Too full to tackle…

Tonight, I had plans for my tackle. I even have my before pictures.

But, after giving into Jackson’s pleas to stop at a fast food restaurant for dinner, now I feel too full to tackle.

Yes, the best way for me to keep from eating fast food is to indulge every so often. Then I feel miserable and I have no desire to touch a french fry for at least a few months.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I can pound back dessert like there is no tomorrow. I don’t have a sweet tooth — I have a whole mouthful! And I enjoy myself some french fries every now and then.

But french fries and chicken strips, followed by ice cream?!? Well, right now I am really regretting my decision to pull into that parking lot! I feel awful and in NO mood for tackling anything. (If only my own mother had been there to remind me, “If you eat all that you are going to get a stomach ache!”)

I am usually pretty good at resisting. (Normally, I just steal a few fries from my kids’ meals and order myself a salad or a wrap.) But those salty, yummy fries were irresistible tonight.

My big mistake was to top it all off with ice cream! LOL But remember that sweet tooth I mentioned?

I just want to curl up with a jug of water and my pillow and wait till morning comes, when it is all just a greasy memory.

In my defense, this weekend I did tackle the LOUDEST birthday party ever. Yes, Jackson turned eight and we had a great, albeit very loud, time. Check out the photos here.

Oh — and tell me — what are your weaknesses when it comes to over-indulging? Do you hit the drive through, call the delivery man or raid the ice cream in your freezer? (I usually go for ice cream. But as I said, every once and awhile the salty fries win me over!)

What have you been tackling in your life?
