Chocolate Trouble

It seems I’ve gotten myself into a little bit of chocolate trouble. Or a lot, perhaps, depending on your viewpoint. I was choosing healthy food to eat, I was logging my daily intake of food at Sparkpeople.com and I was doing well. Then I went to Nashville for a conference with a friend and we indulged ourselves. It was quite fun, actually. We had a blast!

Ever since then, though, I’ve been having trouble getting back on track, getting my head ‘back in the game’, if you will. I want Peanut M&M’s every day. And I have been obliging myself. It’s ridiculous. I don’t think there are any shapely secrets hidden in that bag of M&M’s. Well, that is, unless – you want to count the shape ’round’. And I’m really rather tired of that shape.

But you know – actually, I was eating M&M’s prior to going to Nashville. I was just being a lot smarter about it. I was only buying the regular size bag – not the extra large or super size or whatever it’s called. And I was dividing it up into two snacks – and that was totally fitting in my calorie count for the day. Now, though, I’m buying the large and I am absolutely having trouble not eating the whole bag at once. And the large bag has a LOT more calories in it!! It hardly counts for a ’snack’ when it is taking up a whole meal’s worth of points!! Or calories, as it were.

I’m getting really sick of being such an M&M drunk’! I so hope I’m ready to give it up soon. I tell you what, blog readers, I’m going to promise to you, right now, that tomorrow – I will go log my food at Sparkpeople. No matter what I eat – I’ll take responsibility for it in black and white on my Sparkpeople profile.

And now I’m going to take my full tummy (full on dinner, but, it was too high in calories, too) and go to bed. Goodnight – thanks for reading my whining!
