Tales from the Scale: Are you kidding me?

Week 2 at my meetings and what happened, gained .2, FREAKING POINT 2. I could have peed that much out! Honestly I shouldn't be that mad. Last week on Thursday I went out for drinks with a coworker...2 dirty martinis. Then, that night, came the HUGE chicken burrito with chips and salsa that I HAD to have because well, I deserved it! It would have been fine if I tracked and moved on, but I didn't. I played dumb. It came to Friday and I started on Core like nothing happened the night before. Then came Sunday. Oh Sunday. Drunk Brunch was in full action, plus a cupcake from Magnolia. Bellini's, Bloody Mary's, and Champagne...oh, I also had food, but that wasn't near as good as the cocktails. So I guess in hindsight, gaining .2 is really not bad. Yay for me!!

At my meeting today we talked about 3 words. Stop, Rest, Assess. Easy right? For some reason, this is difficult for me. My head is telling me EAT, while my stomach is "Ok, we are good, you can stop". My head usually wins this fight. I, for some reason, don't trust what my gut is telling me. Why? I am not sure, but something I am going to start thinking about actively. We also talked about Treats. I never really realized that at times, I am eating a treat when I really should have be eating something that would satisfy me. So this week, I plan on making it a priority to stop, rest, and assess myself when eating anything. I also am going to start treating treats as TREATS! Something I should savor and enjoy. Here's hoping that next week I can get back on the losing train.
