I just slapped myself....hopefully hard enough
It was the case every Christmas for the first 27 years of my life, I destroyed every sweet in site. The first after surgery(2011), I had one or two bites but nothing major....but 2012 was a different story. I screwed up.... badly....not what I would have done before but enough to gain 5 lbs over the season.
In itself, I wasn't too upset. I can lose 5 lbs quickly. Where the problem is is that it is now middle of January and I just found myself snacking on a snickers mini....with plenty more lined up for demolition. After thinking about the last two weeks, this was on its way to becoming the norm. That is stopping today. The Christmas excuse I was using failed.
Soooooooo what I need....is some other people to step up and admit they have been letting their guard down so I don't feel like the only idiot who did this.....any takers?
I'm battling the flu now and its making my body hurt too much for strenuous exercise but starting now, I'm going back to protein first and lowering good carbs eliminating the bad ones....asap, likely Friday, I will resume my C25K that I'm near the end of and introduce some weight training....and everyone and their brother is trying to get me to join crossfit so I may just break down and do that too....and I will lose this 5 lbs in 2 weeks. Fortunatly, I am still under my goal weight so if I catch it now, I'll have never strayed above my goal.....
Feel free to pimp slap me if you'd like.....
I let my guard down and relaxed while my husband was home. Not everything in sight, but way too much and stuff I shouldn't have been eating at all.
I carried it all out to the trash and it is GONE.
You can do it. Get rid of it all. You deserve to have an atmosphere that isn't full of temptation. Forget what it cost. You can't afford to keep it.
And I felt like I lost ten pounds just walking back into the house after trashing it all, and the 3 pounds I'd put on disappeared fast, too.
YOU CAN DO IT.
