I'm a little sad today because I ate too much food. I was tracking, then didn't want to track and then I did want to track again.... the result was about XXX calories over for the day too many.
Now, I know from OA to change the things I can and accept the things I cannot change. In this situation I cannot change what is done. I can change my attitude towards it and not allow it to derail me for the rest of my life. I am doing the math because it is helpful. XXX calories over a week means that I will still lose a significant fraction of the weight I intended to lose.
I edited out the numbers because, I know we can get hung up on the numbers. For me, the numbers are giving hope today but I also know they can become my new obsession. So I don't want to harp on the actual numbers after they gave me the sobering truth of my actions today.
I am going to make a living amends to my body and my mind by drawing a line under this day and starting with a fresh moment right now. I will also try to add in spiritual time tomorrow (which I had let slide too long) and do the physcal exercise I have been prescribed by my physiotherapist.
That is little enough to commit to without overwhelming myself. Small steps. One day at a time.
