Day 336 - Pizza

So I had my first "real" lapse/cheat.  Horrible.  I was not out of control, I knew what I was doing and I went ahead and did it anyway.  I am lucky that I didn't gain weight from it, but my guilt factor is off the charts.

We all want to be able to control.  Show a little self discipline stop when we need to stop, but  sometimes it just doesn't happen.  Why.  Well I guess if I could answer that question I would be that much ahead in the game.  Indeed why?

Did I really want to over indulge - no, but it did taste really good, I wanted to continue to savior that taste.  I think maybe if I ate it a little slower, as we learned in class, mindful eating, I wouldn't have had that other piece.

We weren't even going to eat there.  I was expecting to go home and eat at home.  So - hmm- that might have been it.  I am not ready to do the unexpected.  Every other time I have gone out I have planned the outing, and I had been aware that I was not going to be eating my regularly scheduled food.  This time was the first time that I went out completely unplanned and obviously unprepared.

I don't think it will happen again, at least not for a while, so it was a blip.  Now I know that I need to always plan my outings.  Like today - we are going out - I know exactly what I am having and how many calories they are - it is already planned.  But that is easy right now - I am still full from yesterday.

  1. Neither of us planned to eat there, so TSH and T3 both were sandbagged AND the pizza wasn't that good even!!!!! I know you said the vegetarian stuff was good, but the double pepperoni was more like rice-a-roni!

    Planning ahead is good!
