It's all in the timing

So I think I picked the worst possible time to pick a healthy eating habit for this week's goal. Here are the odds stacked against me:

1. Easter candy. Need I say more?
2. Dreary cold weather. It's still a little hard to get outside right now. This weather just depresses me and depressed = overeating.
3. Dave is out of town for basically the next two weeks. Boredom in the evening + stress from kids + missing Dave = the biggest spoon I can find for the ice cream.
4. Whatever daily excuse I come up with to shove food in my face.

Come to think of it, April in general is a bad eating month for me. I've got Easter party food, Easter candy, Jake's birthday, Emma's birthday, and then a joint party for Jake's and Emma's birthday at the end of the month. I should just pack in my scale and dust it off again in May.
