One of the reasons that I wanted to do this challenge was due to my lack of will power. I really like to eat....again why I have belly rolls. I really believe all things in moderation but I don't always practice it. Last night we got chocolate chip cookies from some friends. I ate one last night and then I ate one this afternoon. I think that was pretty good. Normally I would eat 5-6 of them especially because they were good cookies.
This is the beginning of the holiday season and there is going to be a lot of food and a lot of temptations. We are going to a dinner party tonight and have a Halloween party on Saturday. That is a lot of food. My first big trial. Am I going to be able to resist all of the temptations this holiday season? NO! And I am not going to try. I am going to give my self permission to enjoy the yummy food that comes around this time of year. Because if I don't.....I will get grumpy.....I will get resentful....and then I will give in and binge. So moderation is my motto this year. We will see how it works this weekend. Wish me luck!
I'm right there with you! I tell myself that the sooner the goodies are gone, the sooner the temptation is gone, so I can get back to eating right. However, my method of getting rid of them is through my stomach. Not exactly sound nutritional thinking. This is why this challenge is so great over the holidays- it keeps us motivated to make smart choices. Good Luck!
