amazingly
i haven't been eating these by the handful
but
they still make my mouth water
when i look at them
::
i added some sugar back into my diet
by using the same french vanilla creamer in my tea that i have lived on for years
::
i can't tell you how happy that made me
::
and
i quickly figured out
~with all of your great advice~
that eating things that are good for me has to be a balance of give and take
because if it isn't
it's too easy for me to tell the bagger at the grocery store that he sucks at his job
and
that's just not right

beth, you are 2 funny....
ReplyDeletelove the pic too... very dreamy....
happy tuesday...
I agree with you...TOO healthy isn't healthy. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL....why do i feel the need to hug you and the bagger?
ReplyDeleteYep, ever notice how you just HAVE to have the things you're told not to. It's a given. You're a rebel. If you don't believe me look at your photo in yesterday's post. :)
ReplyDeleteI get really cranky without a little of the bad stuff in my diet!
ReplyDeleteModeration in all things seems to be the best way with nutrition and food.
ReplyDeleteUnless, of course, the bagger really does suck at his job. Then you are doing him a favor.
ReplyDeleteBalance, my friend! You have found the key.
You have such zingers at the ends of your posts!
ReplyDeleteI believe firmly in moderation.
enjoy that french vanilla creamer, beth.
ReplyDeletethe baggers and stupid drivers of the world will thank you. :)
This made me laugh and reminded of my late friend Mary. Back in the day, a million years ago, when women had to go to the dr. to get HRT shots, she showed up one day for hers and told the receptionist she thought she'd forgotten hers, that she was overdue. Well, the receptionist replied, I can always tell when my shot is due because everyone starts being real mean to me.

Enjoy!

I've gotta say, that's what I love about Weight Watchers. No forbidden, but you have to stay within boundaries. It doesn't really matter if you're following a program or doing it yourself, or controlling a bad habit -- boundaries seem to work, at least they do for me!
ReplyDelete"Moderation in all things" is a good way to live in our lives of over abundance...
ReplyDeleteSuch self restraint!
ReplyDeleteLOL...I wanted to tell the bagger yesterday that she sucked. Hello! Who puts bananas at the bottom of a bag!!! I had to repack in my trunk!
ReplyDeleteAnyway...
Moderation darling...you can't live on green stuff alone...
When you have an internal battle going on in the mind, both are not right-they are based on 'shoulds'. What does your heart want to do?
ReplyDeleteGood for you! You can't remove all joy out of life - it is a balance.
ReplyDeleteNO sugar at all? We all need a little bit of that in our day..don't we? And - my mouth is watering...
ReplyDeleteyeah i believe anything in moderation
ReplyDeletenow we know what keeps us sweet ...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you took control and saved the bagger at the grocery store. This was funny......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteWell, if he does indeed suck, then it's his comeuppance, right? No need for slacker grocery boys.
ReplyDeleteI just can't picture you being all snarky, Beth...Can't do it.
I bet you are a funny type of snarky though. Like, after someone walks off and is thinking about how funny & cute & charming you are, only then do they realize you've served them a huge burn... Unless you are proficient at the b*tch slap. That's usually pretty instantaneous....
that picture makes my mouth water too...
ReplyDeletefor me it is ice cream. Funny, I am on day 4 of a 9 day cleanse right now... and those m&m's are just .... well, I am just glad you didn't post ice cream. Hmmmm... maybe I will.
:)
oh goodness...m&m's....my weakness are the peanut ones. my mom always has them out when we go visit her...she's cruel! :-)
ReplyDeleteit is hard to get it just right! i am trying to be more healthy, too, and sometimes it just makes me crave all the REALLY BAD STUFF. must find a balance, somehow/someway!
ReplyDeleteI just had three krispy creme donuts...
ReplyDeleteI completely understand you! haha.
love the picture
Your words always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
Take care,
Katelen
I agree, there are some things that you just can't live without.
ReplyDeletemoderation sweetie moderation
ReplyDeleteyou are right even my husband who is diabetic once in a while has that sundae. moderation you can do that i know you can:)
ReplyDeletekt
clean eating. we are all into it. m & m's included.
ReplyDeletei hated it when my dad said this, but here goes.... everything in moderation is good for you.
ReplyDeletemoderation in everything EXCEPT m&ms
ReplyDeleteLOL@ Elk. I can take or leave M&M's but if it was a bowl of salty chips I would have to sneak a few. Leading to consumption of the entire bowl of course!
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of your comments. Chocolate is so-so and I can leave it alone, but I have to have the salty stuff... And I agree that being healthy is a hhuge give and take. It's hard to strike the right balance though. And welcome back to the world of French Vanilla creamers...we missed you!
ReplyDeleteHa! You made me laugh out loud...that happens often when I visit you.
ReplyDeleteI am quite amazed that you can take a picture of these little m's and not grab a handful...I have learned that I can't keep them in my house. I have no will power. The chocolate wins. Every time.
