I have totally no willpower

[Govtgirl]

So this morning, my brain is going "you can lose 5 pounds in the next 2 weeks before you have to give this presentation, just cut out carbs, no wine, no snacking, no chocolate, you can do it!!!"

At 5pm, my brain is going "what's the point of depriving yourself for some arbitrary goal, you work out more than anybody you know, nobody will notice 5 pounds one way or the other, besides, your husband wants to take you out to dinner, you only live once!"

Guess which brain won??

That doesn't sound like a lack of willpower to me--it sounds like sanity. Good decision, my friend. I hope dinner with your hubby was spectacular!!!

Well, at 38 weeks pregnant, feeling and looking like a whale, I totally have no will power either and what's worse, I don't even care. What's an extra 5 lbs at this point?

Anyway--I'm sure you look great, so I hope you enjoyed your dinner

You better tell us the 5 p.m. brain won! I know it would have won for me.

Me too. I'm tired of watching every single crumb I put into my mouth. I decided it's time to lighten up a little (pun intended!) & even if I can't be happy w/an extra 5-10 lbs, I can live w/it if it means I can enjoy food a little, dammit!

Isn't it funny how at first we have this positive will power and we really think we won't cave, and then, a craving kicks in and a hundred excuses come fluding in to drown what little will power we have. My personal favorite is - just because it's so obsurd:

I can have a bag of candy, I'll just take that one flight of stairs back to the office and it should all even out.

I also can also convince myself that anything in liquid form doesn't count. Juice, pop, ice cream, wine. Goes in as liquid, comes out as liquid. Body does nothing with it.
