I am so glad that I have this place to write down my thoughts on diet because I need to remember how EASY some days are to eat well! I just get into this all or none mode where if I am eating bad one day then I just continue to do it day after day after day, not really connecting with what my body is even craving anymore. I am 100% sure that there will be many days in my future where the cravings get the best of me, but if I can just remember to let that day be just that day and start fresh the next, then I can stop this constant Yo Yo situation.
I was looking back at some pictures of me and since hitting my Weight Watchers goal weight in Jan 2005 (where I had lost 68 lbs), I noticed that I have fluctuated up and down 45 lbs of that 68. While I am glad to know that in 5 years since hitting that goal, that I have not gained it all back even after two pregnancies. I know that if I continue on this all or none path, that I am setting myself up for certain failure.
My focus needs to be on really putting in my brain that once I hit goal this time, that I can maintain it for a lifetime. I can eat heathy on most days and have some splurges here and there and be satisfied.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
