is it worth it?
Happy Holidays everyone!
So, that question above helped me through Christmas at my sis-in-laws aka Betty Crocker. I got to her house and saw the piles of Christmas cookies and instead of doing the no I can’t have it thing I sampled and kept asking myself, “Is it worth it?” Most of the cookies weren’t worth the extra exercise and upset over the calories so that really helped. My friend’s wedding cookies and then the Happy Birthday Jesus cake, now those were worth it! LOL
It is a helpful question though, so thought I’d pass it along. I used it before when I was drinking alot of Mochas after going to the gym - that mocha would be my WHOLE workout. Eventually, they weren’t worth it anymore. All I can say is, good thing my friend only gave me 4 wedding cookies

I hear you there. Was that huge Christmas dinner worth all the extra weight? I was somewhat careful, but seem to have a never ending appetite this past week..LOL!!
Sounds like you did a good job…way to go!!
I love the question…although Christmas is now, sadly, a thing of the past….I will practice this today…let’s see how it goes! Thanks for the tip!
Is It worth it is a very valid question that I have used many times to help me out! Way to go with the discipline! Keep up your hard work!
That’s a great question to be asking yourself….I have tried that self talk also….I ask is this food going to give me nutrious enegry or will my energy spike and then crash…looking for more….
Very good idea to have that as a main question…I just have trouble stopping once I start don’t even seem to think of asking any kind of question I just inhale…ugh. Thanks for the idea of the question.. and congrats on your pounds lost..that’s great!
I decided at the beginnng of the holidays that I would eat whatever was tempting to me. I just had to understand that it was my choice and not the urgings of others in my family “go ahead, eat the cookie, its christma…one little cookie”. The way I look at it is this. January is a new beginning; so I look forward to starting a new slate and seeing how far I get this year. 2007 was not a bad year for me, but I know that 2008 will be even better! So go for the cookie and know that you are still in control!
