What is up with me not controling my munching in the evening!
I gotta stop..cheesh. I worked out tho... I'll get it eventually! :X
At least I measured..right? RRR.
oh by the way..the negative self talk is coming back and it is saying"why can't you do anything right?"

I definitely feel the winds of change blowing now.. I've gotten back to working out every day(no matter if it is a short amount of time I have) and even though I ate low fat BROWNIES(made with low sugar devils food cake and a can of pumpkin, one egg white) for dinner last night, I told that voice in my head that said, "well that's not on the diet plan..you might as well eat this and this, etc" to TAKE A HIKE!! I 'm not hungry anymore! So what if it wasn't a healthy dinner. I don't do so daily, and this time I stopped when I was full, and stayed out of the kitchen thereafter!
I can tell I am getting back on track because in spite of not-so-great choices, I didn't blow it or eat until I felt stuffed. I hate that feeling and want to avoid it like the plague!!
The scale was down a little today so that's good..wasn't much but I'll take it. As I work back up to where I was fitness-wise, I'll HAVE to up the nutrition to have adequate energy! I have confidence I can do this, no more spikes on the chart from crazy high calorie days.
I am going to work on cutting the negative self-talk. It is the root of my downfall many times! I have come a long way and though I have been stuck for a while, I'm far from where I started and shouldn't beat myself up so much. I won't allow myself to balloon up again like I did before.
I know what to do and I will do it!
Hopefull this attitude will stick with me today..dn't ya hate it when ya start out the day right and it slowly deteriorates as the stress of the day wears on? I will do my best. Everyone have a good day, ok? :) Chat later!

I feel positive this morning. I got a bit of a drop even though I munched out on some chex mix and popcorn last night. I'm glad I stopped eating before i felt full. I usually finish the whole portion I served myself, but i have been paying more attention to whether I have had enough or not, and it is helping a lot! I don't like feeling too full, something that has been happening way too much lately.
You know what I need? A full length mirror! The one I had before stayed in the old house, and now the only mirror I have is the bathroom one. SOmetimes I imagine I am much fatter than I actually am, and guess what those feelings lead to? Yeah you guessed it, overeating! Makes no sense but that's what happens.
When I feel fat, I avoid mirrors. My imagination adds at least 10 pounds on a bad day! I used to stand in front of a mirror(don't laugh!) and lift weights or do other strenght exercises, or even dance. I liked seeing my muscles being worked and it made me feel more confident, maybe even sexy.
I haven't been feeling sexy ever since we moved( and I started eating for comfort on a daily basis) and a certain someone is dfinitely noticing. I need to work on that..
I think we might be going out to dinner tonight, but I'm not going to stress about what I'm going to eat all day. I'll just use caution and try to do the best I can, and not go to either extreme; eating everything I shouldn't, or drinking diet soda and eating a tiny salad(and then eating everything in the house when I get home!)
I don't know when I'll get a chance to work out today, but I defnitely want to. I've got my lunch and snack planned ahead of time and now I plan to NOT think about food until I am actually hungry again. I think it will be a good day today. Hope ya'll have a good one too! Chat later!
