I’ve notice before my journey, but I have a problem with snacking. That’s why intermittent fasting works for me. When I began to stress, I tend to eat more sweets. The goal is to become more focus on my goal. I know I shouldn’t snack, let alone snack sweets. My sweet tooth is bad and I am fully aware of it. So I have admitted my issue. Recently, after I did a quick weigh in after my procedure; my weight went up ten pounds. That is a slap in the face. I worked hard to be discipline to get my weight down because I did a full diet change. After that I ate ice cream. I don’t feel defeated, but damn; I mine as well eat the chocolate. It wasn’t a lot though, but it’s been 13 days since I had chocolate. I won’t give up because I am not happy with what I see in the mirror; and Ky kills me with the stomach rubs. I do have to be careful because some so small can become something huge. When I am unhappy, I tend to snack. When I feel hopeless, I snack. When I feel down, I snack. When I hit depression mood, I snack. I know I seem like I got it all together, but most of the time I am falling apart and snacking my troubles away. I tell myself a million times, this isn’t the way and I got to get it together. I try to replace my snacking with workouts or healthy snacks. We all know the healthy stuff ain’t it. Working out is a lot more easier. The accountability journey is helping me because I have to tell everyone what I am eating, therefore there isn’t any hiding. I guess to anyone who is actually reading my blog. This journey is making me want to do better and be better. My goal weight is 170 and I started at 206. I pray for wisdom and strength, so I can get through this journey. I hope my journey can encourage someone to start their own. If I can just get past the stress eating, I’ll be good; but this is a long term goal and battle, I am facing head on.
