Our First Fight

It didn't take long. Yesterday evening I started to feel my body revolting against my brain. That itchy hungry feeling. Today at 11:50AM it is doing it again. Lunch is coming but I'm trying to put it off just a little bit longer. The water helped for a while, but it is like my body can't wait until it is officially lunch. Like it is purposefully throwing a tantrum and I'm supposed to cave to it's response. I planned a healthy day today and I'm sticking to it.

These are the terms of our new relationship. I eat and live a healthy life, my body deals with it and starts using up the 93lbs of extra storage it has been diligently stocking. That is the deal, sure there will be comprimises along the way, but not today. This is my honeymoon and I'm going to enjoy every second of it. I'm also going to enjoy the added bonus of the extra weight off on the scale at the end of the week. Cause the first time is always the best!

The itchy hungry feeling is actually very eye opening. I'm realizing that my "healthy snacks" added up over time. I thought a cracker with some cheese was a good thing, of course I couldn't just eat one usually you would eat 3 or 4. That is a lot of points. This little tingle feeling is often helped with a cracker or a granola bar or a cookie. Those cost points. I'm not wasting points today! At home I have a great chocolate SmartOne cake and I'm eating that with my after dinner tea tonight. That is four points and it is going to be the best 4 points of my day!

There is more than enough temptation in the office. The box of cookies that arrives with the groceries every Monday. The granola bars. The pretzles or whatever other food and snacks is lying around here. My brain doesn't have the energy to count the points of each indulgence, so why bother. Skip the snack, go back to your desk, drink your water and look forward to a lovely evening with your chocolate cake!

Mmmmm!
