I noticed something when I went to the grocery store today. I completely
skipped all the aisles that I normally go to, such as the snack aisle
and the ice cream aisle. I had my phone with me and was using my scanner
app on everything that I was thinking of getting. When I found out what
the points were, I debated on whether that tiny little granola bar, or
those 2 cookies were really worth the points they would tack on, and for
the most part put a lot of stuff right back on the shelf. I am
wondering if I am being too conscious about it though.
I think I
am most worried that if I cut out all the yummy foods like ice cream or
cookies, that should I happen to have a sweet treat at some point, I am
going to go on a binge. I really wanted to get some cookies from the
bakery, but I stopped myself because I knew that 2 cookies would
probably not be enough and I would end up eating more than I want to. I
am glad that I have the sense to know when I will not have the self
control to portion, but it worries me that I may not be able to keep
that control if I completely deprive myself of anything that I think
tastes good. I ended up walking out of the store with turkey burgers,
olive oil, fat and sugar free cool whip, water, seltzer, and a 2 liter
of diet pepsi.
I was starving when I left the store, and almost
hit up the Burger King on the way home but went right on by because I
know the points weren't worth it. I am enjoying the restraint that I
seem to have, but hope that it lasts and that I don't give up once the
weight loss starts slowing down. I did not weigh myself today, I am
trying really hard not to do it every day so that when it fluctuates I
don't get discouraged and go on a binge. Right now I am sitting down to
some low fat cottage cheese instead of BK. Granted it doesn't taste
nearly as good as a burger would but sacrifices have to be made if I
want to lose the weight!
