So in the book Why Your Last Diet Failed You by Charlie Hills, he talks about his Day One. He's had MANY Day One's in his life.
You know. When you eat a ton over the weekend and then feel disgusted so you wake up saying,
"This is it! I'm going to do it!"
Then often in a few week, old habits return and pretty soon it's time for a new "Day One".
I am so sick of Day One's. I keep saying the same things over and over. I KNOW how to succeed. I've DONE it before. Yet, I JUST DON'T DO IT! It's driving me crazy.
Here it is 11 pm and I am STILL full from the enormous dinner I ate today. I so didn't want to eat out. I can't afford it and I KNEW I would eat way too many calories.
It's depressing and disheartening.
Tomorrow starts school for my kids. I homeschool all 3 kids so between that, and daycare, it will be busy. Incredibly busy. I can only hope I'm so busy that I don't have time to eat junk that I shouldn't have.
I have a plan. I just need to stick to the plan.
Tomorrow is yet again, Day One.
My personal record of my weight loss journey. My goal is to post daily, weigh in monthly and hopefully see some results!
Debbi, it doesn't matter what day it is. Just do your best to make it a good day, foodwise. At the end of the day you want to look back and say, "I did well today with my eating." You may not have been perfect, but if you are at or under your calorie target, then it was a good day. And it's even better if you did your exercise.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if you will be very busy this week, so we know you will be moving your body, at least.
