It was certainly a much better day than it has been lately, thankfully. It's much easier for me to stick to my diet regimen when I'm not completely stressed. This morning I had a plain wheat bagel; no butter;no nothing on it with coffee. I went without both of my snacks so that I could enjoy that and a hamburger for dinner. Lunch was a Smart Ones Mac and Cheese and a plumb.
There is a party every day this week at work; between the birthdays and the co worker leaving to have her baby. It's a difficult task but so far I'm holding strong. I was talking to one of my fellow workers about the diet and the blog. She is coming on to have a look and I think that's just great.
Later she walked by me with a plate heaped with junk food from the party. When she saw me her facial expression changed drastically. I smiled at her. I recognised it because I've worn the look myself so many times in my life for the same reason. She felt odd about having just finished the diet conversation and then eating all of the junk. Guilt.
That's not what I want. That's not who I am. I'm not here to make anyone; not even myself feel guilty. It has absolutely no purpose in bringing us closer to our goal. I encourage you to try but I'm still 100% behind you if you don't succeed right out of the gate. I have tried and failed and tried and failed more times than I can count. It happens to the best of us.
To quote an XBFF "the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions." In that scenario XBFF was hell and my kind; loving and caring friendship was the path. I jumped off. XBFF was not worth it but was right about the statement I have to admit. I'm much happier.
In this case the junk food is the hell; guilt, stress and any kind of emotional upheaval is the path to it. Let's jump the heck off! If at first you don't succeed try try again. Get off the path. Figure out a better plan and go to a better place. Easier said than done I know, to use another cliche. But give it your best. Sometimes your best is there tomorrow. No need to feel guilt. Don't we have enough stress? I mean the name of the Blog is "KEEP FIGHTING fatty" for a reason. Isn't that actually the answer too; plain and simple? We have to keep trying until we achieve our goal.
On that note I'm going to sign off and jump in the shower. Remember: You look as good as you can for today. Tomorrow you will be that much better. Do not let your perception of your body stand in the way of you having fun. Stay positive...were ALL in the same boat...let's do it together. See you tomorrow. ;-)
