Note to self and other Things I Find Interesting

Note to self. 

1. Don't get a pint of sugar free ice cream and think you  will just eat a quarter of it. Apparently  I cant measure appropriately, before I knew it  I had polished off the whole thing. 680 calories isn't great but its also not earth shattering. If it was premium ice cream it would have been deadly. lol  Perhaps this is exactly the reason someone invented the ice cream scoop, to protect one from themselves when eyeball measuring challenged or while simply automatic eating.

2. There may have been a reason that you couldn't find the basket of chocolate chip cookies at work. It might have been because they are not on your Forever Diet and  God/Higher Power(what ever you believe) was protecting you from your self. Knowing that you were just bored with the prospect of another cup of Yogurt  and also knew that your rationalization of honoring a  friend, eating a cookie that someone made for her birthday,  not the best choice in honoring your friend when a card or a hug would have been just as nice even better.  Instead of searching for these missing cookies all around the department your time would have been better used by saying a prayer of thanks and praise that once again you were being protected from yourself.

3. It really is OK  to toss out the second pair of pants what wont support the weight of your beeper and fail to stay in the upright position when walking.  Last thing I want to do is accidentally flash my underwear while walking down the hall in the work place, store or even walking into my house, Even if I have painstakingly color coordinated my granny panties to match my pants or my shirt..

4. It's very appropriate to take a moment even if to myself to applaud the fact that  I could actually fit comfortably into the chair at a recent conference I attended,   It's not bragging if its just a moment and the celebration is low key to not bring tons of attention to myself or any attention for that matter. These are milestones, rewards from all the hard work and can be cherished even if I am the only one that is aware.  I have always tried very hard to be unassuming and not in someones face with stuff. Humble. I don't want to loose that and become obnoxious but also I think there are times one can appropriately put themselves out there, a little attention for the right reason I am thinking is OK.  Feel free to let me know if I have this concept all wrong.

5.  I learned today that when I am foraging for food its probably because I am bored, avoiding something(? housework) or have a craving that I am not satisfying. Perhaps its going to be better in the long run to have what I want either a little or a lot. My a lot is still much less than its ever been, thank you lap band. I think otherwise I end up eating a lot of little things, while all very healthy  still have some calories that over time would add up.


I guess that is it for now. Don't want to overwhelm.  Thanks for reading.
