I have had a long, long weight-loss journey with many detours along the way. It is incredible how things can be going so well and all of a sudden it feels like you have been hit by a huge truck. You stop dead on your heals. Which way do you go? Do you stay on your diet? Do you cheat? Why are you feeling this way? Will eating things off of your plan make you feel better? NO!
Today, I had a day like that. My day started with 3 hours worth of errands on an empty stomach. One of these errands was going to the grocery store. I should’ve known that that was not a great idea.
While at the store all of the foods that I should not have, were “talking” to me. Buy me! Just have one chocolate bar, how bad can that be? I resisted the temptation! I drank a bottle of water and finished my shopping.
I came home and put away the refridgerator type foods and made myself a good Weight Watcher snack. I drank some more tea and then in a while I made myself lunch.
I avoided falling off my program. I felt great. I was in control. I am getting better. Thank God! I just called my friend Alma and at 7:30 PM, we are going for a walk. I will reach my goal of 199 pounds.
I used my timer all day to resist eating too fast. I thought about each healthful bite. I made it one more day.
