Anyone else prone to saying "I'll get back to it on Monday" or "I'm going to have one last big meal before I get back on track?"
I'm guilty of both.
Thing is, there's no great final weekend of celebratory binging before Monday that gets it out of my system. I'll start on Monday and then it won't be long before I get the desire to eat an entire cake again.
There's no final large pasta meal that is soooo satisfying I feel like I have achieved the Ultimate Pasta Meal and will never desire one again. No, I'll start portioning my food and then it won't be long before someone in my life asks if I want to go have Italian food and we have the discussion over whether I should treat myself.
As no one else in my life is invested in watching what they eat, they are even less invested in making sure I watch what I eat. They will encourage me to wait until later to start and I'll let them.
There's honestly no good reason to start later or have a final large meal. There's no good reason why my very next meal shouldn't be the one where I restart tracking calories.
Honestly, I think the only reason why I delay restarting is because I know it'll be hard for the first few weeks. Who wants to spend their life doing something that's hard?
Well, if I want the result, I have to put in the effort. So I'm not restarting again tomorrow morning. I'm going to go drink a large, refreshing glass of water and eat my well proportioned dinner right now as well as meal prep tomorrow's lunch.
Okay, yeah, this is my third post in 3 months saying I'm getting back to it, but for reals this time! ...... Gyah, this sucks. If I make another post like this next month... well, I hope it's a positive update.
