Reflections: It felt really good when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a noticible difference over the past two days. When I eat the way I know I need to eat I see results. It really is that simple. Why then, is it, that before 9:30 this morning I had grabbed a handful of m&ms and a couple of cookies? I ate them thinking, “what are you doing? you know better than this!” But, I ate them anyway. It was a struggle for me to recover after that and to be good for the rest of the day. Oftentimes when I lapse like that I adopt a “what the heck, I’ve already been bad today so I might as well indulge, I can be good tomorrow” attitude. However, I wanted to avoid that today. I knew that I’d be writing about my lapse and my (hoped for) recovery here and I found that helped keep me accountable. Hopefully, in coming days I’ll let that accountability stop me from indulging in silly frivolous sugars in the first place. I’ll be interested to see what the scale says tomorrow…
