I did a Munnalita!!

As Jenn mentioned the weekend is where most of us come unstuck....

During the week I am usually pretty good, eat well, do at least 30mins of exercise (usually a bit more) but when I get to the weekend I just lose the plot!

Last weekend it was my dad's bday so we went to his house and had a lamb roast (better than the chinese we were going to have), ate a smaller portion than he dished up, was quite proud of myself as Lamb roast is one of my favs, but the problem was on the way there my brother decided to stop at Krispy Kreams!! arghhh... he is a junk food adict (he can eat and eat and eat and is still underweight!) We brought 26 doughnuts (mix of glazed and iced)!!! Before lunch he had already had 2! I shared half a doughnut with my dad and then had a glazed one that night, the next day I took 4 to work (3 for the guys and one for me) and somehow I had managed to fit the doughnuts into my days calories (with a bit of extra exercise) and still somehow managed to lose 600g.

But this weekend I headed to the local cheapo supermarket and whilst standing in line I saw my all time favorite choc bars Butterfingers and Baby Ruths!! I haven't had these in at least 18months (since I was on holiday in the States) so I got one for my brother, mum and myself (Had to stop myself from stocking up on them). I got home and ate my butterfinger all 270cals of it! then decided I couldn't wait until my brother came home to taste his Baby Ruth, so I ate my mums one!!

When Munnalita ate those 2 Mars Bars I was a bit shocked (mainly due to her justification- didn't seem like she had learn't anything) but then I went and did the same thing!!
After feeling a bit ill for a while (I think it was the guilt talking) I jumped on the exercise bike and worked so hard, skipped lunch and somehow worked off all those calories!

It's funny, I can easily go shopping at Coles/Safeway and not buy any chocolate, crisps etc, but seeing those chocolate bars just killed me! I definately wont be going back there to shop anymore!!

So anyway, after my chocolate binge I still managed to lose 900g, taking me to 72kg, but if I hadn't had them I may be in the 71 range now...oh well can't undo the past, just gotta keep moving forward....and stick to shopping lists!

Oh and I promise to never do a "Munnalita" again!!!!

Good on you for the loss, thats fantastic, you really did turn things around then!

Its amazing how our minds try and justify things when we are having those chocolate cravings!!

also good for you to admit where you went wrong and work at it, by aknowleging it and moving on your another step closer to being a reformed 'fat person' as the term was used tonight. Great to hear the loss!

have a great week this week!!
