This is a rough week. I feel like all I want to do is eat and eat and eat. Been reaching for mostly healthy food, but Ithink the holidays season has a lot to do with it. Today I even considered buying a whole bunch of junk food. But knew I couldn't have it in my house or I'd eat it all! So I didn't but for a few minutes I was faced with the fact that I really just wanted to say the heck with all this eating right and working out and be lazy. As a result, I made sure I stayed more on track the rest of the day, because I am not going to reset all my hard work for one moment of wanting to be lazy again. I may be nuts, but surely other people get those moment when you are just like I don't want to do this anymore (even if it's a short 5mins). Well I guess the point is I passed that 5mins today and stayed on track, which is maybe sad to say but this is really the first time I've done that.0 -
Good for you Mommashelli! take it from me....once you go there it is really hard to not go off track again....and again :frown: I used to be so good!!!
