Damn This Blog (Keeping Me Honest)

My 3 year old asked me today for chips and salsa, so I asked my husband to pick some up on his way home from work. He asked me if it's legal since I've blogged about my dependency on tortilla chips.

I hate when he calls me out. And worse yet, I hate when he's right.

But he IS right! There's a reason I don't keep my beloved tortilla chips in the house. It's the same reason a recovering alcoholic wouldn't keep a bottle of vodka around. I don't need to have that kind of temptation staring me in the face.

The nice thing about the WW program is that I am allowed to eat things like chips. If I ate the whole bag, I would have to adjust the rest of my food this week or run 18 or so miles, and that would be insane. (Although, I do plan on running 8 miles tomorrow...) So, I'll have to portion out ONE serving tonight when we have our dinner (Tacos.. Again with the Mexican food.. Stop judging). Or I could have no shell, eat just the meat, load up on lettuce, tomato, salsa, and my 2 points of reduced fat Mexican cheese and have two servings of chips.

The point of this post is to PLAN ahead and know how to tackle your temptations. I talked about this yesterday with the Girl Scout cookies - know your weaknesses, figure out how to live with them. Don't deprive yourself, it will make you insane. If you can find healthy alternatives (that aren't kale chips!) even better. But I'm letting you all know that tonight, I'm facing a challenge and by putting it out there for you all to see, I'm going to stick to my plan.

I hope. :)
