Yesterday I ate out for every meal. Ugh! I am feeling it now!
Honestly, I was about to write how I was on the go for the majority of the day and didn’t really have a chance to eat food at home, but that’s just not true. Granted, my take-out breakfast was more of a necessity than my other meals because I was running a bit late in the morning, yet I could have easily had my lunch and dinner at home – I just choose to be out when it was time to eat.
Interesting. I’m glad I just caught myself from reporting that inaccurate excuse. I certainly do not want to fool myself into thinking that I had no choice when the reality is that I didn’t feel like eating at home and I created a circumstance to match my desire.
The least I can do is continue being honest with myself about the decisions I make. At least that way I will always know exactly what led up to an upset stomach or the severe bloat from too much sodium, and I will have an easier time talking myself out of similar actions in the future.

I needed to curb my penchant for making detours into eateries en route to the mega weekly shop, and it didnt take an Einstein to work out why I could never get out of the house till just before lunchtime either - shopping didnt happen unless it did food too. Happy to report that I am a little better - but I understand the draw of eating out.
ReplyDeleteBR.
Boy! Do I understand this post!! I am working on being honest with myself right now. I can find an excuse for almost anything if I try hard enough. Honesty is going to work much better for me, I know, but it's a hard habit to break.
ReplyDeleteEating out is a huge challenge as it is...I can't imagine having to do it all day. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYikes...I'm fixing to eat out now.
ReplyDeleteNO NO NO>..and that dress was looking so smashing on you....
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a victory when you catch yourself making stupid excuses? Way to go. Just try to move on and have a healthy week!
ReplyDeleteGREAT job!!! Catching the old thought patterns/excuses is SUCH a victory!! Actually thinking about what you are putting into your mouth is a victory for me, anyway!
ReplyDeleteKeep on, keepin' on! YOU ARE DOING FABULOUS! :)
I'm so proud of you for realizing what you were going to do and reporting honestly instead. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I know I'm a bit late, but you looked AMAZING in that dress.
Yep that being honest with ourselves is most important. You know as well as I do - if you do this once in a rare while its "ok". We just can't make it a habit.
ReplyDeleteYou are so rocking this out!!!
I ate out most of the weekend. i brought lunch to work but before and after I had to eat out. I don't have a kitchen and my dorm's caf wasn't open when I was around.
ReplyDeleteYou are 100% right about the necessity for being honest with ourselves. I really think I was the queen of excuses for years and years. And honestly, I can still come up with a really good one!
ReplyDeleteHonesty is the best policy, though not always the easiest one to adhere to. Good for you on catching yourself and still being honest with yourself! I am having troubles with that one myself lately. Trying to get back on the straight and narrow.
ReplyDeleteWay to catch yourself and be accountable! That's what "we're here for...to be accountable to each other. Free therapy. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have you all with me on this journey. Having all the different feedback really makes a differnce!
