Christmas Cookies are the death of me

Just small mini rant:

Made Christmas cookies with my family like we do every year. And then my mom sent me home with 3 tins. Aight, I’ll just go through them slowly and try and count everything.

Couldn’t figure out with LoseIt how to plug in the recipe we used, so I went off of what I could online. Did 150cal for 2 cookies. Aight, seems fair.

And then I started to sneak in the small broken pieces. And then I started to add in different cookies as the same calorie count. And then I started to sneak in the smaller cookies themselves.

Well turns out I was counting everything wrong, and each cookie is closer to 100 cal each.

My weight was baselining at 158lbs the past two weeks. I thought it was water weight from the holidays or just my hormones. I actually cried when I realized it was the cookies

Needless to say, I am counting my calories better now and going to lower my calorie budget by 50cal to help get me back on track.

I miss eating desserts so much 😭
