Mind Over Matter

Here we are a week into this journey, and I have cut out all sweets, fried foods, and dairy products. Now I am craving everything under the sun.  Kashi Heart to Heart has become my substitute for cookies and ice cream; how sad is that?

We were at the mall yesterday, and the kids wanted cookies from American Cookie Company (or whatever it is called). I could feel my mouth watering, and my heart racing, like in the vampire movies before the vampire feeds off the human. I might have even started sweating. It took everything in my power not to snatch that colossal M&M cookie from Leah, because it was so calling my name. Of course Devin had no mercy at all. He ate both of those macadamia nut cookies like it was his first time ever eating a cookie in his life. Then he had the nerve to brag about scarfing them down. Kids!!! What did I do I got home? Ate a bowl of cereal (tear).

If you are interested in purchasing stock, you might want to consider Silk Soy Milk, Kashi, and Fiber One. With all the cereal I have been eating, their stock should pretty much double. Cereal for breakfast, Fiber One stack bar for lunch, and a bowl of cereal for dinner. I have to get my sweet fix from somewhere (rolling my eyes). Last night I had cereal and green beans, delicious right? Ha! But I wanted something sweet to eat.

Oh and for those of you who are thinking that I eat a big bowl of cereal, um yeah NO! I eat a cup of cereal with a cup of milk. I have small bowl, and if my food cannot fit into that bowl then I can’t eat it. I am trying to practice moderation. Well at least at home I am trying to practice. It all starts at home.

  1. You are doing good. I could not imagine cutting all that out of my diet at one time. Unfortunately, I suck at this game. Had a BigMac meal for lunch and Wendy's chicken nuggets for dinner. I keep saying I'm going to walk or go to the gym, but it hasn't happened. I suck!
