Comments on: A Moment of Weakness… http://www.readrhondanelson.com/blog/index.php/2007/01/18/a-moment-of-weakness/ Fri, 18 May 2012 10:45:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Kris Starr http://www.readrhondanelson.com/blog/index.php/2007/01/18/a-moment-of-weakness/#comment-4371 Kris Starr Thu, 18 Jan 2007 20:59:39 +0000 http://www.readrhondanelson.com/blog/index.php/2007/01/18/a-moment-of-weakness/#comment-4371 I have, right this very moment, a small box of maple-flavoured fudge that my dad brought home from a business reception he attended yesterday. When he first gave it to me to look at, I tried to hand it back, but he shook his head and said, "I don't eat that stuff." So it's mine. I confess I've nibbled at it, and it's SOOO good. It's taking a LOT of willpower to not devour the entire thing immediately, but I'm surviving. I think there's hope for me, yet. :woohoo: ps. Cream puffs sound WONDERFUL, too. I'd also be eating them for breakfast if they were in my general vicinity... :D I have, right this very moment, a small box of maple-flavoured fudge that my dad brought home from a business reception he attended yesterday.

So it’s mine. I confess I’ve nibbled at it, and it’s SOOO good. It’s taking a LOT of willpower to not devour the entire thing immediately, but I’m surviving.

I think there’s hope for me, yet.

ps. Cream puffs sound WONDERFUL, too. I’d also be eating them for breakfast if they were in my general vicinity…

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. This evening go back on your diet plan. Marilyn, I feel your pain, I will be doing the same thing Sunday for my roto-rooter job on Monday :rant:. Let's just pray together on this one. Enjoy, honey. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. This evening go back on your diet plan.

Props to you for not buying the donuts though. Might I suggest the new Reese's candy bar? :devil: Marilyn, your diet sounds terrible. :-( Hope everything goes well! Jen, I ate it–and then another one–and I did enjoy it.

The developer's philosophy is if you deny yourself everything, you are more easily tempted. It seems to work for the DH. My metabolism, however, seems to have shut down and I seem to gain weight eating celery. :angry: Anyhoo, I start a new diet today -- four laxatives at noon and then some flavored liquid that I have to drink 8 ounces of every 20 minutes starting at 5:30 this afternoon. And nothing but jello, chicken broth and clear liquids after noon -- assuming I'll be able to keep that down. Yep, I'm having a roto-rooter job done tomorrow and I'm sure y'all wanted to know that. :D I plan to roll my desk chair down the hall to just outside the bathroom door and put a book and some magazines beside it. Nothing like being prepared, huh? My husband’s diet program has a free day built in each week so you can indulge without guilt.

I've been on my diet and exercise plan and really trying to be good about it. Got on the scale yesterday and had GAINED two pounds. :wtf: It made me want to go buy donuts. But I didn't. Enjoy it.

Who in the universe could resist homemade cream puffs? You know I'm a bit of a purist but if I was next door to you, I'd be begging one now. :bow: I read that if you're going to indulge, at least make it guilt-free and enjoy the heck out of every bite. Of course, for some, guilt enhances the overall pleasure, but now we're getting into deeper psychological nuances, so just eat it and enjoy it. :lol: Darlin’, don’t beat yourself up.
