"A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand."
The first thing that came to my mind this morning upon waking up was chocolate chip cookies. I know I had to cut back on sweets as I've been eating too much lately (again). Normally, I hide the weighing scale as it depresses me but I've read somewhere that one must keep track of how they weigh if on a diet. So now, the scale is right in front of my mirror, taunting me every time I look at my reflection. Instead of deflating my self-esteem though, after a few weeks, I became immune. I still weigh myself occasionally and instead of losing the pounds, they just...stay there. Neither going up nor going down. Not sure if it is a good thing. I feel great though you can't make me run a 10km marathon. Healthy enough to walk the whole day at a normal pace and not feel faint (with occasional ice cream breaks in between).
After having a healthy breakfast of cereal (whole grain, no sugar), Mr E and I headed down to the grocery store to purchase some ingredients for our lunch. And I picked up some chocolate chips. And some vanilla essence. I almost won but sometimes it's better to give in to your temptations (haha!).
