This has always been a BIG problem for me. Always has. Always will be I'm sure. For instance, it was pretty nasty here yesterday in KY and driving in snow and ice has always scared me. I was stressed to the max yesterday after I made it to work just worrying about being able to get home in the afternoon and all I could think about was chips, chocolate, any junk of any kind, etc....
Although I didn't go over my calories, I did consume more junk than normal and just didn't make the best choices in what I did eat. Now, the me of a couple years ago would have thrown up her hands and been like, "ok it's Tuesday and I've eaten all this crap. Might as well just eat junk the rest of the week and start over next week." I am happy to say that the old me is gone and instead I chalked it up to a bad DAY and started over fresh this morning. This is a journey and every journey begins one day at a time. So when you have a set back or a slip-up, and believe me you will, don't beat yourself up. You're human and we fall off the wagon from time to time. Don't give up because the journey is worth it when you reach your destination.
I remember those days too of "I will just start again next week" but sometimes that next week never came. The new me, gets over at the next meal or day depending on when I crap. We got this!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's easier now to do this than it used to be. I usually eat more junk in the afternoon so I just start over the next day. I try my best to stay busy in the afternoon to avoid temptation but sometimes slip-ups happen.
