These are the carb appliances that sit on my kitchen counter. That's two bread makers, a toaster and a rice cooker. I still use them to provide food for my family, but I'm trying hard to limit my carbohydrate intake.
Yesterday I didn't try hard enough. I bought treats for the student council my oldest daughter is on. I ended up eating the treats too (oatmeal cream pies and tootsie rolls -- in quantity). Sigh.
I'm not going to give up. I read/wrote too many quotes yesterday that said that despite my lapse, I only fail if I quit trying.
I learned that handling too many food temptations at once weakens my resolve. Next time I can plan ahead better and assign another mom to bring the treats. And if I do buy/make treats, I need to get one of my kids to hide them somewhere until the other family members come home. Yeah. That's what I'm going to do.

It's okay. Every day I wake up with the resolve to control my treat intake better. Some days are better than others. But I agree with out of sight out of mind philosophy. But mine has to be out of the house. If I know it's in the house, I'll sniff it out in a moment of weakness! Don't give up. ;)
Don't worry about it! It's what you do on a regular basis that counts, not a slip every now and then.
Think of your body as a temple; everything you eat or drink should nourish you-- junk just isn't good enough. Change your thinking and realize that a real "treat" is actually a healthy treat.
Thanks so much for your positive encouragement. I really need it! I'm hanging in there. :)
