Right now, the hardest thing for me to deal with in getting healthy is making sure I eat right. I don't know that I've ever noticed how prone I am to emotional eating until I spent the last few weeks craving cookies and chocolate. Now, I know that both can be eaten in moderation, but it has seriously become a problem. When I buy cookies I just can't seem to grasp the concept of portion control. Generally, I just try and keep that out of the house instead.
Today my food planning just kind of went out the window. I ate two small pumpkin muffins for breakfast and they were excellent! I planned on eating lunch but things got pushed around so much that I ended up going almost six hours between breakfast and "lunch." Thanks to the moving schedule, I had to go to the food store hungry or they would close. Thankfully, with my list in hand I only bought three things I didn't intend to - turkey dogs, hot dog buns, and cheese. I was just thinking of what I could eat when I got home!
I also brought apples at the store, which is kind of funny since I really don't like apples. Wait, that's not true. It's not that I don't like apples, it's just that I don't like them whole. Seriously. I like them cut up, plain or with caramel/peanut butter, as apple juice, applesauce, etc. Not whole. So, I bought five apples and figure maybe I will cut them up and actually eat them this time. Maybe.
Cut up an apple. Sprinkle cinnamon on it. Put it in the microwave until soft. Depends on the mic how long to keep it in. Might take a couple minutes. Just don't buy the cookies and junk and bring them home. Pass them up in the store. When you get home, you'll be glad you did. They are just NOT worth eating. Remember, you want to get healthy. Sugar turns to fat. Sugar makes your clothes tight. Sugar is POISON.
ReplyDeleteI love sugar. I talk myself out of a lot of things. Today I wanted ice cream so bad. Instead, I passed and put the money I would have spent on it into my saving jar. So glad I did.
Love ya, Aunt Sharon
