After the Flood Comes the Understanding

I made a vow to eat more healthfully, and I immediately freaked out. I hate Girl Scouts, never was one, never would be one, and now I've eaten two boxes of their f-ing cookies in less than 24 hours. That, by the by, is about 2.400 extra calories. Freak out city. But I'm sticking to blaming the Girl Scouts; they're short, and there's pretty much nothing they can do about it. (I know, I'm a meany.)

So here's my new strategy. I need to identify my triggers, and I definitely have them.

1. Snack time during class when teachers bring in goodies
2. The vending machine
3. Breaks during long classes
4. Girl Scout cookies
5. Weekends sitting around and studying
6. Going out to eat
7. Being thirsty (many people interpret thirst as hunger)
8. Coffee houses (How can I have coffee without candy or cake?)
9. Stress
10. My boyfriend (it's true, he eats garbage, and still as I've said before, weighs the same as me!)

So I need a new lunch/snack packing strategy, so here it is:

Breakfast at home today:

1 egg omelet with tomatoes and cheese
1 slice grainy/seedy bread with Olivio
1 cup skim milk w/ 1 tsp. hershey's syrup

Lunch out with friends today:

1 bowl of soup at Panera (I'm going online now to investigate)
The sad little apple they give you
One of my yogurts that's listed below

Packed in my lunchbag for snacks/dinner:

2 Yoplait light yogurts
2 light cheesesticks
1 lean cuisine meal in tupperware
1 apple
1/2 cup yellow pepper slices
3/4 cup raw broccoli

Wish me luck -- my night class is my first challenge, and I'm reserving a yogurt and broccoli pieces to eat when the professor inevitably hands out some delectable type of treat. I've never made it through one whole day before. Scary but true.
