays but then having to cook myself something different just doesn't seem fair. By the end of the week, just about everything I've cooked ahead of time to make my food choices easier is just about gone. I really do need to stop doing the pizza thing, don't I??
