I have to admit, this week hasn’t been all that bad! Once the initial couple of days of detoxing off of sweets I was ‘okay.’ Seeing sweets didn’t turn me on anymore. The only hard time I had was yesterday when I was at a mall and everyone was walking around eating Sees chocolates and smelling Mrs. Fields Cookies baking.
I definitely have a super weakness for those two. I have fond memories circled around those two things. When I was growing up my mom and I would always make homemade chocolate chip cookies and snack on the dough. There is something comforting about doing this and eating the cookies that I have a hard time saying ‘no’ to. The same with Sees chocolates, I grew up eating them with my family and getting them as gifts for every holiday.
I am still drinking (diet) soda, but once I am resettled back in California I plan on getting it out of my diet for the most part. Besides being very good with the sweets, I have also been very good about staying away from bread. It isn’t completely out of my diet, and probably never will, but I have cut it mainly out.
Tomorrow I fly back to New York to finish packing up my room. Traveling is my hardest when it comes to eating bad things. Sitting on a plane for hours makes me want to snack like crazy. I have to keep telling myself, “I think I can, I think I can!”
This picture is in honor of this weeks accomplishments and to remind me of what I need to keep up. STOP, Look, and Listen=Stop before I eat something, Look at what I am stuffing in my body, and Listen to the rational/educated part of my brain that will tell me if what I am eating is a good life choice!
Good luck to anyone who is embarking on a change in lifestyle!
