but I’m having a REALLY hard time.
I was totally in control until 6pm today. Then it happened.
The pizza came.
Pizza + Hormones = Overeating DISASTER
Since Saturday, it’s like I am not happy unless I’m actively chewing on something. You would think the gross, heavy, “I feel like I gained 25lbs” feeling would curb it, but NOoooo. Right now I’m nibbling on graham crackers.
I MUST BE STOPPED!
Why Why oh Why?
Ok, this is stupid. I’m not hungry. The graham crackers are going away and tomorrow I’m going to refocus.
UGH! I feel gross.
However, I am being accountable. I posted my food journal using my new table generator.
It is now behind me.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

There must be something in the water, Roni – I’ve been the same way, but I’ve been like this the past 2 weeks!!!
Hormones suck.
BTW, Ryan is adorable – I have a Ryan as well! :)
Roni,,,EXERCISE,SWEAT..,,,,,,,Write down things you need to do for the season,,take your little guy out to see lights,,or a stroll to the mall,to see the decorations,,treat yourself to a non fat latte…and drink GALLONS of water..I leave on a cruise for 10 days Wednesday,,..sure hope I can use self control…Such a bummer when you just lose that control you’ve had..but it will come back,,you’ve come a long way!!
is there a non-fat pizza or something???lolz
Is your husband getting the pizza. If you feel you have no control, try not to have it in the house.
me too….my hubby was finally home after being at work for 2 months straight (he’s in the Navy) and we PIGGED out for 4 days…definitely had a two pound gain on Sun. Yikes…and now my kids are sick so I can’t hit the gym..it’s back to 20 points a day, writing it ALL down and doing things with my time aside from eating…I am trying to clean, dance with the kids…anything to keep myself out of that forsaken kitchen. :-) You’ll get it back….you’ve come a LONG way!
There’s something about that “control” thing… the minute I think I’m in the driver’s seat, I’m doing great, I’m flying along… WHAM! wth!!? what’s up with that??
I’m going to link back to you on this one, because I am having the exact same problem. I’m a model health nut during the day, and then my alter ego of human garbage disposal comes out after dark!
Anyway, thanks a million for the table generator! I need to get back on counting so I can take advantage of this great tool! You are so damn sweet Roni!
I totally understand! I had a period of a few weeks recently where I was just… munchy without any good reason. What stopped me in my tracks was eating a piece of light string cheese EARLY in the morning… and making sure to get all of my 8 GHG in WITHOUT fail. Oh, and more exercise. ;) Today is a new day my friend – you’re going to do great!
Some days overeating happens. Accept that and enjoy your pizza. At some point you won’t feel like overeating. It will happen sooner if you don’t fight it.
Roni – examine what is going on emotionally that is making you want to chomp
Roni, try eating alot of protien. And also I like to take xtra vit. c. it tends to curb some cravings. Are you getting enough fish oil. You may try taking 2x 1000mg. of fish oil at night, especially during pms. I find it helps keep me in control. You can do it. Have a hot cup of herbal tea,they have great holiday teas out now. Good luck!!!!
RONI, I LOOKED AT WHAT YOU HAD DURING THE DAY AND FROM WHAT I SEE YOU ARE NOT EATING ENOUGH. TRY EATING MORE PROTEIN AND TRY TO SQUEEZE IN SOME “SUPER FOODS” SUCH AS BLUEBERRIES, SPINACH, NUTS,SEEDS, OATS. THEY WILL KEEP YOU FULLER LONGER AND TURN OFF THOSE CRAVINGS. TRY IT ANYWAY. WHAT COULD IT HURT???
FROM, JAMI
I hear ya sista! I’ve been having the same trouble, only on the weekends. I do so great all week and then Kablamo! Fridays hits and it’s a free for all. Ugh. BUT at least you stayed accountable for your pizza fiasco and journalled it right? Kudos to you for that.
We can’t be perfect 100% of the time. The important thing to to control and limit the “off the wagon” times and compensate with gym time and lots of water!
As cheesey as it sounds…sometimes I have to resort to literally saying outloud to myself “I can do this!”…of course I make sure nobody’s in the room first…:)
I feel your pain. I think we are on almost the same cycle. I finally took control of my weekend yesterday and stayed within my points, but didn’t drink enough water. Hormones happen. My dad has a saying: Some days you eat the bear and some days the bear eats you. I have my own saying: some days I could eat a whole bear. LOL!
I made your delicata steak fries recipe with dinner last night and had leftovers for lunch today. Yummy and I love that you don’t have to peel it! Thanks for your blog. I love your honesty (and your recipes)!
Hey Roni -
I just found your Blog last week, but wanted to say I totally know how you’re feeling. I do the same thing. I can ask myself why I’m doing the bad eating, but many times I still can’t figure it out and keep putting hand to mouth. You hang in there. You’re doing a beautiful job and putting yourself out there for the world to see is not an easy thing!
Roni,
This is just one of those inevitable things that your body does because it wants to gain the weight back. It might be in starvation mode or something..you just never know. I think perhaps you could let yourself have 30 points a day for a while..or whatever you would like to up it (and be okay with it) until you feel like you can do it again. I think you have to be ready to loose weight mentally…I don’t think you can force it. You are still at a very good weight BMI wise, so don’t sweat it. Just be nice to yourself and try to enjoy what you do indulge in. I hope that helps. I am routing for you!
Hi! Just found your blog and am really enjoying reading it! You are such an inspiration!!!
Good luck on your way to your goal!!! :-)
I am telling you – pizza will do it everytime…it is the crack of food! Someone should study the combonation of carbs and protein etc to see what the deal is with Pizza. The same thing happens to me with enchiladas – if I make a pan I eat the whole pan and then I can’t stop eating for days!
Pizza Fiasco? Isn’t he a rapper? :)
Sometimes emotional stuff can make you want to eat, but sometimes it’s just the smell of a tasty pizza. . . .
