This is what my evening consisted of. That, and doing my first podcast with Jonny Hartwell from 100.7. I swear I'm going to be famous one day. (cough cough)
So, yah, I succombed to one of those awful Macy's thumbprints (ie: fist-prints) and it was very tasty, but I'm sure was a million calories. I hope my limited food the rest of the day and 25 minutes on the elliptical helped nullify its effects. It didn't feel as good as I had hoped. Meaning, it didn't change the rough range of emotions I've been feeling this week. I think sometimes I have to test that. I guess inside the craving for sugar, I really truly believe it will relieve some of that tension - and it does for like 5 minutes, but then it doesn't. Now, the gym, that shit relieves me. It really does. There's something in it about taking care of myself, obviously you have the whole physical rush and just working out some of that tension by moving the body so that's real relief.

Hi Kelley - I think that eating cookies is an inevitable part of any weight loss program, and I hope you're not down on yourself for doing it. I've noticed that eating things mindfully really changes our experience of them, and it might be worthwhile to experiment with "mindful cookie eating" if you are not doing so already. You might find that you are satisfied with a bite or two, and can leave it at that. Or you might find (like I did with Oreos) that when you really pay attention to the experience, it's not what you thought it was. I used to be a large-scale consumer of Oreos, but once I ate one mindfully, I discovered that I didn't really like them, and I haven't eaten one in years. On my blog, http://livemindfully.blogspot.com, there is a link to an mp3 that guides a mindful eating experience that might be helpful. The narrator suggests not eating chocolate, but actually, once we get the hang of eating mindfully, even chocolate is fair game.
Healthy wishes, Roger
