Hello again!!! Let me tell you I have had some crazy and intense cravings today!!! I feel like I just want to eat everything under the sun!! I haven't had an all out binge in fact far from it and that I'm very proud of but I have grazed a bit picking here and there. This afternoon I was wanting chocolate so instead of buying a bag of Hersey's Kisses.........mmmm my *fav*...I settled for a 100 calorie chocolate bar and it actually satisfied the craving for a while....but tonight I've been going crazy again having to reason with myself the reason's why I don't want to go all out!!!
There are several reasons why:
1. I have worked SO hard at the gym as well as with my eating that I don't want to blow it on a binge
2. I don't want to feel the regret and self defeat that usually follows a binge
3. I realize that I am still in a very *fragile* time during my weight loss journey and that I am learning to understand the emotional processes that influence my eating habits I have created for comfort (I think losing all my pics is a very possible trigger today....I was and still am really disappointed even though there is nothing I can do now :( ...)
4. I want to feel accomplished and proud of myself for going through the motions and learning to avoid such*false* need!! Tomorrow and even right now I am proud of myself for not giving in
5. I think this is perhaps one of the most important recognitions: I am not denying myself a treat of something I really want ( I am learning that balance) But I KNOW that there isn't a single item I would like to treat myself...I just want to have "my cake and eat it too"!!!
6. I am learning to LOVE myself...and this is all part of it!!! I am human!!
true, learn to love yourself. Everyone deserve it.
