I Totally Blew It
If you have ever been on a diet you have probably had a cheat day here and there. Some people would argue that a cheat day is OK. I think it's how much you "cheat" that really matters. Yesterday I cheated WAY too much but, it wasn't entirely my fault. I started out on track with my delicious egg whites but, then I ate a BUCKET of popcorn at the movies, fruit snacks followed by chocolate candy. When I got home my neighbor had brought me delicious butterscotch cookies so I ate half a dozen of those. Ugh! To ensure this doesn't happen again I have complied a list that will help me stay on track.
