6 more pounds's Journal, 28 January 2016

Yesterday I had a good workout and walked an extra mile on the treadmill, which was gratifying. I stuck with my same old foods because I'm afraid if I break the mold, I'll fall off the wagon again with bad foods.

Yesterday was Day 3 of my program and I had some food cravings last night. I ignored them and watched reruns of the "The Closer" instead. Tried to drink water, which was not satisfying. On the other hand, the way I got here is by always eating whatever I wanted, even in the evenings after dinner when I wasn't hungry. So really, it's self punishment that's getting me through this week, not self control. Not sure that's the healthiest psychological path, but maybe I will gradually pick up some good habits along the way and forgive myself in the process, too. (Somehow it's much easier to forgive myself when my pants fit.)
