I try to plan … really, I do. Yogurt plus fruit for breakfast = 200 calories. Mid-morning … a couple of cups of coffee with creamer = 100. Lean Cuisine for lunch = 300. Afternoon snack = fruit or a 100 calorie pack. That leaves 400 to 500 for supper and another 100 for an evening snack. That’s the plan.
Then life happens. This time of year, the break room is full of goodies … brownies … fudge … iced sugar cookies. The “have-one-and-then-stop” philosophy does not work for me. Once the taste is in my mouth, I think about it a lot ... too much.
I’ve tried avoiding the break room. On a busy day that works, providing I don’t get a coffee urge … and no one mentions it to me. If I’m out seeing clients all morning, the announcers may eat everything before I hit the office. They frequently start between 4 and 5 a.m. At 10 or 11 a.m., they get the mid-afternoon munchies.
I have very little resistance to temptation … particularly sweets. I do not have a good strategy for this, but next week it will be over.
