Yes, I did overeat again last night: the stuff that is on the diet plan, but nonetheless more calories than I needed.
I did go for a walk today, and will probably go for another tonight, so I can start getting back on that path of feeling good about myself.
Ok, venting felt good. Now I want to go to another subject: planning or doing.
I sometimes wonder when I go on these diets, if I am simply caught up in the list making aspect rather than the carry through. For example: I listed all my sodium, sugar, fats, etc. instead of trusting the diet plan, which has worked in the past. I find that when I am listing things I should do and plan to do, I end up not doing them. It is like a never ending grocery list and the store just keeps getting bigger, and more overwhelming. Next step: start doing. Was that a listed item?
Heavy...
I have been watching this A&E series about morbidly obese people. Although I am not to that point, I can relate to their love of food and reasons for eating it. I have learned quite a bit from watching these stories. For instance, I always seem to make excuses for why I can't exert myself more physically. The trainers on this show have these people doing very strenuous routines. It is amazing how far the body, even a heavy body can be pushed, and I don't have the diabetes or high blood pressure that these people have. It really does give me inspiration to push myself more, with no more excuses for why I can't do something.
I really think this blog thing is keeping me honest. I believe in the past I have always been able to just shove things under the rug. I am now holding myself accountable for every decision I make--good or bad.
