Slippery Slope

Isn't it funny how eating one thing that isn't good for you can lead to eating a whole slew of things that are even worse for you.  Some how in our heads we take one bite of the "forbidden fruit" and then decide that we have gone this far we might as well just give up and keep eating the whole fruit, and then another and another.

We find some stupid way to rationalize to ourselves that after that one bad bite it just doesn't matter any more and we might as well keep eating.  

That was me last night.  I went out for a girl friends night and wine and nibbles.  I knew going in what to expect food wise.  I should have arrived with a nice healthy treat to make sure that I had something good for me to nibble on, but instead I showed up with a bottle of wine.

There was a table full of "forbidden fruit" and I probably tried everything on the table and not just one of everything.

Its not that I ate the forbidden fruit that bothers me.  The problem is that most of the food Just Wasn't Worth It.  It wasn't that good.  It wasn't something that I ate and said OMG sooo good.

I paid for it was a night of horrible sleep and feeling bloated.  No waking up feeling skinnier for me today.  But the worse part of all this was when I was driving into work and started rationalizing to myself that I had eaten all that bad food already and I feel crappy today so I might as well go out and get that bagel sandwich.

I wasn't even hungry since I had already had breakfast when I was having these thoughts.  

Because I feel tired and drained today, I should be fuelling my body with good healthy foods that will help me keep my energy up.  Not eating things that will raise my blood sugar and then send it crashing down along with my energy.
