I’ve been trying to take control once I slip-up, not let it get me down, take it my stride. Work harder and make habits.
But sometimes it’s so hard.
I’ve been doing quite well: good food at work, no tuckshop; the occasional walk, but not the last two weeks, despite trying and failing today and yesterday. There’s the slip ups, occasional beer, sliver of birthday cake, or high quality chocolate and it’s paid off.
The muck ups happen from time to time, I could control them, but choose not too: not walking cos “I’m too tired”, the chocolate becoming a habit, the iceblock on Friday, the nuggets from Macca’s cos everyone else was having them on Saturday.
And then there are the f*** ups like today. No matter what I did from yesterday afternoon, I wasn’t going to be happy. I felt odwn yesterday after work and dropped into the supermarket. Now I was going to walk down when I got home, but thought it would be inconvenient. I avoided chocolate, but got a lite milk. I really wanted chicken, but it was too close to dinner.
When I got home I didn’t want to walk, and got all weepy cos I wasn’t happy. This morning was the same, eggs and lean bacon. At work I had salad, but then another ice- block. I really wanted chocolate milk. By after work I had given up- I was making bargains with myself I knew I wouldn’t keep. The end result: KFC, because I’ll go for a walk. Did the walk happen? No. Did the junk make me feel good? Only for five minutes.
I have reinstalled WP and started writing again, becasue I want somehting to show for my weight control today. There’s not been much - but at least I’ve thought about it and put that to record.
