Going Up? (No, going down...)

So almost the day after posting about my reckless abandon, I did it again!!!  What is WRONG with me???  I caught a little stomach flu this week, so didn't eat anything for a couple of days.  When I started feeling better, I began eating nice, starchy, calming foods.  Who knew (well, to be honest, I DID know, but I didn't care), that a few biscuits with jam and butter, washed down with some milk, would exceed my daily pointsplus limit?  The day I started feeling better I was already using up some of my weekly points.  And the next day it seems I couldn't eat enough.  I used 20 points just on breakfast!!!  (And I could've eaten more, too)  And to top it off, we had another bday to celebrate this weekend.  My oldest daughter turned 13, so kind of a big deal.  I took her to the mall with some friends, and then to Olive Garden for dinner and dessert.  not only did it break my monetary bank, it completely annihilated my pointsplus one.  I didn't even bother to try to figure it out (or the 6, yes 6, Sees chocolates I had).  And, my old attitude of "I blew it anyway" came back with a vengeance.  Unfortunately my binge didn't end just at Olive Garden.

So, here I thought I'd hope on that little elevator.  Figuring I had extra points to spare, in a way, because I didn't eat for two days.  And lo, and behold, the elevator did go up a floor or two, but I think a monkey must have been playing with the controls or something, cuz it suddenly plummeted.  Way down.  Like when you start going down that huge drop on a roller coaster.  I crashed at the bottom.  And it hurt.  Today I am picking up the pieces and will try to dig myself out of the pit I landed in.  Here's hoping summer comes soon; we won't have any birthdays to worry about then!
