Wednesday evening
Well, today I just couldnt control my chocolate craving any longer. It seems that, atleast right now, 2 days is my control limit! I had some Ashers Chocolates that my Aunt Nancy gave us for Christmas. I took the rest of the box and put it in the trashcan in the garage! I did 20 min. of "Just Dance" afterward because I was so mad and disappointed in myself when I entered the chocolate into my daily nutrition counter! I am going to do another 20 min with the kids now. Some would call that exercise bulimia, but I call it, paying for what I ate! I will pray for God to give me the strength to resist my cravings and keep me busy so I don't think about them. Tomorrow is another day and I will do my best to stay on track so I am not playing catch up. On a GOOD note, I did go to the gym this morning with Carole. I was only able to do 45 min on the treadmill because I was late getting to the gym and I had to meet Joe at Reedmans at 7:30 to drop my truck off. I had the treadmill at a 4-5% incline for the 45 min at 4 miles/hr, so that was GOOD!! I would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to my awesome husband Joe!! The battery died in my truck and before he went to work this evening he went and got me a new one! He didn't want me to not be able to go to the gym in the morning!! I love him so much and appreciate everything he does for all of us :)

I don't think you should have been so hard on yourself for eating the chocolate. I think what you are doing here is changing your lifestyle, not dieting. So, you can't deprive yourself of chocolate forever, and the way you satisfied your craving and moved on was something to be proud of!! I love you! I know that Grandma is smiling down on you and very proud, just like me!!
ReplyDeleteAmanda you made me tear up. Thank you for your post, it means alot to me and I HOPE Grandma is proud of me. I am trying so hard to use the terrible pains that she went through as a lesson of what I DON'T want to happen to me. I love you so much honey!
ReplyDeleteSue...remember that you are human ;0) and don't kill yourself over a little speed bump. Just pick yourself up and do your best in the next meal or snack you have.
ReplyDelete"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
ReplyDeleteI am with Amanda and Maria. You can't deprive yourself because if you are anything like me, I'll eat the healthy snack AND the other one.
Choice wisely. Ask God for wisdom. Chocolate is ok. Do you like dark choc.? It's better for you. Look at the calories and know what you're eating before you eat it. Do you like hot chocolate? That might satisfy your choc. craving. It's an experiment right now.
Be encouraged! We've all been there. We've all stumbled. Let HIM catch you. He's going to meet you right where you are any way and not wait until you are perfect (since that day will never come.)
Love you (sorry for the book here).
