I'm so blown away in fact, that your pic is goin on the friodge, and when I've scraped the fee together, I'm joining the gym.
THAT IS MY NO. 1 NEW YEAR RESOLUTION and I'll do it!
But again, wow! Good on you!
I just had to post this.
I don't really get tempted by sweets and chocolate and sodas, even though I have a seriously sweet tooth and love junk food.
But today, WOW!
I found that the fat part of my mind took over and convinced me to go and buy some sweet stuff, just a little treat for myself for being so good.
My fave show is on a Saturday evening and it's the only show I watch all week.
"Get a few treats for myself watching it", I was telling myself.
I bought a can of Coke, a pack of chocolate brownies and a bag of popcorn.
I thought this wasn't too bad, just a little bit of a treat!
But then my Atkins mind tried to take over and the whole way home I was wrestling with would I eat these or not!!!
Anyway, I got inside my apartment and was still wrestling. If this was a treat for today, would I be telling myself the same thing next week? Or maybe even in a few days!
I knew that as soon as sugar got into my system, I'd have ruined all the good work of the last 5 months and have to start all over again. I'd prob get cravings for sugary things again and maybe even withdrawal headaches and I'm past all that and I SURE AS **** AIN'T GOING BACK TO THAT!!!
So, I opened the Coke, smelt it and poured it down the sink!
I opened the popcorn and poured it into the bin!
I opened the brownies and mashed them up and put them in the bin and I then I poured ketchup over the lot!!!
So, I was tempted, but I did not fall!
I'll do a big shop tomorrow and make sure that I have lots of nice things always waiting for me in the fridge that I can look forward to.
So, I've just had some nice stir-fry , some water and a lil diet pepsi.
It was a close one, but I'm proud of myself! Another victory to me!
I also thought the whole time of Vlacko's before and after pics and I want to look like that much more than I want a momentary, fleeting piece of junk food.
Resist the voices folks, don't get talked into letting yourself down, by yourself!!! Listen to the Atkins you, it's always there if you just listen to it!!!
Lookin' pretty smokin' in that there, pic! Geesh...these good-lookin' little boys are gonna give my fat, old body a heart attack here! LOL
