My weakness is Pumpkin Pie, Costco Pumpkin pie to be exact! I have been doing very well controling my eatting and trying to walk and workout at least 5 times a week. Although this has been a really bad week, I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost any either. The other day I took my mom to Costco to get items for Thanksgiving dinner and there it was "Pumpkin Pie". I justified buying a pie by convincing myself that I could eat one slice and stay within my calories by trimming calories from other areas. I sat and ate my one piece of pie and I must say I really enjoyed that slice like never before. Yesterday, I decided I could have another slice and justified it the same way. After eatting my lovely slice of Pumpkin pie, I started thinking about how I am my own sabator. I set myself up to fall off my diet. What is even worse is the weather is terrible so I couldn't even walk off the extra calories. I weighed myself and have managed to not gain any weight but am holding steady. I realized that I am too weak to control myself so I threw the rest of the pie away and promised myself I wouldn't tempt myself anymore. I will have a piece of pie on Thanksgiving, but that is it! Today I get back on track and will get my 20k steps in and drink my water. I have to keep reminding myself this isn't a punishment, it is a change for the better. Heres hoping the pie doesn't come back to bite me in my final weigh in.

Me and ice cream... I totally get you. Stay strong and way to go on knowing that your setting yourself up... and that you have a plan now. =}
Sounds like me with Lowe's Foods salted caramel pecan pie cookies. I bought them yesterday thinking **I'll just eat one...** and ate 2 1/2 and threw the rest away. You got this!
