Future Milfs Update

I haven't weighed myself.  I have had a particularly self destructive week in terms of food.  Today I'm back on track.  It hasn't helped that the Weight Watchers website is not letting me use the Point Tracker without messing up, but I will not give up.  I wish I didn't love food, but I do.

If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got.  I don't know who said that (I'm sure a quick Google search would help me, but I'm too lazy).

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.  I said this to myself as I threw away the Nigella espresso cupcakes and rum frosting this morning.  I have to think about how good it felt to step on the scale every week and have lost two pounds.  I want that feeling again. 

I need to save my need to be creative for once in a while (baking wise).  I can't create cakes, muffins and biscuits every day and expect to lose weight.  The kids eat some of it, but I end up eating the rest.  There's a sample slice of banana bread here and a couple of scones there, and a slice of cake just to test it and then I end up screaming at myself on weigh-in day.

So, back to the grind.  Again.  No matter how many times it takes.  My Mum says I can do anything I put my mind to.  I'm not sure I believe her, but I'm going to try.

Expect a weigh-in report next friday.

2 - Oooh, I have exactly the same problem! I've only recently started baking and I just love my new art/craft. Today I made my first-ever chocolate brownies (from the new Jamie Oliver cookbook) and they were stunning. I love the creativity of baking something lovely.

But. But. But. It has to stop, because, as you say, I end up eating more than everyone else. I think it's time for a baking halt chez me and I then I won't be too scared to step on the scales.

Consider me with you. (Comment this)

4 - i need to get back into this mindset myself. we ate out last night. french fries and chocolate lava cake. delish, but worth it?

i like to cook too, and i have found that when i'm trying to control my intake, i cook more--the trick is to divert that creative energy to cooking satisfying and tasty food that is not going to sabotage you. i actually really like the WW cookbooks--there are some great things in there.

i'm with you, lady! (Comment this)

5 - God, I can relate. But yeah...nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I wish I would have read this before I ate breakfast.

PS. I'm listening to Regina Spektor right this second. We are so sharing one mind. (Comment this)

9 - I've been more careful with what I'm eating for over a year now, and I have to admit, what I miss most is the fact that I really can't bake very much anymore. My OH doesn't eat *any* sweets, and I don't have kids yet, so when I do bake, I end up giving a lot away to friends/family/neighbors. Best of luck! (Comment this)

11 - Good self talk! I tell myself, "Yes, you can have that cookie if you want. You can have 10 if you really need them. But they will be there for you after you have gotten this food thing under control too. Can you wait for now?" Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! (Comment this)
