I am really lacking motivation to continue on with this 'food plan.' I mean, after the buffet this past weekend, why not let a couple things slide? I mean, what's the big deal?
So, those were my thoughts and during my nightly web browsing, I came across this article. It was really helpful. Here are my reflections.
1. Focus on the present. I've been focusing on the past (the buffet) and thinking how far away the future end date is. I need to think about here and now.
2. Take action. My action was to write this blog post.
3. Look at how far you've come. We've made it to day 20!!
4. Do one thing differently. I have a couple things in mind: pack more snacks for the work day, and try some new recipes (hopefully some sweet and also something reminiscent of bread!).
5. Detach from the outcome. Hmm...I already messed up once and now I'm afraid of messing up even more, so why don't I just quit? Yeah, I'll work on that thinking pattern.
6. Remember the payoff. The end result: Chad and I are super healthy. And happy because of it. I just have to keep telling myself that it is worth it!!
