Reality Check! Nobody Is Perfect

This one really is going out to all the ladies!  If any men have experienced what I'm about to share, I'd love to know (I'm sure its possible).  I have come to realize that the more I exercise, the hungrier I feel.  Given this fact, I keep my fridge and pantry full of healthy options so if a big glass of water does not cure the hunger, I at least know I will not do any harm.  I have also learned that sometimes, for whatever reason (I'm pretty sure of mine), I have cravings for some of those "not-so-good" options.  Well, this weekend, specifically Friday night, I was feeling sooo hungry and was having hard core cravings for tacos, peanut butter cookies, and cake!  I could have made my own tacos or practiced my ala carte strategy for Mexican take-out, but I was not in the mood to cook nor did I want to even have to get out of the car for any "special orders".  I could have made myself a peanut butter and banana sandwich, but that was not an option either.  My solution...drive my ass to taco bell and handle some business! Then, after I got home and downed my four tacos, yes 4, my husband went out to run some errands.  I insisted that he get me some cookies and/or cake.  Usually, he knows that I'm just saying it and can do without.  This time, I meant it!  God Bless him, he brought me some peanut butter cookies and piece of chocolate cake.  I inhaled four cookies and a huge bite of cake.  Surprisingly, I did not and still do not feel guilty.  I did not feel nor did I get sick.  I felt satisfied!  What have I learned from this?  I have learned that sometimes you just have to feed the craving, but be warned, you also have to recover!  It's the start of a new week and I no longer have these cravings.  I've also managed to get back on track quite easily.  This reminds me of why it is so important to keep only healthy options in the house.  Having to go out to feed the craving makes it easier to recover from it.  Nobody Is Perfect, Duh!
