I’m not going to eat between meals (not even Oyster Crackers) and I’m not going to take seconds. Just today. And I’m going to try this for a year to see what happens.
I’ve learned that I’ll never be safe from temptation. I did very, very well yesterday up until about 10 p.m. when I started nibbling on Oyster Crackers while watching a show about Nannies. I can’t tell you how they (Oyster Crackers, not nannies) came to be on the table, but I can tell you they are a tempting treat. Keep them away from casual reach if you want to stay out of trouble!
It was a pathetic ending for a nearly perfect day. I successfully avoided the candy machine. First, I went for a walk and then I put my change in a co-workers office (it’s still there.) I might buy a piggy bank to keep in there for the purpose (hmm — I just thought of that, but it almost makes sense….)
Also, I heard some whispers (just below hearing level) from my ‘little voice.’ Maybe if I listen very closely I’ll hear it for sure today (Is this a meal? Have I eaten yet?).
Oyster Crackers are soooo delicious, and for some reason I get into a zombie state when I start eating them. Before I know it, half the box is gone. Yikes!
There’s that satisfying snap as I bit through the edge, it’s exactly the same snap as biting through an M&M. I’m going to have to do some more research on this, I think.
