Why Did I Tempt Myself

This was last week, to begin I am usually a bit more organized and 90% on top of my meal planning.  However when it is slow at work and I am stretching out my time I get a bit hyper. Not bad well, yes, if you complete task ahead of time and there is time left.

I had my breakfast, lunch and snack.  Breakfast consumed AM snack gone and I was hyper,  beyond and I decided to try just one or what should have been none.  I had one Reese’s miniature cup.  Yum so good but then I remembered I had put out more than one type not just the normal chocolate peanut butter cup, but there was dark chocolate and white chocolate.  Honestly the flavor is almost the same but me being bored tried another and another and yes you get the pic.  Before I knew it I had not one but eight wrappers on my desk.

I had allowed myself to be tempted by myself, no one else to blame, just me. Shamefully I wrapped the wrappers in paper towel, tossed it in the garbage, and did what I should have prior to overdosing on a chocolate peanut butter rush.  I swallowed WATER.  Yes water and lots of it.  Was I craving Reese’s, no I was hyper and bored.

I was unable to rewrite my sugar consumption however I became knowledgeable on craving and bored.  Usually my cravings are satisfied with a few bites, but my overindulgence when I am bored is limitless.  I MUST get better.  I was extremely happy when my next infusion patient came, work.

I know avoid the snacks, maybe but I order them for the patients I infuse and Reese’s is not the only chocolate or snack available. I purchase snacks according to the patients. The worse thing is to order a lot of healthy and good snacks you have to toss because no one, well maybe a few will eat.

I know my behavior when I am bored and should not allowed myself to be tempted. I am vowing to remind myself of this.  How about you? Really do you eat for nutrition or is your intake affected sometimes by LIFE? You are normal just evaluate and place a system to avoid the extreme intake.

To a GREAT NUTRITIONAL WEEK
