Totally "failing"
Sometimes I get into funks and it is almost impossible for me to get out of them on my own. They have to run their course and I am simply just along for the ride. This week has been one of those times. More often than not (ok pretty much every time...) a funk includes eating massive amounts of junk food. Maybe it's hormone related...you know chocolate and McDonald's around the time our favorite "relative" comes to visit? Anyway, Friday I was in one of such total funks. For lunch Anne and I shared a completely yummy lunch of mac and cheese and chicken nuggets with ketchup. Kid food still tastes so delicious to me. For dinner we had Papa John's, which is my favorite pizza. (To our credit we did have a veggie pizza. To our detriment, we couldn't even manage to have a salad with it.) Yesterday was Andrina's birthday party. We did great at breakfast but lunch was a bit of a crap shoot. The actual lunch was good but the Doritos in bowls all around us got the better of me. As did the cake with an inch of frosting, which is also my favorite. Of course, because I had "blown" the day and wasn't super hungry for dinner, I had leftover pizza for dinner. And of course because I had now "blown" lunch and dinner, a doughnut for dessert seemed like the logical choice. Hopefully we can get back on track today.

I hear you on the funk thing. Yesterday I was shopping when I should have been at home and every item put in the cart screamed "go home!" but I didn't listed until two hours and $100 later. sigh.
Good luck correcting the ships direction today!

oh don't be so hard on yourself! you have no control over what was offered to eat at the birthday party! There were healthier chicken kabobs (like only 80 calories per kabob and that's with the marinade) and grilled chicken breasts too. The pasta salad was made fresh that morning with olive oil, a healthy fat, not vegetable oil. Yes, doritos and cake are total junk food, but those types of foods will almost always be offered at celebrations and get togethers because those events are supposed to be hedonistic to an extent. It may be helpful to you know that I firmly believe that it is actually healthy to induldge the "id" once in a while! I really think that sometimes it is necessary to induldge that primitive, primal part of ourselves. It will always be there and if the induldgance is only once in a while and not hurting anyone else, then I really belive that it is ok. We can't always stay on the straight and narrow, that's simply unrealistic. You may also want to try to view the bad foods you ate as comforting and as part of our greater cultural tradition, and that is ok since you did it in moderation!
