beating the muffin

it is no secret that bread is one of my biggest weaknesses. i love sandwiches, toast, muffins, and i guess if you wanted to throw cake/cupcakes into the mix since they are kind of like bread right? at work the cafe has these very yummy chocolate chocolate chip muffins. they are bigger than the average muffin and oh so tasty. in doing a google search on them, i found out they are also at least 350+ calories, sometimes much more. obviously... NOT GOOD for plan. really any muffin, even the fruit ones, are not good because there is so much sugar in them. this chocolate muffin has become my weakness.

for the past month or so this muffin has been a part of my morning routine. while having my morning coffee and supplement (usually one of drink mixes in my coffee) i have had a muffin. seeing how i am trying to get back on track the muffins really need to go. however i seem to hear them calling me through the 3 floors between my office and the cafe. today i decided, instead of getting this really bad for you muffin i would go for the healthier option. the cafe also offers a weight watchers chocolate muffin. i am assuming it is lower in calorie and i will have to check that when i am done blogging. they are also much smaller than the other muffin. amazingly enough, this new muffin satisfied the craving for the other one and i didn't feel as guilty about eating it either. my goal is by the end of next week to not even need the muffin (wow it sounds like a drug huh?).

here is to hoping i can beat the muffin! :o)

Isn't that weird how that works? Sometimes you go with the cravings and all of a sudden you don't EVER want that particular food again because you are on to something else now!!! Isn't is also funny how we never crave celery sticks... or liver... or...

I am so proud of you and all that you have gone through to get here. You need to put before and now pictures on. Everytime I see you it is hard to picture you as "large" because you can't see it in looks and your spirit. I am a very proud papa. Love You!!!
