Really Really Really bad day for me. I love sweets, I adore sweets, I worship sweets that's just how I roll. My mom makes the best cookies around, she has been super good about not making any for me to bring to work since I started this new journey because I know they are my downfall. Well over the weekend we got talking about it and how she felt bad for the girls here because she hasn't been making them treats and I told her yes they have been complaining but its hard for me since they are my weakness. So she worn me down and I said OK next time you bake for Chris (my daughter) work you can make some for the girls and I will just have to stay strong. Well today was the day and I didn't stay strong. I had 4 in the car on the way to work because they were still warm and that is when they are the best and I have had 4 since then. So now I feel sick because I have had way to much sugar and I have screwed up my whole weight watchers day because I only have 1 point left after all those cookies and I feel depressed because I thought I had more control over my eating then I have. So back to the drawing board for me for the rest of the day and tomorrow I will start all over about getting control. NO MORE COOKIES FROM MOM

Hang in there. One day will not end your journey. Put the cookies someplace where you can't see them! One day at a time!

Don't beat yourself up, everyone has a weakness. Even Superman!! Just say "that's out of my system, tomorrow I begin again!"

Maybe this will help - Purchase a bag of 60% cacao ghirardelli chocolate chips. Next time you get a sugar craving, take a small handful of these and eat one or two at a time, savoring the flavor. You will end up satisfying your sweet tooth and eating less sugar in the process!

Don't look back. Tomorrow begin again. Can't tell you how many times I've had to tell myself that. But it works.

Is your Mom interested in all this enough that she might try some low-cal/low-carb baking for you? I have yet to try it myself, but I've heard there are possibilities that no one would know....

STOP right NOW! stop beating yourself up. the negative mind set just sends you into a spiral down. Cut yourself some slack and stop trying to be perfect because you aren't - none of us are and when we put ourselves to such high standards as "never" we will fail. Enjoy the 4 cookies! then cut back something later today. Next time spread them out through the day - ask your mom to make you some that are in the weight watchers cookbook. Many treats can be made healthy. e.g. using apple sauce instead of syrup, steva, or other natural sweetners. I've had them and they are good. check the internet for more recipies. Stop denying yourself and allow yourself to eat whatever you want in moderation. As you can see, you ate 4 because you felt denied - it's a mind trick we play on ourselves. Say I can eat anything in small portions! I ate pizza the other day - I knew I would be up from fluid retention, but today I'm back down. Look, God created all foods for us to eat - enjoy what he created. Stop the negative self talk every time you enjoy something. Now just move on and enjoy the rest of your day - the sick feeling will go away once your blood sugar goes down. Eat some protein and drink some water - that will help or go for a walk - quick easy way to down the blood sugar. Have a blessed day and love yourself more!
