I didn't eat breakfast this morning (problem #1). I usually eat breakfast with curbs the possible temptations of making bad snack choices. This morning, one of the coaches was sweet enough to bring doughnuts for the faculty/staff. Well yeah, no breakfast = one hungry fat woman. Everyone partook of the doughnuts, I passed when offered one (score one for me). But as the doughnuts sat there (just a FEW uneaten), I kept thinking about them. Sweet, doughy, pillows of heaven-in-your-mouth badness. "Must resist," is all I could TRY to tell myself. By the end of CPR training, I couldn't resist it anymore. I snatched two--yes, two-- doughnuts one weird looking one that I was sure had some type of glaze + chocolate cookie crumbs on top which was a cake doughnut and a traditional glazed yeast doughnut. Let me mention, it's not like these doughnuts were Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Doughnuts... I'll just say I really paid for giving into my temptations. The doughnuts tasted (and after-tasted) of old frying oil (yuck, change your oil please!). The punishment is not only on my hips now; the punishment is the heartburn that was persistent throughout the day.
If this didn't teach me that temptations will not always satisfy that craving. I think it's time to get back on the Wii Active (It has been collecting dust for the last couple weeks) and get this fat a-jiggling and the calories a burnin'.
By the way, just a random non-fat/weight loss conclusion: The word cool beans should be banned. There I said it. Whew, I feel better now. :D
That's what's so funny about watching Biggest Loser temptations. When they haven't had sweets and such for weeks, then decide to indulge in a temptation, they usually don't enjoy it. Of course, for them, the temptation is part of the game play -- consuming the most calories gets you some advantage, or you are looking for a certain thing that's hiding under a pastry...guess as many times as you want, but if you touch it, you have to eat it. They have a few and feel awful, so that should really show us how our bodies really don't want it, right? Right?
ReplyDeleteI think I hear crickets. Okay, maybe our bodies WANT the sugar, but not always in the quantities we consume?
