You Need Me, I Don't Need You

Parents bringing home Corica's apple strudel and ricotta cake (my favourite, no lie) is not conducive to healthy eating.

Of course I ate some. In fact, I ate a lot. I will not say no to anything that delicious or luxurious. I will not say no to something I love but rarely eat. Due to my inability to say no (or eat a smaller serve), I will have to go for an extra intense jog tomorrow. Maybe I will race the old guy who runs along the same path as me.

I wanted to buy boots today really badly. Sometimes, I get these cravings in my head. I think about something then I have to act on it. It's like I can't be fulfilled unless I do it. Today, it was the boots. I wanted some, I needed some. I went to Betts where they had 30% off on quite a few cute ones but they were still around the $70-80 mark. Completely acceptable in many ways. I went to Novo and found an adorable pair for super cheap ($40) but they didn't have my size. I was lost. I was mentally and emotionally confused. I was experiencing that Carly Rae Jepsen song, Tug of War. In my heart and in my soul. I knew I would be depressed if I came home without boots but I also knew I would be depressed if I bought a pair that I wasn't completely set on (after the initial exhilaration of boot purchasing wore off).

So I didn't buy any boots. I will wait. We shall see.

I sense a lot of unhealthy eating will go on for the next week or so as some relatives are in town. This kind of annoys me. Whilst I love eating out and indulging in amazing, delicious, often carbacious food, I've been working pretty hard on my healthy eating and I know that getting back to this healthy routine after they leave will be super hard.

I will persevere.

(Also, have you heard that new Mariah Carey song? Oh, my God. She is so boss.)
