No more snowballs!

I know that is an odd picture since it is summer and all but I realized something yesterday about myself and I am sure most of you have been through this as well. I work in an office that has a potluck every month. Every month someone is smart and brings healthy options like a salad, some grilled chicken, fruit, veggies that kind of thing.  (usually everything else is like a contest to see who can bring the most fattening, tempting and unhealthy things...which I contribute too as I always bring a dessert since I like to bake LOL) Every month I tell myself before the meeting that I will only eat the healthy things. I generally like to save my indulging for when I am with my husband since he doesn't ever eat healthy. But EVERY MONTH I say oh well just one piece of fried goodness or one dish of ice cream and ugh...before I know it that one little indulgence has snowballed into two plates of all bad stuff and I didn't even eat one healthy thing!
That is how it works with me. I can't just stop with 1 m&m that whole bag is going to be gone before I even have to time to think about it. So now that I am aware and conscious of this fact I get to do something about it. I know that I feel better when I eat better. I know that it is just my mean, fat alter-ego 'Gloria' talking when I want to snowball into wayyyyy too many calories. So now I get to sharpen my skills of saying NO! Not even just one.

Because we all know it is never just one.
