Topic: Venting about my mini binge yesterday......

Well yesterday was not a good eating day for me. I have a hard time resisting FREE food at work, even if not healthy for me. And I really hate it if the food was not worth the mini binge I had. At work they had free breakfast and lunch Thursday and Friday. Thursday I was fine and then Friday they had one of my favorites and I gave in. I had the 2 donuts for breakfast and I was not able to turn down the pizza at lunch. I did not stop there and the day just sort of spiraled into a graze every 2 hours on junk. So my binge amounted to 2 pound this morning on the scale. I will have that off by Monday or Tuesday. You know how it goes. One day to put it on and 3 or more days to take it off.

It is hard for me to get out of the mentality of 1 or 2 screw ups does not have to mean the whole day is blown. I am getting better at it but yesterday I was truly out of control. I knew yesterday the pizza and donuts would start me off on a binge. Especially the pizza. AND THE SAD PART IT WAS NOT THE GOOD PIZZA. Meaning the good Chicago Pizza!! It was cheap pizza you could get any where. I know I am bad but if I am going to have a bad day I always say let it be worth it. Any way enough on yesterday. I am letting it go right now.

Today I am feeling better and letting go of yesterday's bump in the road. I just planned my meals for today and I am going to health club to have a nice long work out at my leisure. That is the beauty of working out on Saturday evening. No wait for machines, nice and quiet, nobody chatting, etc. I love working out on Saturday evenings when I have the chance to do so.

Thanks in advance for your support. Just needed to reflect on yesterday this morning before I get up and about. I just gave you the jest but I can't dwell on forever because today is a new day and I will never be perfect but I have to make sure I do not have too many bad days because they will sabotage my goals.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Topic: Keep head hunger in perspective.

Keep head hunger in perspective.

Is your mind convinced it needs chocolate, chips, fries, ice cream, or some other comfort food? Of course, you know you don't really need those foods. You can look at your "head hunger" as a psychological call for comfort. Maybe you are feeling depressed, anxious, or bored. Do you want to cover up or soothe your feelings with food? How else can you cope with your uncomfortable feelings?

When hunger takes hold, keep your mind distracted from food and your hands busy. In your journal, write down what you want to accomplish as a thinner and healthier person and the type of life you want to live. Then, use your vision of the new you to put your head hunger in the proper perspective. You don't have to let head hunger rule your behavior.

Action for today: Make a list of five activities that can be alternatives to stress eating. When the next urge to graze comes along, you'll be prepared.

Motivational Quote - The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.

If a sport’s team did not have the dedication and will to prepare for games and practice to continuously improve, they wouldn’t have a chance. We can use this same thinking toward everyday life. If we do not spend the necessary time developing our foundation, we will never be able to reap the benefits of having a life of purpose. Creating a foundation is one of the core principles of the SparkPeople System for this reason. It is so important to start small and slowly move in the right direction, rather than start huge, fail, and give up.

Thanks! Wonderful reminder.
