Just Keep Swimming

As a very wise Weight Watcher's leader once said,  "If you stumble on one step, are you just going to throw yourself down the rest of the flight?"

Apparently I am a glutton for pain and punishment.  This appears to be a direct reflection on my all or nothing state of mind.  Last night I had already eaten supper and wasn't a bit hungry; yet, I still was found hunched over the pan of (delicious if I must say so myself) bbq cheddar meatloaf scarfing a whole chunk of the warm greasy goodness.  That first bite started the snowball down the destructive slope as it was followed by several spoonfuls of mashed potatoes, an English toffee covered ice cream bar, and a beer.  Those last two items are not even things that normally appeal to me.  I guess they didn't really last night, but they were just victims of the slippery slope.

So this morning, I picked myself up from the base of the "stairs" and started the new day; healthy snacks in hand and a belly ache reminder of last night's messy snowball.
