I saw this amazing post on LoseIt recently and I want to try to apply it right now.
I’m home alone tonight, I’ve had my dinner already, and the craving waves are hitting hard. All I want to do is order some Domino’s and pig out HARD. But I am not going to do it! Instead I’m going to hang out here and keep myself busy.
Thoughts that are helping me ride the wave: - I just have to make it to 6 am tomorrow.
-
I can either work on this tomorrow morning (when I’ll be picking myself up YET AGAIN) or work on it right now (by not overeating).
-
If I’m truly hungry, I have a healthy snack planned and I’ll eat that. I can always eat if I’m hungry. I don’t need to order takeout for that.
-
I have urges every night. This is not a special occasion - this is a normal occurrence.
I’ll keep dropping more here as I come up with them. I can do this!! This is going to be a deficit night. Going to wake up tomorrow proud, happy, with no regrets and a flatter belly :)
Edit 1/another thought: I’ve had enough calories already today. So even if I get hungry, I KNOW I’ve had enough food for the day. (Which is probably why I keep thinking I’m hungry, drinking water, and then realizing I wasn’t hungry at all - just thirsty.)
Edit 2: Tonight, I’m going to break this habit loop. I’m chipping away at this neural pathway and it will get weaker every time. It’s never going to be as hard as it is tonight!
Edit 3: I want to be sexy. And even more than that, I want to be FREE. Free from bloated bellies. Free from feeling gross. Free from worrying about food. Free to wear anything I feel like. Just FREE. This is worth it. This is me shaking off my shackles, one day at a time.
Edit 4: The craving waves seem to have stopped. It seems like they lasted…maybe an hour max? That’s not so bad!! I’ll trade an hour of discomfort for freedom, happiness, pride, finally having a chill easy relationship with food, and achieving the ONE goal I’ve been working on the longest!!
Edit 5: The math on this is kind of crazy. If I ordered food, I would have had maybe 30 min of happiness while eating + most of the day tomorrow feeling gross and disappointed. Instead, I chose ~60 min of slight discomfort + a whole day of feeling proud tomorrow. YAY!!
