Today was a rough day. I have been craving to have some kind
of sweets. Sweets are absolutely my favorite things in the entire world. When I
first started my diet I completely cut them out of my diet, but then I cracked.
There is only so many cravings that I can take before my sugar meter explodes,
and a binge happens. Then comes the
guilt, and possibly the extra pound that you previously ran on the treadmill
for even though you really didn’t want to.
Moral to this story is that it is okay to let yourself have
a sweet treat every once in a while. If you don’t, more serious consequences
will occur. We are all human, we crave sugar and sweets. It is a really good
thing not to eat these types of things in large amounts. It is really good that
you don’t eat these things every single day, but I feel that it is not okay to
cut them out of your life totally. I
have to tell myself these things. It is okay to have a small piece of cake at
your little sister’s birthday party. It
is okay to eat ONE bite size chocolate bar, or in my case it is okay to have a
S’mores Blizzard after months of not eating ice cream.
For me, I still strive to try and be okay with letting
myself indulge once and awhile. I want to be okay with letting my human self be
okay with eating what I carve. I know that the leading diet people may
not agree with me, but I have been able to keep off the weight this long. I
don’t indulge all of the time, but I have planned to work hard all week, and
celebrate my new jobs of the summer with a mini S’mores blizzard with my
family. I have been craving it for months!!Yum!
Remember tomorrow is always a new day, so be human and treat yourself
once in a while.
You have the right philosophy if you ask me - everything is healthy as long as you don't over do it... A scoop of icecream - not a gallon, same as a handful of carrots - not a whole bag :)
