If you  notice in one of my posts today, I pasted a recipe from WW.com - Chocolatey Chocolate chip cookies. YUM. Yum. That’s the problem.  There’s a reason I don’t usually make things like this.  I buy “yucky” (to me) cookies for dh to take to work and I make sure they’re something that’s not even a temptation.  These “1 pointers” were a HUGE temptation. Notice my food log. 8 points.  Ug.  I don’t even know if that’s accurate. Could be 10.  I tried to count, and at the same time, I think I tried not to count…  I didn’t want to know how many it had been each time I went back.  This is my downfall… my problem area.  It’s the reason why every time I go to my in-law’s house, I have such a hard time.  I don’t do well with temptation around, beckoning to me, calling my name.  WHY CAN”T I JUST HAVE SELF CONTROL?!?!  Well, I don’t. And I know that. I have self control in not buying them. I have self control in not stopping at Dairy Queen or  _______ (wherever… fill in the blank).  BUT, I don’t seem to have self control when they’re around, w/in easy access.  Sometimes I wonder what my weight loss would be if I didn’t have these once a week crashes!  For a while there I was so impressed that I didn’t even WANT sugary treats.  Where did I go wrong?!!? (:  So, this is my struggle.  I know that I can’t just eat one, or eat them in “moderation”. And so, I know for me at least, I can’t have them around.  It just doesn’t work for me.  Can anyone relate????

O and I was reading someone’s (I can’t remember whose…) blog yesterday and they measure their weight loss in kilos.. and I was joking with her that she should list her weight loss in lbs because it sounds like more, and maybe she should list her goal (weight to lose), in kilos! Ha. So, I told her I was thinking maybe it would be more encouraging if I listed my weight loss in grams!  Think about how much that would be!  So far since starting WW, I’ve lost….

3 628.73896 grams !!!!!!  

Amazing! I know.

Thank you very much (:
