little bad habits

This week I have noticed I have a lot of little bad habits.  I don’t know why I bothered to notice or maybe I am starting to realize they may contribute to weight gain.   For me it is some sort of bonus when I get the first parking spot at the mall.  Well, this week I tried to park further and walk .  I have to admit when it is cold and I have kids that are screaming  “pick me up”; the closest parking spot is more than a bonus…. It is like  hitting the lottery.

 
 
Also, I did well with my eating this week.  I didn’t splurge too much.  I did eat some birthday cake.  One piece onlyJ  I did have to catch myself, though.  I like the thin layer of  cake that comes of the  bottom and sticks to the serving plate.  For some reason, it is softer and for me irresistible.  Well, my norm would be to grab a handful of it after all the cake is served.  Well, yesterday I reached for it and as I did a strange feeling came over me.  It was as if someone slapped on the wrist.  I could no longer eat it and after that did not want it.

 
These awakenings have been very interesting and enlightening to me.  It is as if I live in some sort of auto-pilot. Just doing things, because I always have.  Well, it is time for me to take control of the wheel and start righting this ship.
