Southern Biscuit Failure

As a yankee living in the south, I have noticed many odd things.

1. People put things "up" and not AWAY

2. Y'all is written in professional emails from administrators

3. People love sweet tea more than Jesus

4. I can't go anywhere without tripping over a Baptist church

5. Bojangles. yep.

6. Hospitality almost always includes food.

7. People here get "to-go" cups when they leave a restaurant

8. Pimento cheese is delicious.


It was #6 that got me into trouble today. Big W, one of my favorite colleagues, brought me a breakfast treat today....a smaller-ish biscuit with country ham. w e a k n e s s. I am learning to love biscuits. dangerous.

I gave into that biscuit. I calculated my point values and am sadly, probably using some of my reserve points today. It was freaking delicious. But the guilt I am now feeling tells me I should have just put that Southern hospitality breakfast treat into my bag and taken it home to boyfriend. Not worth it. Lesson learned. I know at some point, once I'm closer to my goal, that I will be able to enjoy biscuit deliciousness without guilt. But for now, I know I just want and need to stay away from things that I can't plug into my points values and be satisfied with. WW is a lifestyle change, not a binge diet. And real life includes biscuit treats.

On a side note, yesterday was much easier and I was less hungry as my body continues to adjust to non-crap food. I'm feeling positive about everything and am hoping to get a high-five from Big W next time instead of a biscuit.
