Today I would consider a good day. I had a graduation luncheon to go to for a friend and the menu was pasta or pasta... so I had pasta. I didn't load my plate and better yet I didn't go for seconds!!! The bad part was the cake (it was actually the best part.. but you know what I mean). I tried to just eat the cake and not the frosting hopefully that helped me to not over-indulge. I am sticking to water (sweet tea used to be my water) and I have learned that exercising is really giving me energy- Which COMPLETELY surprised me! I'm still trying to make food relate to hungry ONLY... but I have used food for so many other things (emotional comfort mainly)that it is hard to break that conditioning. (Any pointers??)
I have this problem too, especially under stress. I know the usual advice, take a walk, call a friend etc...I keep waiting for one that really clicks with me. At the meeting I think donna said something in regards to eating something you really shouldn't something like "eat it, but you have to stand naked in front of the mirror while you do it" I think if I could pull that thought up quickly at the right times it might stop me in my tracks. But sometimes you are doing it before you realize what is happening!
I went to my daughter's end of the year cookout today... The menu was hotdogs, baked beans, fruit, cake, brownies.... I did have a hotdog, fruit, etc... and yes I did have a small piece of cake... but then I came home and walked for 1 hour and 45 minutes.... Lori
Today, I ate and exercised good! I drunk four bottles of water today and three servings of fruit! I treated myself with peach cobbler today because i had plenty of calories to have it. I had grilled chicken breast and broccoli for lunch, so why not a simple, measured dessert. This weekend I think I may take off Saturday, cuz still I have not taken a day off from working out. I feel like I'm cheating myself or I'm just plain addicted to exercising now. Its a good way to clear the brain! Have a good weekend! And I love working out with a budddy or friend; it makes the time flyyy by! -Shamonica-
