Paula's Wish Journal.......

[lulu201]

Uh, nooo, Paula, a cookie and a jelly donut are not components for a healthy dinner, but hey, I've been there, too, and sometimes it's just what you WANT!

Hang in there and just try for a healthier day today!

Erin

P.S. Have a nice, cool, refreshing glass of water this afternoon, OK?

Well - I took a good stroll around the mall today - more for my mental health than physical - good nontheless. And resisted the urge to get something at DD on the way home fromt he mall.

Ok - fessing up to the bad part.......Candy bar coupon sale" at JC Penney - ate that (got 30% off coupon inside though) - then...went to godiva - bought small box of halloween candy to mail to DD - bought 1 - just 1 maple walnut truffle for me.....very decadent.

Bad part is that's all I've eaten today.......

Having a large glass if ice water right now - stomach growling - help...........

Hi Paula,

I am gonna have to stake out your house and take all that junk food away! hehe Good job on no afternoon coffee and your portion control, especially in Godiva!!! Mmm dynamites!! Haven't had those in at least 10 years, what a sense memory, so yummy. hehe

Hope you are having a great day!
Mike

So, how's today going for you, Paula? I hope you're treating yourself well by eating lots of HEALTHY things. How 'bout a piece of fruit this afternoon? I'll have decaf tea if you'll have an apple or banana. . .

Hi Erin....

I had a banana today (big for me - I hate fruit) and afternoon cup of herbal tea.....trying to fight off the 9pm munchies now.

Just checking in to see how you are doing. Keep up the work - I know it's hard but will be so worth it in the end. Hang in there...

Keep on
Chris

Hey Paula!

I hope all is well! Thanks for visiting my journal!

Have a great night!
Mike

 

[lulu201]

Good morning, Paula! So, are you going to have another banana today? Sounds like you're making fruit a regular part of your life, you wild thing!

Hmmm, 9 p.m. munchies. . .are you watching TV when you get them? Getting ready for bed? What? Maybe you could try a hobby--like crocheting or needlework--to keep your mind and hands entertained? Just a thought, Paula. . .

Have a good one--
Erin

Hi Chris - thanks for posting!!
Hi Mike - Happy Thursday!!
Hi Erin - no banana yet today but I did have a bowl of rice krispies with fresh rasberries - still had a few left on the vines - picked them last night - quite yummy.

As far as the 9pm munchies - I am working - sitting at my desk......so technically my hands are occupied typing - ......
Last night - at 9pm....munchie time......took 1 teaspoon full of ice cream and ate it - I was happy - and proud of myself too!! Small steps!!

 

[Cruise04]

That is a good step Paula - 1 spoonful is better than one bowl full (or more)!!!! Good job!

Keep on
Chris

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

2pm.....hungry.......I know there is a Hershey bar in the fridge......been tehre since Sunday - I''m not giving in - had glass of orange juice - 1/2 pb sandich and banana.

Trying really hard to make good choices.....

 

[Cruise04]

You are doing good combating that bar that's been in there a few days - leave it there!!!!!

Keep up the good work.
Keep on
Chris

 

[lulu201]

Just curious, Paula--why do you have the Hershey bar in the fridge? Is it there to test your willpower? As a special "reward" for not eating other junk??
To curb a chocolate craving? I need to know why it's even there! Either eat it and celebrate it's deliciousness or throw it out and be rid of the torture!

You didn't ask for it, but I've been know to give my opinions free of charge.

Hang in there, Paula. You're making some GREAT choices. You're succeeding at this! I can't believe you had that teeny tiny bit of ice cream and then ended it--I couldn't have done that in a million years. I'm too much all or nothing. I guess that's why I see a candy bar in the fridge as almost unbearable!

Enjoy your Friday!
Erin

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

Erin - hahahahha - your question really made me laugh - actually my husband bought it last weekend - boy scouts were selling them - I am shocked by my willpower too - maybe I am trying to prove something to myself....

Anyway - no sweets at all this week - may treat myself tomorrow or Sunday.

Hope you are having a good day.

 

[lulu201]

Good morning, Paula. Thanks for filling me in on the candy bar. . .I can relax now.

Go, Paula! You've done a great job this week. Let me know what you do as a treat. . .my sweet tooth can live vicariously through yours.

Erin

Well - last night DH went into the fridge and said "I don't know how come this has been here all week and not opened - I'm eating it" - aka the Hershey - he gave me 1/2 - less guilt.

Hey, Paula. How's it going today? WAY TO GO ON THE YOGURT SNACK! Honey, you have come a long way in a very short time. Are you sure this is the same "junk food" Paula that started this journal?

Keep it up, Paula, and you'll see the results!
