Let me preface this by saying that until now, I've tried to keep temptations out of my house. I haven't made cookies. I haven't made cake... simply because I knew I wasn't at a point where I could resist or just have a little bit here and there. I used to wake up from a sleep and eat something, usually something sweet. It's not good to consume 500 of your daily calories BEFORE your even awake. I was also a pretty decent binger.
Last night, my wonderful husband made brownies. The good kind. The soft, triple chocolate kind that are 180 calories each (and you can't eat only one). Ok. Fine. No big deal Cindy. You can handle this! You are stronger than the brownies!
Unless you're half asleep!...
That's right. Last night we worked out around midnight. I had a protein shake, took a shower, had some oatmeal. I went to bed around 3:30-4am. I woke up at 7:30 am... got up to get a drink of water... and there they were. Staring at me on the stove. The brownies. I swear, when you're not fully awake, they smell more heavenly. However, before my brain could process what I was about to do, I ate. 3 of them. Do I remember what they tasted like? Of course not. Do I fully remember eating them? Not really. Ugh.
Apparently I'm not ready to have temptations in my house. I gave half to my sister and my husband is taking the rest with him on his road trip to our home town (I'm staying home). I will stick with the Skinny Cows and 100 calorie pudding cups.

Sigh...sounds like my husband. When he has a sweet tooth he makes TWO pans of brownies. My way to combat them is to cut a piece up into 10 little pieces and eat one every two minutes. So when I finally finish, I no longer want another one. It is not foolproof but it works....75% of the time - hee hee!
ReplyDeleteHe's trying to lose weight too, but he can resist. He's ok having one here and there... but I'll completely binge on them. He doesn't have the history of major dysfunction with food like I do though. He was a super skinny kid. Giving some away helped. He's taking the rest away today. I put them in the cupboard so I didn't have to see them. lol
ReplyDeleteToo bad! Those little heavenly devils are out of my house!
ReplyDeleteYuuuuuum brownies!!! The best (for me personally) are gooey brownies with mint frosting. Yumm!!
