Hostile Takeover

Wow...My inner brat is initiating a hostile takeover and has taken me prisoner! 

I really need to take a good look at what is really bothering me cause I have been a major munch monster.  I did great yesterday...until dinner. I had both of my shakes for breakfast and lunch and had my protein bars for snacks (yum) but then dinner hit!  I was not starving or anything but somehow I managed to inhale a huge Philly's Best sub and pizza fries!  Pizza fries???  Really???  What is that about!  I know that is not good for me or going to get me towards my goal! I also re-weighed myself today and I'm back up to where I started.  Either the scale was wrong on Wednesday when it said I lost 5 pounds or the Philly's Best night really did me in!

I always felt that I was rewarding myself after having a tough day by eating something that I love for dinner. It may have been "rewarding" for the 30 minutes that I was eating but right afterwards I felt crappy and today I feel guilty....hmmmm...not so rewarding.  Actually it feels more like a punishment. I think that the best reward would have been to have a healthy dinner and take a walk with my hubby. Maybe I'll try that tonight! :)

I love the idea of paying attention to my inner brat! I'm told I'm supposed to name her so let’s call her Fidget the Widget (*this was the name my daddy used to call me when I was a little girl).  Fidget really likes to be rewarded for a job well done and equally loves to tantrum when she is not happy. I've been working long hours with very little play time and I think that is one of the reason's Fidget is not happy. Fidget the Widget also wants to be skinny and healthy and to have a baby RIGHT NOW!!!  She is a little impatient!  So, Fidget, I'm listening...
