Some Days Are Better Than Others
Last night I ate an entire box of cookie dough bites and I do not feel bad about it. I enjoyed them. And that is that. I had a craving and I did not fight it, but now I feel like I can resist the temptation of sweets for the next few days. Allowing myself that indulgence may be more beneficial in the long run. Maybe......Today, I decided to walk to a location on campus instead of taking the bus. I felt the burn, but I was proud of myself for not taking the easy road. Today is off to a good start!

I've read somewhere that people who try to totally ignore cravings can actually eat more when they give in. So that's not a terrible idea...I am wondering how you'll know which cravings to give into and which to ignore?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the walking! Please keep us posted on the craving; I am curious if giving in last night will translate into fewer temptations in the future. Cravings are tricky!!! (at least for me :))
ReplyDeleteCravings are so complicated... I know that when I struggle with one, I try to distract myself for about 30 minutes, If I still want it when the time is up I let myself have it. Usually I don't want it and I forget about it, or I think about it and am like, yeah, I don't really want that now.
ReplyDeleteBut you are right, there are times when a girl's just got to eat her banana pudding ice cream and enjoy it!
Certainly no gain in self recrimination. Sounds like fun social activity and time with family; gives a sense of how others affect our change attempts as our attempts may impact them.
