My Little Binge Last Night.......

I've been doing pretty good on trying to lose five pounds.  I cut out eating chocolate and have been writing down what I eat.  You'd be surprised at how much a person eats when you see it on paper.  I've been trying to eat a light lunch and not much at supper.  Also fresh fruits every day.  My husband always has to have potato chips and peanuts in the house.  He lives on them and always has to have some available.  I stay away from potato chips but occasionally eat some peanuts.  

A couple of days ago I was checking out in a grocery store. They had those Tootsie Dots gumdrops on sale and I always have liked them.  They were only 99 cents for a large box.   Well, I grabbed two of them since I saw they had no fat.  Last night, as I lyed in bed I thought about those gumdrops and got up and quickly opened a box.  They were really good and I kept popping them in my mouth.  I nearly ate the whole box and now I feel bad about it.  I told my daughter she can have the other box if she wants them.  I have to cut this out.  Last year I lost five pounds and gained it back in the winter.  This spring and summer I've been trying to lose five pounds and it's definitely a challenge.  I think the older you get the harder it is to lose weight, but I am not giving up yet!
