So, after almost 2 weeks of what seemed to be nothing more than good ol' self sabotage, I think I figured out why I started to veer off the Primal track. Reason number 1 I believe is stress, a few too many things going on all at once and I seem to be eating my stress with any carb and sugar item I can get my hands on. #2 is that I stopped checking in to this support group and marksdailyapple.com, it's funny how daily exposure to something will keep you thinking about it and on track (the basic idea behind MFP even). Reason #3 is what I believe to be an issue that a lot of people experience when changing their diet and cutting out certain items, when a ways into the diet and you're doing well and seeing good results, little by little you sneak little bits and pieces of the foods you've chosen not to eat back into your diet. It starts with a cracker here and there when you're hungry and looking for a primal snack, then it goes to pizza on a night when you're too tired to cook, and then you're still losing every week so what's the harm in a starchy or sugary treat once in a while (and soon becomes every day), and then ends in a semi-primal breakfast and a complete bust the rest of the day. Fun enough, I gained last week for the first time in 2 months! I have also been spending a fairly significant amount of time on pinterest, and more and more in the food section pinning delicious looking desserts and carb laden foods, no wonder my cravings are off the charts! So I vowed today to only pin primal recipes from now on, and even created a seperate area for them so I'm not distracted by any of the others. I also spent about 1/2 an hour on marksdailyapple.com and strangely jumped up and went for a run! surround yourself with the things you want in life and soon enough it starts to become reality for you! I'm hoping that my enthusiasm lasts longer than tonight, and i plan on starting my Labor day morning with a healthy primal breakfast and an 'apple'
