Self-Control

August 23rd, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Christy |

I went out of town this weekend. Friday night we went to a WNBA game (WOOT!) and had a FREAKING blast. I also maintained some self-control (WOOT!). I had 1/2 a hot dog, a handful of nachos, a shared ice cream bar, and 1 beer. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Oh, I ate a hamburger, too. So yeah, overall, I’m pretty proud of myself. I haven’t calculated my points, yet, but I’m sure I used all of my WW flex points.

Yesterday we went to Sea World, and again, I managed to do pretty well. Beforehand, we had lunch at a restuarant that featured a light and fit menu. I had a cobb salad with 399 calories! At Sea World, I had a few bites of some Dippin’ Dots and drank plenty of water.

And then, we left the park and discovered my truck had been broken into. Oh yes. My laptop was gone. I cried. I was so pissed that some scum bag would do that. Stupid, stupid, stupid. After we filed a report with security, we hit the road to eat dinner. Normally, I would have said fuck it and eaten whatever I wanted to comfort myself. Instead, we ate at the same restaurant where we’d eaten lunch, and I ordered girlled salmon. Now, I did have some spinach dip and a piece of fried zucchini as an appetizer, but I’m proud of myself for maintaining my self-control and not using food to as a salve for my wounds.

  • I want to punch those thieving bastard ass monkeys in the neck.
    Good job for not going face first into a tub of ice cream, hooker!
  • Thanks, girl! If they every find them, I'll tell 'em you're first in line. Then I'll finish them off!!!

    I'm so mad that some thievin' jerk broke into your truck, so jealous that you're getting a Mac, and SO SO SO proud of you and your self-control!!

    Love you!

    Good on you for staying strong despite the problems of the day. First of all, when you go to replace your laptop, I TOTALLY suggest you get a Mac, but aside from that... you did a great job! Way better than I've done with a week with nothing more than vacation-planning to get in the way. Keep it up! And I TOTALLY hope the jerk that took the computer can't figure out how to break into it!!

  • sweet! man, i still can't believe some asshat did that, that SUCKS! but i'm proud of you for maintaining your self control! Seriously, that's hard especially when you're away at fun places with lots of yummies and even harder when something really pisses you off and you just want some chocolate and a lot of margaritas to take the sting out of it. (that would be me) so, you rock.
  • That sucks about your laptop! But awesome that you were able to maintain the self-control through it all. Way to go!

    How awful about your lap top!!!! You deserve MAJOR kudos for not emotional eating after that! I don't know if I would have been that strong!!
  • I've discovered that water is really what helps me. Yesterday I didn't drink much water and had some pizza. I'm pretty sure the scale hates me right now. :|

    Oh well, today is a fresh day and a fresh start and I'm already on track!
