I have a confession to make...

...and it is not something I am proud of.  Not at all.  And it is TOTALLY unlike me.

Yesterday....

I ate almost an ENTIRE bag of potato chips....

and a candy bar.

********

LOL!  I have NO IDEA what got into me.  I am really not a junk food person. Well, let me rephrase that.  I LOVE junk food but I don't usually eat it.  If I want to be able to run around and play with my kids and set a good example for them, I just can't do it.  Two and a half years ago I made some major lifestyle changes and junk food and I just don't go together anymore.

But yesterday, I took a nap.  And I woke up thinking about Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream potato chips.  I got up, drove to the store, bought them (and not even the baked kind that I would normally get if I wanted a few chips), drove home, made a grilled cheese sandwich (to justify the "side dish" of chips), grabbed a drink and sat down.  And I ate the sandwich, just so I didn't feel so guilty about the chips.  And then I got more chips.  Then later in the afternoon I had some more.  And then last night I worked myself down to the bottom of the bag. They were the most delicious thing ever. 

Oh, and the candy bar?  That was for breakfast yesterday!  LOL!

Seriously, this is so not me.  And I don't foresee a repeat anytime soon.  But some days, you just need to do what you need to do.  And yesterday I NEEDED to eat chips, right?

I feel a little sick just thinking about it, so the chip story is officially over.

And speaking of junk food, I scrapped a quick page yesterday.

Not sure what is on the agenda for the day.  Probably a trip to the pool, maybe a nap, maybe a trip to find a scrapbook store...who knows. Just some time with the family.  Love that.

Have a great Tuesday!

I would have guessed the pregnant thing too - cravings! No, really though, I wish I had some willpower to not eat junk food. No will power in my girl.

That LO is FABULOUS - first of all - I have the same plates. Second - my girls do the same thing with doughnuts - love it - those little stinkers!

Hope you are enjoying your day!

those chips were probably awesome too! Sometimes when you are craving something it is just the best thing ever. The sandwich cracked me up. My grandmother often ate dessert instead of a meal and I thought that was horrible. Looking back I realize that she was 105 pounds her whole life and I haven't seen that since Junior High so she was probably on the right track!!!!

LOL! You're probably going to get lots of comments about being pregnant! :) Have a great week!

LOL Janet! As long as it's totally unlike you, you're okay. It's when you do that ALL the time... ;-)

Cute page. I love everyday moments like that.

Love your page---inspires me to dig up AND take some everyday pics!
