Attitude Adjustment

I am starting to feel a little better about myself and my journey today. I’ve hit rough patches before, but nothing quite like this. My willpower has completely disappeared, along with my self-confidence. I have constant cravings for junk, not just off plan foods, but literally junk! Chips, cookies, cakes, candies – you name it, I want it.

Every morning I wake up and tell myself that today I will stay on plan but it seems like something always happens to derail my train. I think I know what it is. I’m fairly certain that I am an emotionally eater; somehow my brain has been cross wired to think that food will make me feel better. I’ve learned that is a complete misconception. I may find temporary relief in that bag of Bugles, but when I get on the scale and the number hasn’t budged – or worse has gone up, then the only thing that snack accomplished was to make me feel worse in the long run. The only one I’m cheating is me, and I deserve better than that.

I have come too far to give up now. I’m not looking for pity or praise, I’m just trying to be honest with myself, and maybe help someone else along the way. I will stop focusing on the negative, and look again at the positives I achieve each day.

Weight loss is just one path on the road of life. If I can safely navigate this road, then I am sure to be able to do anything I set my sights on!

In conclusion, today I have accomplished the following positives –
Took all my supplements
Drank all my water
Choose healthy meals
Took Jasmine for a walk
I left my wallet in the car so that the Evil Vending Machine of Doom could not entice me to plunking my change into its maw.
