A moment on the lips....

Forever on the hips!
Today my teacher brought baklava to class. Without thinking about it, I popped a piece in my mouth. What?!? There went my no white flour goal for the day AND my dessert. Luckily I haven't had my treat day yet - so I'm not losing points in two categories. But Dang!
This situation makes me realize how often I simply pop things into my mouth without thinking. My whole life is filled with incidental munching. No wonder I have always struggled with my weight.
No more incidental munching - I want to be a purposeful eater. I want to enjoy my food and my life.
So sorry everyone for the points lost - but I am going to work extra hard to make up for it. Let's go Blue Team!

  1. Good job for recognizing it. I've struggled in this area in the past, too. To be honest, the no distraction challenge was always my most difficult challenges. It's a nasty habit that requires a lot of awareness to overcome (I'm not completely there yet, but have improved dramatically). You are a brave soul to take it on at this time of year and I commend you and your efforts. Don't dwell on the mistake too much and keep moving forward and you will see improvement!
