BuffyBear's Journal, 26 September 2012

Looking forward to, but at the same time dreading, tonight's birthday party. It is at my favorite Mexican restaurant and my greatest enemy will be there - fresh hot tortilla chips. Give me strength!

But on a positive note, I am starting to have more energy. Yesterday, I worked from 7 AM to 6 PM, went home, cooked dinner, and then went to the mall to buy the gift for the party tonight. I haven't been able to pull something like that off in a long time - must be the fall weather!

My thankfulness today is for feeling good!

Nothing beats feeling good!! What ever changes you have made must be working Buffy! Now tonight you are going to have to face your tortilla chip demons and look them straight in the eye and say "You know what....you are just not worth it!!"

Tracy - as usual, you are right on target! Eating chips are just not worth it. I've come too far - no turning back now!

Bren - You should know - you've put in your share of full days lately! And I'll remember your words tonight when they set those chips on the table.

Love those days when I can go from sun up to sun down full of energy. Thoughts are with you tonight and the bowl of chips, Mexican is my favorite also !

Buff -- I'll be thinking about you - I couldn't resist those buggers when daughters took me to Mexican on Sunday. Be sure to keep them on the other side of the table and use your spoon to enjoy some salsa and guacamole sans chips :)

Notfast - as I recall from your journals, you are pretty active as well! Wishing you all the energy in the world as you prepare for your move.

Gigi - It was your journal that got me thinking about those darn chips! Once I get past those, this restaurant is great. They have grilled chicken & piles of veggies! And I love their guacamole!

Argh...that also would be hard for me. I usually eat something before I go to a place like that so I am not ravenous - or bring a baggy with some baby carrots you could dip instead of the chips. No one has to see as you subtlely sneak carrots from your purse one at a time...LOL

HCB - Have heard of people sneaking food out of a restaurant but never into one - LOL. I'll be fine. Will consider it practice for the upcoming Holiday season.

That's the way to think - you can avoid it!

Have fun tonight...just ignore that pesky Tortilla Chip monster...he is evil! The grilled chicken & veggies...oh, I can just about smell the sizzle! Have fun!

Wow you had a busy day yesterday--glad you are feeling well- it really does make a big difference in how we cope with life doesn't it. If you are anything like me I can't have "just a few" of anything that is addictive like chips or peanuts etc, so I usually try and avoid unless I'm feeling particuarly strong willed that day ;)

I was extra tired yesterday, so you must have found some of the energy I was missing! Tonight will be a challenge, but there's nothing you can't handle. You will have a wonderful time tonight, ignoring those chips, and you'll feel GREAT when you get home, knowing you had a great time and have nothing to regret!!! Enjoy!

GG - Oh yes, another monster to conquer. Sometimes I feel like Alice in Wonderland slaying the Jabberwoky.

Newmoney - Nice to meet a kindred soul. Yes, it is much easier for me not to have any than to just have one. Obviously, I'm still trying to master portion control.

Sandy - So that is where all that extra energy came from! Glad it is used up because I'd hate to have to give it back. Like your idea - I need to be thinking about how I'll feel after the party. Need to show "Pride of Ownership" over my body.

Bet you had a blast at the birthday party and enjoyed your meal. Did you pass up the chips? ;) Nice to have that extra energy and feel good all day long. Stay strong.

Buffy I hope you made us proud in your demon slaying quest.......or survived to fight another day :)

are you having chip eating remorse today or can you proudly say "I walked away from the chips" LOL hope it was a good night for you Buffy and you could show "Pride of Ownership" over your body and felt in control of your temptations.
