Since my 33rd birthday (the thing that is supposed to motivate me the most) I am having trouble controlling what I eat. I know that sounds crazy but I give in. I start my day out with good intentions. Breakfast is good. Then I have a snack and I'm still hungry so I wait just a little longer and have lunch. Something light such as a salad and I love salads. But it doesn't satisfy me. So I eat some cheese-its that a co-worker brought in. I know as long as I count the calories in my daily intake it will be OK but then I want more. And the day just starts to spiral. Maybe I hold out until dinner and have a good dinner but then the cheesecake that's going to go bad is calling my name. So when I should be on the treadmill running (this was the 8 pm plan) I'm eating cheesecake. Well I can't get on right after I've ate it will make me sick. So I wait but then I wait too long and if I workout now I won't be able to get to sleep. And to make matters worse, by this time I'm not even writing down what I'm eating or counting the calories because what's the point! So it's depressing and discouraging but I can NOT give up!
So now that I've said ALL this I will wait about 15 minutes and I WILL get on THAT TREADMILL, even if it's just to walk not run!
Tomorrow is a brand new day!
Oh Jamie! You got this in the bag girl. Everyone has bad days. Today is a new day and a new start. You have filled your cravings and you cannot give up all you love. Just be careful of the portion sizes, that's all. I am proud of you. I know you can do this. Good luck on your journey today.
