I gained a bit of weight over the holidays, but fortunately I'm back on plan! I just got from the gym as a matter of fact, and while I was there I reflected on why and how I gained those extra 5 pounds.
I know part of it was from 'sneaking food'. I live with my boyfriend, and we mutually respect each other as equals in our relationship. But for some reason, when he was outside for a smoke I would sneak food. I've eaten almost a WHOLE box of Christmas cakes within 10 minutes, and hid the evidence by stuffing the wrappers in my purse (for fear of him seeing them in the trash). I'd feel sick, and a bit ridulous for hiding something like that from my boyfriend, as if I'd get in trouble.
I think that habbit definitely stemmed from living with my parents, since they'd shame me for things like that. My sisters and I would be called "^%&*ing pigs!", and as awful as it was, I know they meant well and just didn't understand why not only I, but at least 1 of my sisters, would do that. I don't even really understand it.
Another reason was from stuffing myself during Christmas and New Years. I guess it was almost inevtiable that I'd have some kind of treat, such as a cookie, or even a piece of pie. But once I start, I DON'T STOP. I felt like I might as well have kept eating and enjoyed myself, because I already blew it! So I completely chomped down on everything in sight.
These are two habbits I'm saying goodbye to in 2012!
I'm kind of curious if anyone else does these things? I'm sure the latter habbit it quite common, but does anyone else sneak food? What measures do you take to prevent it from happening?
