Damn Package

Got the mail today and sure enough my mother-in-law sent us a box. There is always some kind of sweet in the darn thing and this time it happened to be jelly beans (my husbands favorite). I looked once at the little sack begging me to take it out of the box, and turned the other way:) So why the 'Damn Package' title to this post-- because she sent a huge bag of pistachios and 2 packets of beef jerky. I do consider these paleo (beefy jerky is debatable by some), that is not the problem: it is my pre-Paleo habits that instinctively took over. Was I hungry? Nope. Did I want to eat some nuts and beef jerky because I had not had them in a while? Yes. So I had half a package of jerky and a handful of pistachios. Not terrible. But then before I came up here to blog, I grabbed the pistachios back out of the cupboard to have some more. While standing up eating them I told myself, okay take a drink of water between every 2-3 pistachios thinking I would fill up with water and stop eating. Nope. Instead I ended up drinking all my water and only then made myself stop eating them. Now I have a belly ache from being so full and bloated. That is terrible.

I hope I figure a way to stop this problem soon because eating too much of the clean stuff will still prevent me from reshaping my body!
