I've been bad lately. Every meal was my "last meal" because I was going to "start tomorrow." Now, even my "bad" isn't as bad as bad used to be before I lost weight, but it's not good! So today (so far) I've been totally back on track, and it's not that hard! Which makes me wonder why I thought it was that hard before. I was just making excuses. The "diet" food I eat tastes pretty good -- it's just REAL food. Why are veggies so hard to eat? They're good...they're just better if someone else makes them for you!
So what I'm doing is challenging myself to be good for three days. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Then, when the weekend gets here, I might see if I can make it through the weekend. Then, if I make it through the weekend, I might see if I can go all next week! The first person who offers me a donut might lose their hand, but usually the first three days are the hardest. Then the cravings kind of give up and go dormant.
I planned all my meals today, and I filled up my water bottle with ice and ice tea this morning (ice makes anything easier to drink!). Tonight is Wednesday, which is church dinner night, but I'm going to eat something before I go, since the meal is pasta with alfredo sauce!
What are your tips? Do you find it hard to get back on track when you've been "cheating" for a while?
