Last night I had a huge craving for wine. I mean, HUGE. Before I realised what I was doing, I'd put my shoes and coat on ready to go to the shop to get some. Then I sat down, thought about it, and realised that if I don't have the wine, I could save 300 calories. Somehow I resisted the urge, and that little victory just felt so good. I went to bed feeling really proud of myself, and it just made me want to try that little bit harder.
I guess I can think of my will power like a muscle - you use it or lose it. I spent months, trying my hardest not to give in to temptation, and it worked for the most part. Then after the wedding, I thought, 'I'll treat myself now, I've worked so hard, I deserve to have some time off from calorie counting'. So I stopped. And my will power, just like a muscle that you stop using, seemed to get smaller and weaker. Then, when I tried to start using it again at full power, it just wasn't strong enough!
I think I need to take each day at a time, and really be mindful about each thing that I put into my mouth. Do I really want this? Do I really need this? Am I going to regret this?
I think my goal at the moment will be to just have a calorie deficit of over 100. That's it. Just for now. I've been going over my calorie limit for so long that it's become normal to me, and I need to create a new normal.
