Forgot to post this morning. I would have said:
Just for today, I will:
1. Journal my food
2. Take a short walk
3. Meditate or take some "me" quiet time for 15-20 minutes
I did manage to track food, although I went over my 1200 calories. But on a good note I went to the gym for the first time this year! Treadmill cardio program for 35 minutes!!! My injuries are getting better obviously. Afterwards I sat in massage chair for 20 minutes and cleared my mind. So...all in all I feel like today was a success even if I did go over my calorie count!0 -
For Friday 4/3...Just for today, I will:
- go to the gym (30 minutes)
- Stay within my calorie goal (1200)
- Bake sweets for Easter and not eat them
Excited to see how this goes...I love baking, but can't seem to avoid "sampling" the items, so I have been avoiding it. Now I have to bake for family and want to try to do so without going over my goal. Need some willpower vibes bad!0 -
Just for today, I will:
Go for a run.
Stay away from sugary sweets
Try to relax!0 -

Your 3rd point is now accomplished indirectly: It's encouraging to others to see you come back and keep plugging away even when it is tough! Hope your discipline goes well today!

Easter Friday - only midday and it is damage linitation from now on.
Big beakfast in a cafe (bacon, egg, sausages, baked beans and chips). Have fancied this for so long but did not enjoy it as much as thought.
Easter egg (mr piggy M&s) half the egg. Sure I have had about 1000 calories already.
Not in a good place in my head, a nervous wreck after my husband idiotic driving - cannot reason with him.
I think I have 300 calories left for the day. Should be feasible if disciplined enough.
Good Easter Friday everyone.0 -

Then thought maybe I could just have 2 as that would be well within calorie limit.
That led to 2 more immediately. Then 4 more 20 mins later.
2 hours later I just sat and ate the rest.
Can't seem to stop when I've started, and every time I think I can control myself I'm proved wrong.
Feel sick and ashamed of myself.
In one fell swoop I've added around 1500 calories to my daily intake and wiped out all the good work I had done this week.
I can only regroup and start again.
Friday's goals:
- tune into stomach
- NO sugar. None.
- push at bootcamp to earn some calories for the evening
- eat well all day and sensible choices when I go out for the evening. ... am going to enjoy some wine
I can SO relate to how you feel. I am the same way. I get going so well, and am doing OK, and think maybe just 1 little dessert, or 1 piece of candy. But I know for me, it just does not work that way. I do believe I am addicted to sugar. Sugar makes me more hungry, makes me want more sugar, and makes it so hard for me to stick with healthy eating. I also am struggling this week. I will have 2 or 3 really good days. Then decide maybe a ice cream cone, or something, and then the damage starts.
But congrats to you for coming back. For not letting 1 bad day lead to 1 bad week, 1 bad month, etc. You are back, and I know you will do great. You are not alone -- I think so many of us have this same problem with sugar! You are doing so great!!0
