Had a pretty successful night. I wound up eating at my house. I had a portion control of spagetti and one meatball. I went out on a date with my boyfriend. He wanted to stop at McDonald's. As he was ordering two double cheeseburgers for himself, I started to become anxious. I think that it's a habitual thing for us to eat together. We usually go to restaurants on dates (fast food, casual dining, upscale restaurants). It felt very unusual for me to sit there and hold a conversation with him while he was eating. I rised above it all, though. I am trying to wean myself off of the fatty fast foods and junk. The sodium is ridiculous in fast food today...I was basically asking myself the following:
1. Am I really hungry? Do I really need to eat something right now from McDonald's?
2. How will I feel after I eat this? Is it really worth it?
Basically, I really wasn't hungry at all. I think that I was more anxious for being in that particular setting. I was nervous that I would go up and order something. It was sort of freaking me out...I just kept my hands closed and tried to relax.
I know how I would feel after eating something there. I would feel guilty especially after I ate something out of habit. It just wasn't worth that feeling so I overcame my nerves.
I actually mentioned something to my boyfriend about this. I told him about everything, about the journey that I was about to embark on, yet again. He is just so incredibly supportive. I love him so much. He basically was about to wrap his burger up and take it to go. I told him that I would be fine, and I had to get used to situations that may be seemingly uncomfortable at first. I told him that I needed the tough love approach...
I guess the point is that fast food and junk becomes very addictive. Keeping your willpower in check can be difficult. Yet, the rewards are just around the corner. Have a wonderful night, everybody! Stay inspired. :)
