Yay!! I made past last night with all the terrible temptations of eating more of that cake and ice cream/brownies!
I kept feeling like I was right ready to just go ahead and get the ice cream/brownies or cake, just knew I was going to give into it, had thoughts of justification, thinking the all or nothing thing, like well I already have been having 3 treat days for the past 2 weekends might as well do it again this weekend after all I've only had 1 treat day this weekend so far so 2 is not as bad as last weekend! Kept trying to find a loophole somewhere, like maybe I won't gain if I do this regularly!
In between those thoughts, I kept gently reminding myself of how I would feel this morning if I gave in and if it would be worth it or not. Kept reminding myself of times in my past when I got out of control with this and then my pants all of the sudden begin to feel snug and then I get disappointed and depressed with myself.
I know this might sound like a very superficial and trivial thing compared to bigger things in life, but how I look at it is this; if I allow myself to be out of control and undisciplined in this area it usually carries on over into other bigger areas of my life, like with the fear/insecurity thing. If I don't stay disciplined with this then I start to get lax in other areas.
