Diet Food & Denial
So last week I bought a pack of Snackwell’s Devil’s Food Cookie Cakes because I wanted something sweet yet healthy. Even though I am a size 6, I want to watch what I eat. I looked at the box and saw that they were 50 calories apiece and there were 12 in the box. Well, if I ate three a day I would be ok. Six cakes in I’m still telling myself that’s all for the day but one more won’t hurt because they’re diet food! I didn’t eat a big lunch that day so I would be making up for lost calories.
Four hours later after the entire box is gone and 600 calories consumed, I feel guilty. I knew had they been fat filled I would have paced myself but because they were “diet” it made it ok to gorge myself. I gave myself justification to go crazy and stuff my face. Don’t judge me…. I know I’m not alone in this.
