My goodness, did I learn stuff about myself today.
This third day was harder than I thought. Somehow I was starting to take the change for granted, and before I knew it, my opportunities to do the right thing were slipping away.
I ate my chocolate at breakfast in the morning, then gave into temptation to eat a “second breakfast” at work even though I was not particularly hungry. Luckily, though, the food was already gone when I got there, and I passed on the chocolate sitting right next to my desk.
Lunch was later than usual, and I was in a hurry to get to my next appointment, so I ate bratwurst and french fries, thereby blowing my easiest chance at tasty vegetables. The cafeteria at work is great for veggies, offering several different kinds every day, in full menus, plus a hot and cold buffet.
In the evening I finally got my extra veggie in by eating celery with hummus (tasty!!). I did turn off my computer early in the morning, and did a few minutes of meditation before leaving for work. My reward was to read extra in the evening, and that was just a so-so experience.
Goals accomplished, but just barely. There was not much positive self-talk, nor intuitive eating today.
One more day 0n the 4 day win, then I get my big reward. I’m not fooling myself that it will be easy.
