Self control and the lack thereof.

My happy weight is 5 lbs lighter than I am right now. My pants fit better and I just feel better about myself.

Lying in bed a couple nights ago, I told the hubs “I’d do just about anything to drop these 5 lbs”. Then immediately started laughing.

Because, obviously, I’m not willing to do anything at all.

See all this?

I’ve eaten all of it this morning.

Hi, my name is Molly and I have no self control.

I eat tons of fruit and veggies, we rarely eat red meat or pork and I only buy whole grain breads, but I’m a snacking machine. I always have to have something salty with sweet, so my little piece of chocolate always comes with a side of potato chips.

And don’t even get me started on the holiday goodies. If it says “Limited Edition” its coming home with me. (See the fudge covered Ritz? Amazeballs.)

I am getting used to the fact that I would much rather eat than be comfortable in my pants. At least through the holidays. Then I may throw some exercise in with the snacks…or not.

    I am the exact same way! Put anything munchable in front of me, and I will eat my way through half the box before I even notice it's there.

    And I don't really intend to stop. =)

    I call it lack of discipline. Same problem here. 🙂 It also leaks into other parts of my life like still being in my pajamas (at 10:15), thinking I may not get anything productive done today because it's cold out and I don't feel like leaving, and gorging myself on sweet treats while the boys nap. 😉 Enjoy! Ha.

    Thats exactly what I want to lose also, the last 5 lbs of baby weight…uhm he's 3, don't think I can still count it baby weight..With that- I'm off to eat my lunch consisting of brie, crackers, pasta, and a Large pepsi.

    Honey, I bought two boxes of those Christmas tree cakes home and ate. every. single. one. And I wondered why I had gained 4 lbs… Seriously. I can't keep sweets, because I will eat them all.

    Oh how I WISH I only had 5 pounds left to lose! I got more like 25!! But I'm in the same boat motivation-wise. Christmas time is sure hard to stick to it!

    You make me ill. I wish I only had 5lbs to lose and still eat junk! You are beautiful- eat sugar if you want 🙂
    My holiday fave- mint truffle Hershey's!
