Confession Time

Forgive me, Weight Watchers, for I have cheated...

Last night all was going well and good until the before-dinner munchies hit. 

Dinner wasn't ready yet, and I forgot about my snacking plan to have some celery and laughing cow cheese.  I like the celery and laughing cow, but unfortunately, I like Povotica bread even better and there was some leftover slices sitting on the counter calling to me last night.  If you've never had Povotica bread, then I feel a little sad for you.  It's crushed nuts, brown sugar, butter, and yummy ooey gooeyness all rolled up and baked as a bread.  Mmmmm.....  I had bought some for Christmas, and the leftovers have been sitting there for 2 weeks just happy to be ignored, until last night when they would no longer accept my disdainful shunning. 

So I ate them.  About 2 1/2 slices of Eastern European deliciousness.  Thankfully, that's where I stopped...pretty much.  Normally I would say 'screw it' and continue eating my way through the house.  But I actually got full (that doesn't happen often) and didn't eat again until supper.  Even supper wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.  One big bowl of chili and crackers.  I can usually eat 2-3 bowls, so this was quite a feat for me.  Before bed I had a bowl of Velvet Creme popcorn that I shared with Lily, which also could have been way worse.  Just a couple of weeks ago I was going back for 3rds and 4ths of the popcorn.

So I may not have made the best choices last night, but at least I am being accountable for them, and really, they weren't as bad as they have been in the past.  So kudos to me.

And the best part is that the scale went down a pound since yesterday.  Woo hoo!  I know most people weight in only once a week, and that's fine, but I like to weigh myself every morning.  It doesn't affect how I eat in a negative way, in fact, if I see a gain I either think "Well, I deserved that," or "Gotta make sure to watch what I eat more carefully today."  And I'm only a once-a-day weigher.  I don't go nuts and weigh myself more than that.  It's not for everyone, but it works for me.
