Surviving Easter Weekend

Well, I am doing my best to survive Easter weekend.  It's proven difficult so far with all of the Easter chocolates/candy, pie, etc around.  However, I've done pretty good so far.  I decided I want to enjoy some part of the big feast so my husband and I found some no sugar added apple pie at Sobeys.  I had a slice and I really hope it doesn't effect my weight loss too much.  I just needed to have a little bit of enjoyment.  I'm working hard to not use food as my means of enjoyment but it's quite hard when everyone around are eating all of my favourite holiday foods!

My husband is making a turkey tomorrow with stuffing but all I am going to have is the white turkey breast meat and mashed cauliflower (in lieu of mashed potatoes).  I also have my 1 cup of no sugar jello as my dessert for tomorrow.  I only had 1 small slice of my no sugar added apple pie tonight so my husband will be polishing the rest of that off for me!

I have to say I've come a long way. Before, if pie or anything really yummy was in the house, I would have to eat it, and all of it.  Now, I can control myself better and if I decide to eat something I shouldn't eat, I have 1 small slice or serving or I don't have any at all.  My husband ate pringles in front of me lastnight and I didn't even crave them or want to have any of them!  Before, I had to have some. 

I still have a lot of work to do on my willpower and telling myself no to anything that is not good for me.  I want to be able to "eat to live, not live to eat" by the time I'm done this diet. 

Wish me luck on Monday's weigh-in! I hope the NSA pie didn't screw me up too much!

Happy Easter!
