I need some serious support with will power. I have compared my will power lately to the sturdiness of a willow tree branch. Particularly with food - I have been eating too much and with a frenzy-like consistency. For example, within a 3 hour time frame just Sunday, while at my sister's house (she was not home-I was washing sheets for her) I ate (embarrassed) 3/4 bag of M&M White peppermint candies, a full bag of extra buttered microwave popcorn, 4 peppermint nougats, a packet of sweettart ropes, 2 handfuls of lightly salted almonds, 3 popsicles, and 1 fudgesicle, and drank 1 liter of ginger ale AND 5 carrots. I literally brought the carrots over saying to hubby, that before I ate crap that I was going to eat the carrots first. Truth: I ate the carrots last. Felt TERRIBLE. Should not have eaten anything for the next 5 days, but ate a bit of supper (venison loin) around 9:30pm. Wasn't hungry, just wanted it, and just ate it. Woke up this morning absolutely not hungry. Worked out and then ate a regular person's breakfast - cereal with fruit. Drank 32 fl oz water. Drove to work and then as soon as I walked into the office, I wanted to start munching. WTH????
Today I "packed" my lunch even though I am working from home. This is what I can have. No more. Great snack/dessert - blend a frozen banana, serving of chocolate protein powder, and 8oz of unsweetened almond milk. Drink 1/2 of it, and put the other 1/2 into a freezer safe container and put in freezer for 4 hours. Then later in the day, you can have a good-for-you frozen treat!
BTW, all the crap mentioned above? Yeah, talk about a belly ache for now the 2nd day. It was well deserved and is reminding me why I shouldn't do things like that to myself. #bellyache
