Being totally open and honest here.....
Saturday...I spent the day in the kitchen getting food ready for Sunday. We were having a work party (painting, cleaning, repairs, moving some stuff...etc etc tec) on Sunday at the studio (friends, interns and people that have bartered their manual labor for studio time)....I was feeding this army of workers.....I cooked and baked all day on Saturday.....testing and tasting each creation. I was literally sick by the end of the Saturday.
Sunday rolls around. Yes, I worked hard all day.....I ate not 'too bad' at the work party. If you don't count the cookies and chips...AND the regular soda that I was downing!!!! Of course then the work party ended, I went home, cleaned up and we segued into the superbowl festivities! More food! I did at least switch to diet soda at that point.
I don't even want to know what I weigh right now! I'm gathering the reigns though and I'm determined to not let my weekend antics slide into a weeklong spiral out of control. I'm back in control today. I'm sitting here at work and I've already decided that the rest of the regular soda (non-diet) that is in the fridge is going down the drain. I also have a fair amount of macaroni salad left. I love macaroni salad.....Todd doesn't. (he has potato salad left over). Tonight for dinner macaroni salad will be my side dish........and the rest is going into the garbage. I don't need that temptation. Late last night Todd did have the foresight to crunch up the chips and throw them away...so they are gone. Now it's just the other stuff....and I vow that by the time I go to bed tonight....it will all be gone. (most will be gone shortly after I get home from work). I did pack a healthy lunch. Last night I had dished up some of that macaroni salad into a small container for lunch. When I was actually packing my lunch, I left that container in the fridge....and only brought the healthy fruits and veggies!
I can do this!

Yes you can!!
Don't let your actions of one weekend ruin your whole week.
You can do it!!
Yes you can! I had a craving this weekend - induced by wine. I wanted a grill cheese sandwich - 2 of them!!! And yes, at 11:00 at night I ate them. I also need to pull in the reigns for a better week.
yes you can do this. good for you for recognizing the potential disaster and averting it.
Good for you for seeing the light and not taking the macaroni salad with you for lunch today. Be sure and put the rest in the garbage tonight. Don't want it tempting you.
Glad you are back on track today!!
I'm so proud of you. Mac salad is one of my favs and I don't think I could toss it. Good for Todd for getting rid of those chips. You not only can do it but you will do it.
I think you saw the light quickly enough to control the damage you did over the weekend!
