I take that back

I don’t hate weekends.  Last weekend was fabulous on the eating end.   I didn’t think about food all the time and I didn’t wander in the kitchen looking for something to eat at random moments.  On Monday, it dawned on me that eating wasn’t a big deal.  Score one for me!  I’ve heard that it takes two weeks to change a habit.  Maybe I just needed to change the habit I had of thoughtless eating.

I’m not looking forward to this weekend’s weigh in, even with a good start.  I’ve eaten more than my share of food that, while not completely unhealthy, aren’t good choices for me.  My boss gave me a package of chocolate covered coffee beans on Thursday.  I ate the entire thing.  I just can’t have one of something and let it go.  Today I felt slightly pukey and I had quite a few packages of saltines.  Carbs are my kryptonite. 

I suppose I should work on creating the new habit of moderation.  Ya’ think?

I’ve filed a claim against the Etsy seller through PayPal and reported her to Etsy.  It makes me sad.  I really enjoy buying from sellers on Etsy.  I always found cute, original items and I like supporting small, independent sellers.  I’ve had nothing but good experiences until now.  I’ll be much more careful in the future, that’s for sure.  Looking back, there really weren’t any red flags that I should have noticed, but I’ll look for sellers who are recommended by other people, rather than browsing and finding someone.  I’ll also look carefully for when they last sold an item.  The Bad Etsy Seller (BES) hadn’t had a sale since November, 2008.  Just two months fromwhen I placed my order, but maybe something I should have thought about.  The BES had 100% positive feedback too.  Well, until today.
