Who knows why I did it, but the last three days have devolved to my inner brat saying, "Screw it, I can eat what I want."
I'm good through three pm, and then the fridge pickin' started - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
And today, I have heartburn, a headache and three zits.
I'm back on program today, but trying to figure out why I was so damn obstinate about the cheating. Best I can come up with is that my day is so packed with doing for others that this was the treat I was giving myself. The whole "I deserve it" excuse.
But I deserve a strong and healthy body more.
Looking for any tips to get through that tough part of the day -- it's a weird thing, to want something for yourself but be sabotaging your own efforts.

This is a tough one. By hitting the fridge 3 days in a row you've tripped up the new habits that were forming. My solution is to drink tea and coffee, when my cravings are getting out of control.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly did these fridge runs consist of?
Stay strong!! Today I ALMOST dove head first into the chocolate cake, carrot cake, cookies, cookies, cookies, brownies, and cake (did I mention cake) piled high at an art opening...ok, I didn't want to DIVE, I just wanted a nibble. I had the coffee, and thought of my inspiration, and why I thought I needed the nibble (because it was free? plentiful?).
ReplyDeleteAll of the above.
It's so hard, I know. Make a list of all the things your new body will be able to do and experience if you stick to the plan. It helps. Good luck!
It was about a cup of lasagna each time -- home made, with turkey, but it think the cheese was the thing that messed me up.
ReplyDeleteAnd it was once each day, at three, I'd just go grab a slab of lasagna.
I'm back on tea now and it's helping much.
Groan.
