I have no self control!

Strict plans like the 24 Day Challenge were made for people like me. If you tell me to follow the rules, eat these things, not those...I'll do it. It'll work. It did work!

So does Weight Watchers. I have done Weight Watchers more times than I care to count. I have been VERY successful. I would NEVER knock their program. It is truly a livable, doable, forever way of eating. But here's my problem...you can eat anything. Just count those points and plan for it... but food is my drug of choice. And sometimes if I have a little of it...I have soooo much trouble stopping!!!

Well Friday went well. I ate a healthy and low point breakfast and lunch. I saved my points for a splurge-like dinner of pizza and even a few wings. I worked out. I was good!

Saturday started out ok. We had my daughter's 1st Communion. I was too busy for breakfast, I grabbed a low fat string cheese and an apple and headed out the door. Good choice! At the party, I was under control. I ate veggies and hummus, fresh fruit and small portions of my favorite dishes from the caterer. I had 1 cookie and a teeny tiny piece of cake. I counted...I was very close to my max for the day. We went home.

The wheels fell off the bus! I was tired. I was NOT hungry. I should have bathed the kids and went to bed. Instead, I went to my Mom's to visit with family. Who doesn't love that? But there I should have kept my mouth shut. Remember, I was NOT hungry! But I ate...hoagie pieces and chips. They were good for like a second...but I knew I shouldn't eat them and I had immediate guilt. So I ate another hoagie piece...see where I'm going with this?

Then yesterday was Cinco de Mayo...so there were tacos and chips and guacamole and margaritas....Dios Mio!!!

I could have controlled myself. I should've controlled myself. But I have no self control...especially when I'm tired! I know that. I need to plan better next time.

I'm meeting with some friends for dinner tonight. We're going to Olive Garden, which isn't the most healthy place to eat. But I'm armed with the nutritional facts. Surprisingly, Lobster Cannelloni is only 13 points +...a breadstick 4, salad is almost zero without dressing, I'll have mine on the side and dip my fork into it. I can do this!

I went to the gym at 5:15 am...I am by no means a morning person but I like to get it out of the way, lol! I ate an egg white sandwich for breakfast, a salad and fresh fruit for lunch, I have some veggies with Greek yogurt dip for a snack. I'll enjoy my dinner with friends. I'll be within my points...then I'll promptly go to bed! Wish me luck!!!

No recipe for today but I promise I'll post one soon...I saw a really yummy bisquit bake on Facebook that I'm adapting to make healthier...

Thanks for keeping me honest!!!
