It's Out.....

of the house; the cookies and little treats.  I gained about 3 pounds between last Monday and this morning when I weighed in.  I have been swimming/walking in the pool every day except for Christmas day.  But when your tongue gets a taste of something sweet; it just wants more.  Your body seems to crave it.  It is so easy to slide back into eating oblivion.  I have a cruise to go on Sunday, so I have to be really careful this week; a cruise is one big food smorgasbord. let me tell you.  One has to have lots of restraint.  If one can just say "the pleasure of eating something only lasts for a minute or two; why jeopardize the whole diet?"  I know, easier said than done. It's all in the mind-set.  So set your mind against temptation and remember you are doing this for your health.
