Two weeks in and I have cravings. The deep down, from the core, gnawing cravings that are habitually easy to give into. It can be tough. With these inklings, in a blink of an eye, I can end up in a drive through or seeking out ice cream.
The way that I seem to be able to stave off these demon wants is to plan. Take food with me. I don't let myself get too hungry. Indulge in small amounts. Have a cheat day.
See what works best for you, but always try to remain in control. If our actions control us, we can quickly spiral out of control and into a place where time and calories don't exist (except they do exist).
By taking planned meals with you, there is a greater chance that you will stick with your healthy choice, especially if you don't want your prepared food to spoil. It is when I am super hungry that I eat ravenously and usually eat fast food or junk food. If I eat before going to a movie or ballgame, then I am less likely to pig out there. When needing a sugar or junk food fix, have someone order for you or pick a small amount. That way that food can still be on the menu but in controlled amounts. Lastly, schedule a cheat day. Not so that you can do anything, but instead make smart choices that aren't quite as healthy.
Give yourslef a break, and don't try to be perfect. Just keep going! Today 233.6.
