I would like to get to 299 by the end of July, before I go on vacation. It will give me good incentive to stick to my food plan because I don't want to ever go into 300 ever again.
It will be hard work. I had a mini binge last night, but it could have been way worse. I went to Boston Market for dinner. Just ate white meat chicken, saved the side salads for today (I got 2 salads instead of the hi carb options) and then I found the dreaded yummy delicious corn bread.
Well, I stared at that thing. I ate the ends off. Then I started imagining going through the drive through and getting a 6 pack. My hands shook. I swallowed and there was a lump there.
NO NO NO
Step away from the corn bread.
I threw it out the window where a happy bunch of seagulls swooped down and gobbled it up.
Whew, that was a close one.
Later I still didn't do great. I ate a bunch of cheese and a few tablespoons of peanut butter. I know if I had switched to being mindful and done a mindfulness exercise I could have avoided it.
But I gotta be honest. It is like being addicted to drugs. This food gives me a relief from anxiety because I have been binge eating for 30 years. My brain is conditioned for it. It knows when the food comes, the dopamine is released, and ahhhh i feel so much better.
I am being kind to myself about it because you can't fix it in 6 days. I have to keep looking at the big picture.
