I’m not the kind of person who has much willpower.
Or, mostly, any willpower. I cave incredibly easily in the face of temptation. It’s not one of my better traits.
So, while I stated that I was ready to be eating lighter meals in my previous post, it seems I’m not ready to give up the junk just yet. Purely because it’s there.
Plus it seems so ungrateful to waste it! Some of the tasty treats still lingering around were part of our annual goody bag from my Mother in Law, and you can’t throw away gifts now can you?
Therefore the best course of actions seems to be to dispose of them in other ways. Remove temptation. Eat them. Well, if it’s good enough for Oscar Wilde…
Which is why I ate most of a toblerone on Monday night. A large one. And why I ate a whole bag of Wispa bites last night (not all in one go, if that makes things any better?)
It’s also how I discovered that Original flavour Pringles smothered in Whole Earth crunchy peanut butter is delish.
Somebody stop me!
On the plus side it’s mostly all gone now. Phew!
Unless I start on the husband’s Ferrero Rocher…
Is anyone else struggling to shake off the holiday gluttony?
Thanks, as always, for reading! x
Yes, it’s very rude not to eat gifts that were given! 😜 I figure December/January is a silly time to be eating better; February is where it’s at! X
I agree, except we’re about to book a mini break in the sun for my Mom’s birthday in mid March, and at this rate I’ll have no clothes that fit 😀
Plenty of time 😁 or an excuse to shop for new clothes!
Haha, as I am reading this, I am eating a half pound reeses cup!! I honestly have no willpower!
Now I need to try that Pringles peanut butter combo 😉 Sounds quite interesting!
Oh I *love* Reeces cups! I only became aware of them a couple of years back, and it was literally a “where have you been all my life” moment!
Keep repeating: I am a kind person. I will not hurt a gift-giver’s feelings by throwing out their lovely gifts. After all we are all encouraged to not be selfish but to be considerate of others, aren’t we? There! Does that help to dispose of the guilt feelings? Hope so,
Well I’ve been eating my way through so now I just feel guilty about the calories!
(not that guilty, obviously!)
