valentines shmalentines!!!
Ok so valentines day is not the most conducive holiday for someone who is trying to lose weight. I allowed some cheating to happen yesterday (darn you dark chocolate truffles!!!) mainly because it was my dads birthday and my mom made ALL my favorite foods. On the upside though, I discovered that I could push back from the table even with all of my favorite things on it. Its hard for me to have that kind of will power. I don't know why but when it comes to really rich and fattening foods I just can't leave well enough alone! Well I did yesterday. WooHoo! I told myself that I had enough on my plate and there were to be no seconds and remarkably I listened to myself. I kind of know how my kids feel now though. I heard my own motherly voice and I just wanted to yell at it to stop nagging! I will have to take that into consideration the next time I get onto my children about cleaning or homework. Anyways, just thought I would share my little victory with the cookie (truffle, pie, cake) monster! Thanks for following along:)

Woohoo! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYay, Jess! I can so relate. My struggle is with portion control. My goal is to eat 80% healthy and then when I'm faced with a yummo unhealthy meal and/or dessert, to just have a small portion. I haven't gotten there, yet...but I know that's what living a life of moderation looks like. I have to get away from the all or nothing mentality. If I can't have the largest piece of cake with the most frosting and be able to eat every stinking bite of it, usually I just don't even bother. Isn't that awful? For me, though...I'm also learning to eat on a small plate and I'm happy with whatever is on my plate as long as I can eat it all. You're doing awesome...hang in there!
ReplyDeleteOh I get this one! I just started a sugar fast AGAIN. I can't seem to do it this time at all. I am so proud of you. You are so beautiful and I see you growing in so many ways. You have been through so much and look how wonderful you are!
