Why does a "high" day have to invariably be followed by a "low" one?? Woke up to find my weight had dropped even further!! It was close to 173 (from 180 or so last week!!).
I did work out this morning, ate a good breakfast, and was supposed to have lunch with a colleague who bailed, and it was too cold to walk far to pick up lunch from the cafe, so I decided to forego it! Ate a couple of fruits, a granola bar, etc...so far so good..but by 5.45 pm I was starving (whose fault is that??!!), and didn't feel like going home to cook and eat healthy. Decided to stop by Alladin's (a middle eastern, relatively healthy eatery), and before I could pull into their parking lot, I get rear-ended by this car that suddenly decided to start backing up--and ignore my lights + loud honking!! So, now, an hour's drama of waiting for the police, going through the report-stuff, etc. later, I was debating whether to still go into Alladin's and pick up dinner (hell, I was already there, so why not?).On the other hand, thought it'd be better to go home--lesson learned--and just eat healthy there. That decided, half way into my drive back, I suddenly change my mind, feel sorry for myself, and decided I needed to indulge and treat myself! So I stopped by for some chinese food, and came home and ate all of it (just one dish--but all that rice, salt, oils, and msg!!)---I know all this good work of the last week is now precariously a wash--and for what? Was this worth it?? I don't know whether I'm feeling horribly guilty, or just shrugging my shoulders and saying "I told you so--this was bound to happen", and thereby feeling hopeless all over again..? I do know that I am uncertain how to undo this damage, and restore my weight-losses....Am I going to be derailed and pushed back further from where I was?? Am I going to right myself from this one poor judgment? And the bigger question, are these food-temptations always going to be so easy to succumb to--boy, these sure do creep up especially when your resistance is down?! Man, you constantly have to be on top of all this!!! If anyone's reading this so far, please advise how do you manage to stay focussed, resist temptations, and when does this become a more natural habit that you don't have to constantly monitor and be careful about???
