kryptonite

Hot summer saturday night....the boys are away fishing, and I'm thinking of something cool, creamy and chocolaty. I nip on down to the dairy, not 2 km from my house and buy 1.5l of ice cream. this stuff is good.

real good

and i had some [a lot]....i'm embarrassed by how my stomach and head hurt now though.

then i remembered i have a mini-goal that was about to fail.
I was going to do 3 nights of stretching this week (before sunday). and I've only done 1. can't stretch on a sore belly. don't want to do something messy in an inverted stretch or anything. so I put down the ice cream and really looked at it. and at me.

is this what i want to be?

eating ice cream when no one else is at home?
thinking of eating the whole thing?

*breathe*

and I don't like that

I put it away. in the deep freeze in the garage. I have to think about this...this kryptonite. it can really bring me down. and not just mentally crippling me in all its tasty goodness.
tomorrow, my belly will bloat from the milk products and the other ingredients that are in ice cream that my body doesn't like very much. I will have gurgles and noises coming from areas that are usually quiet and nice to me. i will be all sluggish an it will take a week to come back from it.

where did my willpower go?

I used to have strong willpower.

When you don't use a muscle, it atrophies. Like my willpower has.

Time for some heavy lifting.

I will forgive myself this, but not forget. never forget. and I won't not forget this with anger at myself, but with resolution to say no.

Time for me to take back control. Starting with this water beside me and some light stretching before bed.


Do you have a kryptonite? how do you conquer it?

    I try to prepare for moments like this. Just recently, I thought about alternatives to favorites. coffee ice cream with chocolate bite? Those new chobani bites (100 calories).
    You are doing so well, don't sweat it. Or maybe just sweat it off: you know you will tomorrow.
