Food Frenzy Lunch

So it's lunch time and I'm alone in the house and I enter the kitchen not really knowing what I want to eat.  I think about how if it were a work day I'd already have the lunch packed and my packed lunch would be my only option.  But here I am with a fridge and pantry full of options and some not so good for me.  So what do I do?  I don't make a good choice.  I end up going all food frenzy. Snack this, taste that . . . and before I know I've made the decision to not track my WW points because I've screwed lunch up.  Why do I do this????????? I tell my self that it's one food frenzy and tomorrow is another day to stay completely on track.  But I still feel horrible about it.

Breakfast:
Multi-Grain Cheerios
1/2 banana

Lunch:  Is this a crazy "lunch" or what, this is what I mean by unstructured!  Just searching around the kitchen for something. . . and it's not like I don't have more healthier choices to choose from.  There could be more to this list, but in a food frenzy I forget all that may grab for to eat.

Isn't Death a Good Enough Incentive?

I began watching old episodes of "Ruby" on Netflix.  For those of you who don't her, she has (or had) a show on Style Network about being morbidly obese and trying to lose 100s of pound.  She was basically told by her family doctor that she will die young if she does not lose weight.  She is a lovely, vibrant, beautiful woman that exudes southern sweetness.  The type of person that would make you feel good about yourself when you're around her, but she has an eating problem.  On the episode I watched today she made a comment . . . "Why isn't death a good enough incentive for me to lose weight and want to change my habits."  In other words, isn't the possibility of death enough for her to loose all her cravings, hating to exercise, hating to deny herself certain foods.

While I haven't been given the notification that if I don't lose weight I'll die, I have been told I can get off my blood pressure medication and I can avoid early heart disease.  I can live life and not be so tired all the time.  I'll have more energy to enjoy activities I like to do with my family.  My moods will be happier because I will feel better not only physically, but mentally.   I guess in the long run those do pertain to life or death, but why aren't those positives a good enough incentive to make my losing weight easy and a no brainer?  Why?

Staring down Swiss Rolls

So here I sit literally staring at a package of Swiss Rolls.  It's been a long stressful day . . . everyone is in bed early except me and the dog and I'm contemplating eating a Swiss Roll because I want to.  Because it will make me feel better and it will taste soooooo good.  But instead I log onto WW and find out if I eat 2 Swiss Rolls the points value is 7!  I have 11 points lefts today so I would be within my points, but then I ask myself do I go ahead and eat them because I still have points left or am I really hungry and do I really want them or need them?  The Swiss Roll package went back in the box!  I overcame the desire based on my realization that eating them is not going to perform any miracle for me or fulfill me in any way.  I made a good choice tonight.
