Heck yes! 3 weeks down 49 weeks to go! On to things that i have learned this week. Let's see... My dad is evil and finds amusement in eating things in front of me that I can't eat. I have learned that I am stronger then I thought I was, and that I can say no and still be ok. I learned that sugar free flavorings added to vanilla medifast pudding taste pretty good, except the peanut butter one...not so good! I learned that I need to feel successful about the small things and focus on those victories just as much as the big ones. And I learned that cauliflower "mashed potatoes" are a pretty darn good substitute for the real thing.
Today we had a family dinner, because my dad is in town and some family friends are in town. My life coach wants to start up family dinners again to get everyone together at least once a week; good idea if you ask me! I let down my food guard a little bit today and I am paying for it this evening. Nothing too awfully bad, not like bread or anything fried; but I ate more then I am used to eating. I had 2 eggs and 5 sausage links..when really I should have had one egg and 2 sausage links. I couldn't stop myself they tasted too good. That was a time I needed to stop and think about what I was doing instead I just ate...not what I should have done. Then at dinner I had too much turkey, but again it wasn't awful but I just had too much, I wasn't used to it. I should have thought more about it instead of just eating. Right now I am feeling it, lets just say I am paying for it; my stomach is not happy with me in more ways than one. I will remember this feeling I can tell you that much. Again, I didn't do anything awful but I did let my emotions do the eating. I was happy and content and I knew no one was really watching what I was doing. (insert old sneaking habits here). Today was definitely a learning experience.
Overall I am pretty happy with myself, and I know what to do for next time. It is ok to eat. We need to eat to survive, but I don't need to eat to be happy, or content etc. I am not going to somehow miss out on something if I don't eat until I am stuffed. The turkey we had tonight is not the only turkey I am ever going to have, so it is ok to eat just a little. We WILL have it again, dont worry Angela!
Score for today: Angela: 4 Food: 1
Tomorrow is another day, and I will not look back on today and beat myself up for it. I will learn from it and move on. I look forward to tomorrow! Bring on week 4......
Love Angela
