last night, after eating my 1300 cals for the day, I really, REALLY wanted some ice cream. I thought to myself, just a little taste won't be that bad... went to the kitchen, opened the freezer the freezer, and went--WHAT AM I DOING?!
shasha12 - way to go to just saying no!
I am using gum to help - after I crack, pop and chew to my jaw is sore - it gives me time to rethink my decision.
Tonight I said no to the cookies that were just begging to be baked, and then eaten, by me. I was just looking for comfort and I know this is just one of my (old) bad habits. I was able to say no, eat an orange instead, and move on.
My son didn't like the frozen tacquitos he was having for lunch. So he left four big, fat, juicy, salty ones on his plate. Oh, I wanted them so bad. Even though I didn't 'like' them that much, either. But I quickly, QUICKLY shoved them down the garbage disposal before I caved. That was close!
Yesterday I was really ticked off at something my dear, sweet, wonderful husband did. I sent him out to go see some friends and once I was alone I really felt like hitting the snacks. Luckily I refuse to have any around the house! The most I could come up with was 2% fat cheddar cheese with celery sticks.
And also luckily I had planned out my menu for the day so I pretty much stuck to that. That was quite an accomplishment for me - to have fish and veggies, yogurt and nuts, one square of dark chocolate... instead spiraling down the evil snack path.
Personally I think that's fine if you weren't eating because you were just plain not hungry from eating so much yesterday, but please don't think you need to punish yourself by restricting so much after a binge! Just pick up right where you left off and everything will be fine.
