May 14th - weigh in today was awesome!! I'm down to 186.5. That's 10 pounds from May 1st but most importantly the fat amount and fat %s are all down. I felt awesome so I immediately went and did a bad thing.
Isn't it amazing how us humans work! At first I said it was only one meal. No big deal. Then it changed to it's only one day! I'll start again tomorrow. Meanwhile the voices in my head are going "you idiot"! All that hard work and progress and you're doing this now!!!!
So yes, I fell off and had two bad days. I'm not proud but I am human and have come to realize that I need to cut myself some slack. The good news is that this time around I stopped!!!! YAY!!! I didn't let two bad days become another week or month or year. I acknowledge and accept that what I did was not ideal, I have stopped and now getting myself focused again.
This was not just a lesson in eating something that I wasn't supposed to. For me this was bigger. Clearly I have no self control. The handful of cherries i was supposed to eat turned into the bag... along with the box of icecream. So now I know that I'm not yet ready to give a little. I need to get a plan in place to help build and reinforce self control. Not sure about anyone else (I could be way off in left field) but clearly a huge part of this making a better me has to also involve practicing self control. How to have a piece of something you enjoy and walk away. Something I will focus on in a few weeks.
Be awesome people and hope everyone is moving ahead bit by bit and step by step.
