So I had a good weight lose last week, and this week I have actually gone quite over the deep end. I have many many foods that I love, ice cream, cookies, cake, candy, donuts...I am sure you get the idea, but the one food that I really love and I make it a treat every time I go the movies is popcorn. I love popcorn. Plain popcorn, butter popcorn, caramel popcorn, cheese popcorn, if it is popcorn then I probably love it.
When I was on my first diet back in 1980 or around there I lost a lot of weight (remember the last goal was where I started on that diet) but the food that I had on that diet (nutrisystem) was this freeze dried stuff, and after a couple of months you aren't really sure that you could gag down one more of those meals. So at the time I just stopped eating. Probably got horribly malnourished and is the ultimate cause for this last weight gain, but that is all besides the point. The point being is that the only food I ate for like two months was popcorn. I would go to the grocery store and at that time they had these large plastic bags full of popcorn and I would buy one and proceed to eat it for the rest of the day. Eventually they stopped selling them so I stopped eating popcorn (really microwave popcorn just doesn't cut it for me.)
So as a treat TH bought popcorn from the popcorn factory. Oh me Oh my. I have been in heaven, but I haven't been - hmm I am not sure the word I am looking for - but I have not controlled my intake of this wonderful delicious food. So when I got on the scale today, lets just say I have gone backwards. Not just a little, but a lot. So what have I learned? Leave the popcorn to the theaters.
No popcorn in the house.
Lets see - no ice cream, no cookies, no candy, no cake, no donuts and now no popcorn. Whats next? Oh yea no food.

ACK!
ReplyDeleteFortunately, TSH isn't a great fan of popcorn, so living without popcorn isn't a big strain. TSH also is OK with microwave popcorn.
ReplyDeleteWe BOTH worked all day on Christmas/etc & there's still much to do - TSH did a dump run Sunday & has a carload of clothes for the Goodwill - we couldn't find an open center.
So what did I do, Order popcorn from the popcorn factory for T&T for Xmas. My timing is lousy!!
