Had a good weekend. Went to a gathering on Saturday where there were lots of bad things on the table but I restrained myself and kept it to 3 cookies over the course of the whole day/evening and the rest from the healthy options. Still came in within my calories for the day according to the calorie/exercise tracker I use.
Sunday was reward day. Had rice vermicelli with 2 deep fried spring rolls
and half of a McD's oreo pie for supper. My brain would not shut up about food after that
I had one fortune cookie and kept feeling the urge to dive into a bag of cookies. Instead I logged onto my tracker and saw I was just at the calories for the day. Thankfully that made something click and I stopped craving junk
I ALSO resisted the urge to weigh in this am. It's always kind of a buzz kill and I end up feeling defeated if I weigh in on a Monday because weekends are hardest and when I tend to binge. BUT so far have had two fairly good weekends where the whole weekend didn't turn into a total binge. Wow. This is tough. But I can feel small changes in my attitude about food and in my attitudes and emotions. I've heard it said a million times but I finally appreciate that one of the important things to remember is not to panic when I eat a cookie. Not to see it as a failure and totally binge out, but rather say "ok, that was good, but it was all I needed and I'm in control and will stop here"
Hope all you other chicks had a good weekend and if not, it's okay, it's a fresh new week! HAGD everyone!
Binge free(ish) weekend
