Brush Yourself Off

TWIZZLERS BE MY DOWNFALL!!!!!!  Well, that didn't take long.  Last night the first bad craving hit and the Twizzlers got me.  I thought I could handle just four and be good, but I slipped and devoured nearly the whole bag.  Now, with nearly all of my WeightWatchers flex points  depeleted, lets reevaluate the sitation.  Let's see where I went wrong and how to fix it.

1. Flex points are flex points.  It would  have been nice if I used them for something a bit healthier, but oh well.
2. I talked about brushing your teeth after eating, but I didn't and allowed the delicious taste of Twizzlers to linger and BAM!!!!!!!......I go crazy for Twizzlers like a tween at a Justin Bieber concert.
3. I was dehydrated.  I know I didn't drink enough water yesterday and the human brain is a tricky little beast.  When we get dehydrated and fail to drink, the brain tricks us into feeling hungry knowing that our tendency is to also drink when we are snacking.  (Drinking my water even as I type this.)
4. Don't listen to my brain when it tells me that I can handle a 1 pound bag of Twizzlers in my house.  Next time I will  just buy a package from a vending machine and set it asided for when I really want a little something sweet.

So, I guess the moral of the story is to lo brush myself off and learn from the Twizzler attack.  I know it won't be the last time, but with time and careful planning, perhaps I can reduce them to a minimum.

Be careful....it is coiled to attack like a vicious cobra and always on the hunt for fat guys.
