Apparently, Smug Goes Before A Fall

So the past few days kicked my ass unfortunately. It started out harmlessly enough, we went to a friend’s birthday party on Saturday night and it was catered with awesome Chinese food. So I ate. Then Sunday we went to dinner with friends at the Olive Garden. And I ate some more. It wasn’t that bad, it’s not like I think that actively trying to lose weight means that I’m never allowed to just eat a regular meal without worrying about it’s calorie content. The problem is that I have the tendency when I spend two days eating for pleasure to find myself on day three fantasizing about what wonderful possibilities there are to eat that day and maybe the next and so on and so forth. And this is why yesterday I had brownies for breakfast, a huge order of pad thai for lunch, jack in the box for dinner, and a hot fudge sundae for dessert. Just because. I had no other reason other than I felt like it. Luckily today I felt like getting back on plan. Eating like that makes me uncomfortable, bloated, lethargic, you name it. So today I once again have all my healthy goodies. I’m more of a slight bitch than a smug one but I’m climbing my way back up the self-satisfied ladder!

Yep, Still A Smug Bitch

So I'm sitting here at work about to eat a bowl of cherries and I'm still all pleased with myself about all the good food choices that I've been making. In my lunch bag I brought more fruit, soup, oatmeal, some almonds, and a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. And not only am I sitting here gloating over my healthy goodies but I'm sitting here in a pair of pants that I have never worn before because I jumped on the buffet train the week I bought them and so have not fit into them all summer. Until today. Yay!

Smug Bitch

Ha ha! Yes, I am a smug bitch sometimes. So far this morning I’ve had a large fuji apple (they’re my favorite and they’re absolutely delicious!), a big bowl of strawberries, and a light yogurt. And I’ve got all kinds of little goodies in my lunch bag to last me until tonight; I’ve got lots more fruit and yogurt, a cup of soup, a 100-calorie snack pack and some oatmeal, some almonds, and a nice salad. It’s awesome. And it’s funny, because I crack myself up at how pleased with myself I get when I’m eating like this and actually enjoying it. I totally have a little smirk on my face! And that's what's funny. I can be all down on myself like I was feeling over the past few posts but when I do a couple of things that feel right and like they're in line with my goals, I just bounce right back. And that's good. It shows me what I constantly forget: just when I think I've given my all and I'm ready to give up, I find that I still have more fight in me.
