Having a bit of a tough time with food during holiday

So my parents come into town on Wednesday, and it’s like my impulse control went out the window. Okay so I have some, but it has not been good. I’m almost afraid to get on the scale, which I can’t do until Monday, anyway, which is freaking me out as well. I don’t know why? Before you couldn’t get me on a scale for anything. But now, I don’t want to gain any weight this week. I hoped by bloggin today I won’t get out of control today.  Forwarned is forearmed right?

Why is it, that every holiday is surround by food? It seems like everything is planned around food or maybe I’m just noticing it more now that I’m trying to cut down on the food intake. Why does it seem to be harder to make good decision outside of my own house. Yet I’m going to strive for that today and the rest of the weekend.

I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!!!!

    Family and Food. It must be a cultural thing.
    Fourth of July? How about some Hot Dogs, Chips and Ice Cream?? Christmas? How about a 5-course turkey dinner, three kinds of pies, 16 cookies and a fruit cake that I would never eat on any other holiday?? Don’t even get me started on Thanksgiving.

    It’s hard. Sometimes too hard. Just ride it out and pick up the pieces once it’s over.
