FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

So today I had a battle of the wills sometime around 3:00 today, the food from the pantry was calling to me ya'll! By name! Here is the conversation that I had:

Food: Kylie, Kylie, C'mere KYYYYLIE! You know you want to to! You know I'm delicious!

Yours Truly: No food no! I can not succumb to your tantalizing tastes! No matter how you make me feel with your carby chocolateness!

Food: But one bite won't matter, or even TWO bites. Heck, why not have the day off? You already lost a little bit of weight! One day won't matter!

Yours Truly: Oh how you speak the tongue of logic...I see your reasoning.... but NO! One day DOES matter! I want to have a good weigh in AGAIN tomorrow!


Needless to say I have a bit of a battle with food. I wasn't hungry, I was just bored and the mid-afternoons are the absolute worst. I may or may not have literally run from oreos in the supermarket before because I was having one of my conversations (awkward).

Usually when situations arise like the one above I *try* to do a few things so that I can shift my thinking from FOOD to something else.

1. Drinking a diet soda- right now I am obsessed with Cherry Diet Dr Pepper- makes my stomach feel full and it's sweet
2. chew a piece of gum- essentially like brushing your teeth, but much more portable. And we all know nothing tastes good with minty breath
3. reading a book- today this wasn't super helpful, I'm lacking in good books lately. Sadly my budget is not covering new books for my Nook
4. Eat a small bit of what I'm craving- this is what I did today, I had a 100 calorie pack of some Keebler cookies and then readjusted my plans for dinner.

I'm about to start knitting a blanket for myself because the winter months are a'comin to Colorado pretty soon and I'll be freezing my tushy off (sadly it's not a permanent thing) and this will be keeping my hands busy.

I'll hit on the topic of exercise eventually...but I have to be doing it to have something to talk about...(I said eventually people!)
