One thing that sucks about struggling with weight loss is that you know exactly what you NEED to do you just choose not to do it.
I know the one area which I struggle the most is snacking after dark. The obvious course of action is to simply stop eating after dinner…I just can’t seem to bring myself to make the commitment.
My internal monologue is reminiscent of the tantrums I see with my 3 & 6 year olds. “I don’t wanna!” “It isn’t fair!”, “Everyone else gets evening snacks!!”
I know, I know, I just need to grow up!!
I take for granted the areas of my weight loss where I had it easier than most. I was able to say goodbye to most trigger foods without much after thought and, unlike some other weight loss bloggers I know, am able to eat foods I love in moderation without having to cut them out of my life completely.
On a semi related but completely off track note, I realized for the first time how appreciative that my mom refused to have snack food around the house. I was so envious of friends who would have ice cream and snacks readily available all the time. For a time I thought it may have been a reason why I gained so much weight. Being deprived for so long I binged when I had total access. Now I realize it was a blessing in disguise, because I was so use to never having tons of sweets around that I don’t miss it all that much now.
Okay, back to the subject at hand. So I am seriously needing to bite the bullet and make the decision.
I, Channie, do swear to stop eating after the evening meal.
Phew….it’s done. If you could see my face through the computer screen you would see this:
On to the next!!! (Okay, if you can tell me what awesome show ended each episode with that slogan, up until recently, then you’re amazing)
