Today is day two in my new eating plan and I am happy to report that I have had another successful day. That means no cheating. I've had breakfast, lunch, & dinner with 2 snacks in between and I am about to have my 3rd and final snack for the day. Although I experienced the irritation yesterday in watching my family eat "less than healthy" food choices, it was worth it for me to endure the feelings and to eat the way that I did as I woke up this morning feeling like I was slimmer. I know it sounds crazy after only one day, but every time I eat clean I just feel thinner the next day.
I even went grocery shopping without craving everything in sight. I think that's great because usually whenever I try to adopt a healthier way of eating I always seem to want everything that I can't have. I hate that. I begin to feel deprived and think that life isn't fair. I start thinking about how I will never be able to eat those "bad foods" again. There is something wrong with my thinking. How is it that I am deprived for not eating something that is bad for me? My husband & I talked about that today. I told him about my irritation at last night's dinner. He said it sounded funny for me to be upset & irritated last night at dinner when I was the one who was eating the better food. Coincidentally, there was a part of me that felt guilty because I was eating better than they were.
I think that a big part of my success is going to be able to control my thoughts. I'll save that for another day. Wish me luck for tomorrow.
