Eating, Eating, Eating......and more eating.

Well....I know...I have been a lazy blogger. I was going to give an update of what I have been up to since....i know...APRIL. But....if you are on facebook, you have pictures and updates. In CDA it is now fall, turning into winter...it means a few things to me...the days get shorter. I get lazier. I do spend alot of time on the couch between the hours of 4 and bedtime. I am getting fatter. Its true! There once was a time when I could say that I was a standard 125 lbs. (reminder, I am 5 feet tall.) There was little I could do to gain or lose that weight. Lately the number has gone up a bit and the same thing applies, except for the fact that the number goes up VERY easily and does not go down as easily. My vice? Candy and mindless eating. I work out. I am active (between the hours of 7am and 4pm.) however, I am an eater...a BIG EATER. I eat way more than the average person. Its true. Some people conciously eat, I have to conciously NOT eat. If you are in my house, you will notice I dont have snacks. No chips, or crackers, rarely cereal. Why??? Because I will eat it. I have wonderful self control as long as the food is not around. I must surround myself with healthy food in order to NOT mindlessly snack on veggies rather than cookies and CRAP!

Until Sunday....That is the day my brother and law came home with.....CANDY....and gave me some. I have not had candy for some time, and there is a reason for that. I should have said no, but I thought, OK, no biggie. Then I bought candy on Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday, and Saturday....I am trying today for a day without candy. Maybe jumpstart myself again. So....wish me luck as I continue on my journey of not eating CRAP....any advice? please let me know, because I will really need it with the holidays coming up...HELP!!!!
