I have to admit, I am proud of myself for my food today.  I am a very healthy cooker when it comes to making dinner.  I never use salt, I only use olive oil, I always have fresh fruit and greek yogurt and we never have sugar cereal in the house.   Where I get into trouble is during the day. I can start off with a great breakfast and then the afternoon comes and I am out and about and then I pull into Burger King for a burger.  Then at night, I am a "bored" eater. I can sit down to watch tv and I feel like I have to do something so I grab munchies.  Well, not anymore.

Today I had that inkering to go grab a burger since I was right there at the vet, but I opted to go home and drink some water.

Today, I made whole wheat pancakes with blueberries and sausage for dinner.  I LOVE pancakes and I do make them healthy, but I knew I had to eat a  little healthier, so I made my egg omelet.  The funny thing is that 2 of my kids actually tried my omelet and liked it.

I am learning to just think before I eat, which again, is going to take time.  But it is small steps and as I start to feel better about not eating so terrible during the day, I will see that it will all pay off.
