Moral Dilemma...

Okay, its actually not a "moral" dilemma... that just sounded more intense.  So I'm at a turning point. I've had sort of lousy last few nights and now I feel like I've blown the 100 days.  Wouldn't it be so much better if I'd actually done something for the entire100 days like I'd planned? It seems like my effort is no good because I've had either a treat or ate after dinner (or both) recently... last night being involving the most of both.  So I can either a) forget it- the whole thing, since I haven't done as I've planned , b) decide that those first slip-ups were my break-in period and have 87 more awesome days and keep blogging about it c) start the whole thing over for a new 100 days d) drive myself crazy

Why is it so hard to stick something like this?? Why can't I just have a fearless attitude and do it no matter what? Why is my word no good... no matter how much I belive it myself when I say it or think it? So my readers, I'm going to get back to you later today with my decision.

Little Update

So How did the last days go up until now? Well, I had a great day 4,5, & 6.  It was starting to get easier... until day 7 & 8, which didn't go as well as one would hope.  Oh well, guess I'm not super-human yet... some day. So today is day 9 and I'm done eating dinner and me and my cute hubby are going to chill and watch a flick.  I'm convincing myself as I write that diet orange soda and gum will suffice.  It seems like I won't ever be able to break my bad habits if I don't actually start breaking them... does that make sense?

Day 2 & Day 3

So I'm not quite at the end of Day 3... we are about to watch the season finale of Lost.  This would normally include some innocent light popcorn... and then something sweet of course, so maybe some candy.  Not tonight pal! Tonight it's some Fresca or Coke Zero; or both. Oh yeah... and multiple pieces of gum... mmm, gum.

Day 2 was great too! I chalk it up to beginners luck- and of course my newfound dedication to all of my blog readers! I watched my family eat cookie dough ice cream and for a second thought, why can't I enjoy that bowl with them like a normal mom? Oh yeah, because then I would want another bowl, some candy and any other sort of sweet-tasting food after that.

(the next morning).... so I'm setting out for day 4 today!

How it went...

So I have Day 1 under my belt (not that my belt fits any looser at this point).  My first day of anything is always the easiest, so I know I'm going to have to REALLY try to stick to the full 100 days... something that I've never done before.

Last night I can only think of 2 times (maybe 3) that I thought about eating after dinner/eating a treat:
1) My daughter asked if we could go get ice cream after we went out to eat and so we were going to stop at Mc Donalds on the way home... mmmmm Mc Donalds ice cream - a personal weakness
2)We stopped at Mc Donalds so I could get a soda... went in to get it and the ice cream.  When they handed it to me wanted just 1 bite.  Then I remembered it was day 1!
3) Thought it was a good idea to have a spoonful of cookie dough ice cream from the freezer... but remember how this would break both the treat and not eating after dinner... and it is NEVER just a spoonful

Let's hear it for day #2: whoot, whoot!!

The first day of 100 days...

So today marks an exciting day in the life of me. It is the first day of my 100 days of Awesomeness.  What is 100 days of Awesomeness?  It is the rest of the summer (approximately 100 days left) when I am awesome... specifically in the area of eating. More specifically, where I don't eat after dinner and dont eat treats for the next 100 days.
