You know what I hate? I hate it when I am smack dab right where I need to be on plan and I begin to wonder just when I'm going to fall. I begin thinking about all the good stuff in the kitchen and ruminate about just when I'm going to cave. It just drives itself to the front of my mind until I can't concentrate on anything else. And, finally, I give in if only to relieve myself of the burden of not knowing when I'm going to give in. And then I start thinking, well I've blown it for today, might as well keep going. As if there was something magical about sleeping at night and starting with a clean slate in the morning. Before you know it, all the cereal, popcorn, granola bars, bacon, graham crackers, and chips are gone. That's right, in a span of 20 minutes I chokedown a couple of days worth of calories and carbs.
All because I began to worry about when I was going to fail.
I hate that.

We ALL hate that because we've ALL done it, well, I have anyway. And Miz is right, today IS a new day. Just yesterday in fact. I brough leftover chocolate chip cookies to give away at work and instead I ate them all myself. Probably about 7 cookies in about an hour. Sigh. But here's the good news...you DO in fact have a magical clean slate today. So just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back at it. Oh, and spend some time thinking about why you are so certain you will fail. If you are quiet and mindful long enough, it just might come to you. Now let's DO this!
ReplyDeleteYeah... been there done that!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I try to do when I lose my grip is to make rein it in so it's just for that small span of time rather than covering the remainder of the day. I mean, it's annoying because I'd really like the excuse just to throw all reason to the winds and chow down especially after I have no hope of hitting my calorie target for the day, but I remind myself that regaining control still means fewer calories consumed.
I don't always succeed with this, mind you, but I make an attempt ;)
Delete the word "make" in the first line of the long paragraph, please. Thanks. Eye kan tipe gud.
ReplyDeleteIt happens to all of us. Get over it and move on. You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by and sharing your words. Writing out things that I hate tends to clarify the confused jumble of thoughts. I'm glad to know I'm not alone!
