Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.
I had a blowout day yesterday. Started off good with a roast beef (very lean and nice and rare) and veggie (red, yellow and green bell peppers, mushrooms and baby spinach) sandwich on a 100-calorie whole grain sandwich slim. Healthy, filling, I was happy. Until I got AND CAVED INTO a craving for a hot fudge sundae. So I left work and ran up the road to McDonald's to get one. 300 useless calories full of fat and sugar.
Then my boss comes in the door carrying the usual office snacks he buys. I don't snack much, but he always keeps snack mixes and pretzels around. Those I usually pass up. But he was also carrying a bag of my favorite crisps. I caved yet again. So after I'd eaten a hot fudge sundae and crisps, I slipped into the old familiar "all or nothing" mindset and ate pretty much what I wanted the rest of the day because I felt I had already blown it.
Why do we do that? Instead of saying "Okay, I've already screwed up for the day, may as well go for broke", I
should be saying "Wow, too many calories already, I need to back off the rest of the day so I don't go overboard."
But noooooooooooooo... it's like this instead:
my whole day is already shot, so why not eat the refrigerator?
