RE: thirtydayfitness - Day 19 & 20 - That wagon was getting a bit unsteady
don't sweat the wagon. There is always another one to climb back onto.
i too fell off the other day and ate a whole big block of chocolate (in my room by myself so my wife wouldn't find out). I'vegiven up sugar, so that's pretty much off the wagon as well.
Now I can feel the world's largest zit forming on my chin (it is going to be epic) and I have a really important business meeting tomorrow. Oh, the wages of sin.....
Sigh...
The thing is I didn't really enjoy it as much as I used to. I enjoyed the apple I had during my run last night more. So i don't think I'll be buying chocolate again for quite sometime.
And so that is part of the key to the binges. Use the eating technique you are using for your dinners, really tasting them. Do the treats taste as good as you think they do, or are they actually not that good, but it is your memory of them being good that drives you?
You might find that actually, they taste shite. And you'd much rather have something else.
So don't feel like you've failed for falling off the wagon. We all do it. The trick is getting back on again and carrying on without beating yourself up over it.
You are so right, there is always another wagon to climb!
I hope your wife isn't on Steemit, your secret might be out ;-) Whatever you do, don't squeeze that zit, you'll only make it worse.
I am trying to keep the mindful eating going and it is definitely making a
difference.
I'm trying to get back on as quick as possible and minimise the damage.
Hope you are having a good day /evening
