Just Some Small Talk about cookies...

Ok. I have lost some weight.  *go me!*

People have been noticing.

and I'm okay with this.

I love seeing people that I haven't seen in a while,

and they all have been asking if I lost weight.

Lots of feel good stuff.

I don't own a scale, so I do not know the exact amount that I have lost... but as of Labor Day, it was 15 pounds... which brings me 5 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight.. and 10 pounds more than when I got married (6 years ago)... which is my goal weight... fyi.

I believe I know the culprit.

::gulp::

...

it's the Newman O's!

I'm not a calorie counter.

And if I like something I generally do not look at the nutritional values.

but

for some terrible reason

I looked at the label of my Newman O's.

::sigh::

I hope I did not convert anyone into a Newman O eater.

If I did, and you want to remain in the blissdom that is ignorance...

Please. Skip this next section.

...

There are 130 calories per serving.

2 cookies are 1 serving.

...

I used to eat about a box in one day week.

There are 13 servings per box.

That is 1690 calories, folks.

More than what you are supposed to eat in a day.

I was eating an extra day of calories... and not GOOD calories.. per week.

Eating 8 days a week.

Plus all the OTHER junky food that I eat.

I stopped eating them for a while, because the stores were out... 

Now I have an entire package of my Newman O's in my pantry.

Only 2 cookies are gone.

They beckon to me... but I resist.

They make me want to vomit.

Now.
This is where it gets even sadder. 

Remember my shopping trip?

...
well
...

That's where the "small talk" comes in....

KSK: I think I need to do another shopping spree....

Jerk Face: Why?

KSK: Because,  I stopped eating those cookies and now I don't fit into my new clothes anymore...

Jerk Face: Didn't we just buy more cookies?

KSK: ...

cheap ass.
