I don't post very often, but am on here daily reading through the post. It has helped me embrace my health eating for the last 8 weeks. Yesterday was not a good "healthy eating" day though. I don't know what caused me to stray from my plan, but what did scare me a little was how easily I jumped right back into my old habits. I had fast food...twice yesterday. I haven't even given fast food a though for weeks now, but yesterday it seemed like I never made any changes to my eating habits. Last night I was grocery shopping...all healthy food, except one thing. A bag of chocolate covered dried cherries (one of my favorites). I ate half the bag last night.
I'm not beating myself up over it, I went back to my healthy eating today with no temptations to stray from my plan again, but I am still thinking about how seamlessly I slid back into my old ways. After eight weeks, I though I would at least try to talk myself out of things like fast food or candy, but I didn't. I just bought it and ate it like things had never changed. This is what has always ruined my plan in the past, but it's usually after 3-4 weeks, I thought after at least 8 I would at least show some resistance. I guess I will have to be a little more diligent about not letting my guard down.
