Has it been (almost) a week already?

Sunday, April 08, 2012

Hard to believe that the last blog I wrote was almost a whole week ago... Time flies whether you're having fun or not.

Did okay all week til Friday. I did some jogging in the morning and even though I ate the same thing I usually have for breakfast, I was starving. So instead of eating the apple in my bag (at work) or even eating my sandwich early.... I ate a candy bar. (sigh) And then it was all downhill from there.

I don't know if that little bit of exertion really makes me that much hungrier or if it's just psychological. BUT next time I'll pack a couple peanut butter crackers in case I'm starving. Somehow I've got to work on that mindset of, well I've blown it with a candy bar so I may as well go hog wild. Because I always end up feeling bad about it, and even though I "recover" pretty quick and don't wallow in self-pity or beat myself up over it-- I still want to quit doing it.

    That is what I've been working on the most. One bad choice does not ruin a day, unless you choose to let it ruin the day. I'm successful in that thinking about 50% of the time now. What helps me is to track what I just ate. So, the candy bar added 300 calories to your day. Maybe you can skip some carbs somewhere else during the day and make up for it. Or, you could just go over by 300 calories and remember that it would take 11 days of having a candy bar to gain just one pound. I hope this helps.

    I hear you MissR that self loathing thing is a tough one. It sounds like you're on the right track though, plan, practice and try to be ready next time. Keeping after it is the key...never say Die!! emoticon
