I don't know why it happened, but over the last three days, I have lost focus.
Saturday I ate when I wasn't hungry. More than once.
I am not eating large amounts of food, but just eating when I am not truly hungry. And it's like I had forgotten completely that I was trying to eat fresh, healthy foods.
For dinner on Saturday night , I ate a Schwans prepared frozen dinner with the family.
Roast beef and mashed potatoes with gravy.
I did not follow any Food Rules and ate it without thinking.
Then on Sunday I made Chex Mix. It's as if I was on auto pilot.
Why would I make a snack?
I don't snack any more.
So I ate it for meals.
A cup with my chai at lunch and a cup with three slices of ham at dinner.
Yes. I said ham.
I bought a little ham to try it out to see if it would be tasty to serve for Christmas Eve.
I tried it and it was delicious. Salty and yummy ham.
What on earth? Chex Mix and ham is not the way to health.
And it is not the way to weight loss.
I apparently know how to eat so I can maintain. It's a gift I have. I can stay the same better than anyone I know.
This is a depressing fact, especially this week when I wanted to have a nice weight loss to greet the Three Month mark of my
new way of eating and living. So instead of losing those three pounds (small goal that it was) I am sure when I get on that scale tomorrow morning, the number will be the same as it was two weeks ago.
You know that 21 day rule. It's bunk.
I am well over 21 days and eating healthy is NOT a habit. In fact, it seems extremely easy to forget I am even doing it.
Perhaps I was just tired of thinking about it.
Who knows.
I can wait for hunger today. I can make good choices today.
What more can a girl do?
I'll save the depression for tomorrow. Once I weigh myself I know I will be battling that all day.
Goody gumdrops.
