A Breakthrough Today After A Rough Couple Of Months

GeauxL

Last couple of months have been rough; I was falling into the cycle of eating healthy & exercising Mon-Fri then gong all “frat boy” on the weekend & eating very unhealthy Sat-Sun. Sat & Sunday began turning into Fri, Sat, Sun then Monday too & so on. It’s like once I ate one thing I knew I shouldn’t have, it was like “Oh well, I already screwed up I’ll just eat what I want & start again tomorrow, Monday, next week, etc.”. Well today I was teetering on blowing my goal for the day by eating some chocolate turtle cookies, which I (normally) knew if I ate one cookie, my day would be blown & I’d just keep eating crap. But I ate the 2 cookies, logged them, & held my ground & didn’t fall off the wagon & binge on everything because I had already blown it by eating cookies. This was a huge breakthrough for me; I allowed myself my craving but stuck to my daily goal of calories & healthy eating. This has been my biggest hurdle with my weight loss journey (I’ve lost 100 lbs & still have 15-20 to go). I can be so strict & good but if I allow myself one craving indulgence, it seems like I can’t reel myself in. Hopefully today is the next step in reaching my goal & learning how to control myself while learning how to balance food choices & not feel guilt or the need to blow my goals. Does anyone else struggle with this?
