Cheetos Shame

This is what I ate for lunch last Sunday.  I'm so ashamed and have to explain to try to make myself feel better.  I had a bigger than usual breakfast and then I met up with my friend Camron to go look at some art exhibits.  I was getting hungry but decided I'd wait.  Well then I went to Bobby's after the exhibits instead of going home and by that point it was late in the afternoon and closer to dinner time.  The Cheetos Puffs were the first thing I saw and I was starving so I ate them.  By the way, Cheetos Puffs are larger and denser these days.  I miss how they used to be.  Anyway, I shouldn't have waited so long to eat and I should have made a better choice.

Sausage vs. Turkey

Okay, I thought to be fair, this picture belonged up on the Food Regrets blog.  What's a girl to do at Wurstfest aka A Ten Day Salute to Sausage with a handful of Weight Watchers points left?  Hmm, fried pretty much anything, sausage, sausage, sausage, beer, or a turkey leg?  Yep, I chose the turkey leg and ate about a quarter or less of it.  Yes, I did have a few bites of rice pudding, funnel cake, one bite of strudel, and a sausage cheese ball, but I didn't buy any of those, just sampled from other people so that hardly counts!

Vacation and Holiday Food Regrets: Do they count?

I'm back!  I haven't posted on Food Regrets in a few weeks.  Bad for the sake of the blog but good for me!  Despite not having any specific food regrets to post I still wanted to give a general update.  Now I haven't been perfect by any means but I've noticed that I don't over do it as much now that I'm holding myself even more accountable. 

Over the past few weeks I've struggled in the evenings so there has been the unnecessary bowl of cereal, extra mini ice cream sandwich and so forth, but nothing extreme.  (Notice I said "mini" ice cream sandwich.  Yes, they make ice cream sandwiches in smaller sizes so if you need a dessert fix you don't have to feel so guilty.  Eating more than one defeats the purpose though.)  Weekends are the biggest challenge.  I do pretty well during the work week sticking to my points or going over a little, but the weekend is when I am more likely to go out to eat or have more of a who cares, just enjoy it attitude when it comes to food.  I think weekends are my biggest hurdle to losing the last five pounds.  Grrr, those last five pounds!

I went on vacation to an all-inclusive resort a few weeks ago.  I thought for sure there would be food regrets there but believe it or not I didn't have any except when I had two links of sausage rather than one for breakfast.  Okay, okay, it also helped that I didn't really like any of the food there and I'm not a big drinker.  Also, I did more walking than usual so I felt good.  I returned to work from vacation just in time for our Halloween party.  Now this is when I let go, said screw it, I ate fine over vacation, it's a holiday so I will eat that dip if I want to.  With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up this leads me to ask, do holiday and vacation food regrets count?
