FREEDOM!
Yes it’s over! IT’S OVER! I feel so light and happy!
How did the test go? TERRIBLE- that test was insanity and by the end I was so disgusted I just handed over my test and left. I actually left a page blank! I had a 95% going in so I am sure I’ll get a B which is fine with me.
I won’t lie- after class my sister got Taco Bell again and I had another grilled stuffed burrito- I’m sorry I like Taco Bell! But that’s okay, today gonna make a good dinner and for lunch I’m going to get a salad from el pollo loco- who knows maybe I’ll splurge and drive up to Rubios! I like their salad as well and it’s like 570 calories (no I’m NOT counting calories lol). Just cuz I happen to know calories of items doesn’t mean I’m counting OVERALL!
Which leads me to say this, we aren’t perfect, we crave things that aren’t always good for us, but we need to stop saying we are disgusted with ourselves! We aren’t disgusting! We are human! We get cravings, we like things that give us pleasure, and so on. Heck the French make eating a pleasurable experience- it’s OKAY to like food! It’s okay to go off plan once in a while and go over your carbs one day or go over calories one day, as long as it’s not a daily thing and you continue to work hard and exercise than you will be fine! Don’t ever say you are disgusted with yourself cuz all it does it bring you down. Next time you eat something you shouldn’t tell yourself “Self, hey, we went over our calories/carbs/whatever, but hey that’s okay, the rest of the day we’ll be good, and tomorrow? Well tomorrow we’ll be back on track!”
And yes I talk to myself! :p
Omg I love Taco Bell, too. I was thinking about having it for lunch tomorrow!
I think you are right about making eating a pleasurable experience. I mean let’s face it, I love food, otherwise I wouldn’t be in this situation! Along those lines, a lesson I keep having to learn is to measure success in ways other than the number on the scale.
You are the cutest thing ever! I agree… positive self talk (yes, I talk to myself, too) helps a lot. Who even wants to eat perfect ALL the time? Sheesh!
Yay for school being over!
YAY for you for finishing your final!! I just love that weight-off-the-shoulders feeling!!
I do love food - and I was just commenting yesterday that I have a way different outlook on food now than I used to. Used to be I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and I kinda took food for granted. NOW I love to eat and I appreciate every moment, every morsel, every tidbit, every bite, every texture, every nuance of flavor. I immerse myself into the experience and really truly enjoy food - instead of scarfing it down like it’s gonna disappear somehow.
So yeah it’s okay to still love food. =D The french are known for truly appreciating food - and so should we. Oh, and I don’t appreciate the flavor of something ANY more when I have 30 bites of something instead of just 1 or 2.
Yes! The sweet taste of FREEDOM! (and it’s non-fattening!)
