No stress baking that will result in me eating all of it. Instead of reaching for a heavy calorie beer, I reached for a glass of water. I took today to take care of myself without eating a ton of sodium-rich foods and sugary, high calorie snacks. Instead of binging on a burger and fries, I stuck to some salmon and a small serving of sweet potato fries.
I also, out of curiosity, pulled the hoodie out of the closet that is just a little too tight. I had no problem zipping it up!! I went running out to my husband in it going "Hey!! Look!! I can wear this hoodie now!"
I can leave behind a lot of painful setbacks and start healing physically, as well as overcoming goals where I don't feel like they're mountains to climb, but rather steep hills that I can walk up with a little effort.
I also feel amazing after being able to zip up a hoodie that was too small just a month ago.
I still love baking, but I am going to focus on healthier options, as well as more creative ideas for recipes.
And, really, breaking the cycle is great. I have only lost about 12 pounds so far, most of it I think was water weight, but I am super proud about it. I am more focused on veggies, self discipline, low calorie options, and unsweetened (NOT "sugar free") alternatives.
10 pounds down, 80 more to go. 👍
