Put Down the Cookie!

It is only Saturday evening and been a trying three days with food.

First, Bobby brought home pizza Thursday night.  I am proud to say, I didn't eat any.  I ate a lean Turkey burger, which was just as delicious.

Yesterday, I made ground turkey enchilada's which tasted wonderful, but half and half on the healthy scale due to the enchilada sauce.  I didn't read the label until afterward.  5 g of fat for a 1/4 c of sauce.  Get out of town!  Last night, I bit the bullet and ate half of a medium oreo cookie blizzard from DQ.  If it wouldn't have been slightly melted by the time Bobby got home with it, I probably would have eaten the whole thing. 

Today, I have done okay but could have done better.  I ate leftover enchilada's for a late lunch and ate a good size chocolate chip cookie from Costco.  Bobby bought the cookies today and they are so good and soft.  It is taking as much strength as I can muster not to eat 2 more.  I keep walking by the counter and they are calling me, "Rachel, just one more.  Just one more."  So, I went for a brief jog, and then walking with my friend.  Now it is time for black beans for dinner.

This battle with crappy food has to be won.  I think boredom is a big part of it.  Keep me busy and I'm good.  Tomorrow, I will paint the laundry room, which I have been talking about for months.  That should take the day and less time for snacking.

In the meantime, I am putting the cookies on top of the fridge, because you all know, I'm not tall enough to see them up there and I'd have to get a ladder to fetch them.
