Went from 158 last week to 154.4 this week... [my walking is definitely helping!] and my 'error in judgement' didn't do too much damage...
This is dangerous, though because in the back of my mind it makes me think 'well, I got away with THAT so let's see how far we can push it THIS TIME!' Do you see my logic?
I've just got to concentrate on treating my body with love and respect... THAT'S the key to it all...
I'm going to walk my five miles today... my video kept stopping on me yesterday at the same point each time... I hope it was just a 'fluke' and that it won't do it today when I go through it!
My financial problems being eradicated is on the horizon [coming to an end soon...] so my stress level is much improved...
The key questions to ask myself every time before I eat anything are: Is this bringing me closer to my goal or farther away from it? 1. STOP what you are doing.
2. Count to three.
3. Take three slow, deep breaths.
4. Ask yourself: "What is this interaction about? Why do I feel this way? What is the best way for me to respond? Where are my priorities at this moment?"
5. If you’re feeling so overwhelmed that no immediate answers come to you, make a list of all the things that are making you feel that way
6. Look at each item and carefully decide: What can be tackled right now? What can wait until later?
If, after careful consideration, I make an EDUCATED decision to eat the food in question... then so be it! [Document it both on here, and in my emotions journal, and move on...]
This is going to retrain my brain and stomach and help me to eat only an adequate amount when I am PHYSICALLY hungry... not nervous or stressed...
I'm truly making progress... I can just feel it!
Every small step in the right direction is bringing me closer to my goal in the distance.
I'm finding myself eating a large volume of food still, [and that's not good, because even if it's a good food for me to eat, too much of a good thing can be bad!] That is what I've got to concentrate on this week. [PORTION CONTROL!] My Achilles heel! I must learn to eat more slowly and really listen to my body; let it tell me when I'm satisfied, and to stop eating then; not just finishing what's on my plate because it's there... I've got to learn to throw away food not eaten... I would rather waste it than 'waist it!' LOL
I've got faith in myself! and my abilities to think my way out of these patterns I've been dealing with for so long...I've been eating on 'automatic pilot' for so many years... This is going to make me more aware of each and every bite I eat... my emotions journal is helping me sort it all out... now if I can just maintain control... I'll be fine!
I CAN DO THIS!
WE ALL CAN DO THIS!
One day/one pound/one step at a time... [How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! LOL :)
