Drum Rolls Please

Today was my normal monday weigh in—- Ok I was hoping to be 189lbs. But the scale read 191lbs. Am I disappointed? Yes. No. In-between. I really want to be out of the 190s. Yet I also know TOM is raring her ugly head. I am so bloated!!! So water weight. I guess I should be happy to be 191lbs bloated like a balloon.
I came home and I was absolutely ravenous. I could have eaten a cow (had it been in front of me). Mind you, Im a vegetarian!!!! LOL. All these thoughts started clouding my mind. “you havent had a cheat day in a LONG time”… “TOM is on its way you have a excuse, your body needs sugar”… “Im just going to go get a chocolate bar and maybe a slice of pizza, you wont gain weight— its only ONE day”. Yep, I know I was ready to throw my shoes on and head off. I had perfect reasons and explanations. BUT I said to myself… thinking it through (which I didnt use to do). You probably wont gain weight… but you also wont LOSE weight. How will you feel after your binging on garbage is over? You will feel heavy & even more bloated. Do you WANT to feel that way? So, I convinced myself my rational over the first voice (satan im sure- the great deciever) was right. Instead, I indulged on healthy nutricious snacks which I enjoyed. I am stuffed. But I am happily stuffed knowing I made a wise healthy decision. Heres what I opted for:

- coffee mostly with 2% milk and 3 tbsp cream (I love light coffee) and stevia
-half a apple in thin slices with homemade peanut butter and a drizzle of honey on top.
- 1 serving of almonds
- an orange
Now granted this is more than I typicaly would eat in one sitting. But like I said I was ravenous. The other option was tons more calories and really unhealthy foods. Which are ultimately hazardous to my health. Victory. such a small sweet victory. Thank you God. Its through your strength!
