I've been failing. I guess that's ok. Part of the process I think. But unlike the last time when, whenever I did poorly I just didn't enter the food, and then inevitably gave up, I have been forcing myself to put it all in.
The only thing I've been grateful of is that I still managed to stay under the total amount of calories I've burned. It's a small thing, but small victories win wars or something... I dunno, maybe I made that up. I probably did.
A problem I know I'm having: I eat when I'm bored. Not all the time, but a lot of the time, when I'm not feeling especially stimulated, I guess, I go try and find something to eat.
And if there's something to eat nearby, I'll just munch and munch and munch. Munching is my biggest enemy.
I do best when I have a meal plan for the week. I don't always follow it, sometimes I don't want to cook at the end of the day, or I'm not in the mood for the thing I planned to make. But I follow it pretty well.
I also do well when I take my own food to work/school, since all that's really around me is fast food and chain restaurants.
I have to remind myself of how much better I feel when I don't go over my calories, even when I eat under the amount. I do feel better, physically I feel the same, but mentally I feel better.
I do also have to remind myself that physically I DO feel better when I don't go over.
Going over is a strange mental state. For me, at least, when I go over it just spirals, like "Well I already went over, fuck it."
Gotta get over that. But I also can't beat myself up for the set back. It happened, and just let that go because tomorrow's a new day, and I can do better then!
