I haven't been to a fast food place since my post about "fast food no more." So that's good.
However, it hasn't been a breeze. I've thought about wanting it (but mainly when I'm hungry) and I fight it off. I've also thought of it for work reasons, but decided to work around it and avoided it altogether. Today, was a tough one too...
I babysat for a family I haven't seen in about 5 months, and they live about 30 minutes away. Usually when I leave their home, it's really late, and I get that late night hunger. Even though I didn't leave their house that late today, I still felt the urge to go to the McDonald's on the way home because of the habit and also because I was hungry since I didn't eat a substantial dinner. I fought it, and just kept driving home. But what is bothersome, is the fact that it was that difficult for me. I wanted to call someone and tell them to slap me. I wanted to tell myself that I didn't care if I got fatter. I just wanted to get the McDonald's.
I didn't go. The angel on my shoulder won. And I'm glad. I came home and I DID eat, but I was so hungry that I made a quick PB&J sandwich and had 2 persimmons.
Just thought I should share.

Reach for the sky???
Really...am I aiming too high???
I haven't been able to meet any of my monthly goals, and the number of lbs I've been dropping, have been getting smaller and smaller as the months go by.
In the month of November...I lost a whooping 1 pound. yippy, right? Well, I guess ONE pound is better than NONE....which is better than gaining rather than losing. So yeah, I guess I am glad that I lost even one pound. I know what the problem is though. It's as simple as me not trying hard enough. Sure, I'm trying...a little bit. But I know I can do better. I need to make lots of smaller goals and work on them little by little, and as each day goes by successfully, I feel stronger and prouder.
I still haven't gone to a fast food or food court place since my entry about "fast food no more." I AM proud of myself for that. And even after the first week of not going to one, I felt stronger when I had the urge to go..and I thought to myself, "I've gone one good week without fast food...I don't need to ruin it." I still have to keep working on that though. I may have the urge to go to a drive through or even just think about it, but I do my best to stay away. I will even look away from the tv if a commercial for fast food joints come on. Doing that, makes me feel stronger instantly.
The goal for this month, will just to lose a minimum of 1 pound. Rather than focusing on the number of pounds I want to lose this month (since that's not really working for me), I'd like to make a goal on the physical side. I'd like to get to the gym at least once a week (which is a lot more than what I've been doing recently), and to do a Workout Trainer and/or Push Ups app workout at least twice a week. Also, the next time I go to my mom's house, I'm going to grab the Slim in 6 VHS tapes my sister gave me. I hope to do that as much as I can at work (after the girls have gone to bed). I hope that in the future, I can do those videos 5 days a week as they suggest, but I don't think Anne has a VHS player. And I don't have a tv. And I don't want one. So...yeah.
