when we know better...

we do better? Maya Angelou says so. Well, as far as emotional eating, when I know better I may just continue to do bad, but experience more guilt in the process. I read in the book I'm reading about emotional eating that when you bite into something that doesn't taste as good as you expected, you are supposed to stop eating it! Case in point, I needed some crunchy chocolate, so I grabbed a bag of mini chocolate chip cookies left over from our stash of after game soccer treats. They tasted stale. They probably have always been crunchy and dry, but this time I noticed it especially. Did I stop? No way! I was going to get my sugar fix, baby. So, I didn't do better but maybe I will next time.

Friday's are always hard because we go out for pizza.

TODAY'S WW POINTS EXPENDITURE: 44.5 (for a goal of 26)
WEEKLY POINTS LEFT: .5 (still movie popcorn and Sunday to go)
ACTIVITY POINTS: 14 and not even close to being enough -- I've been lazy and low impact this week.

I do give myself points today for being a fun, patient and supportive mom -- my kids had a good day, I think. I know I did.
