It hit me today! My name is Joanna, and I am an excuse-aholic. How annoying and lame is that!?!?! Wanna hear them? OF COURSE YOU DON'T! I don't either, for that matter! I have 4 main ones that I use to justify eating off the wagon. WOW! 4! ME! 4! I just didn't see myself as an excuse person. Self awareness is the first step to a large piece of cake...NOOOOO!!
Ok, here they are. Just so I get them out there, and face the Fab 4.
1. I'm tired
2. I'm bored
3. I'm stressed
4. I don't feel good
My now realistic answers to the Fab 4:
1. If I'm not too tired to go get the bad food, then I must also have the energy to get the good food. Same amount of energy spent.
2. Find something to do that's productive.
3. So what, don't eat! Suck it up, cupcake! Walk it off!
4. And eating bad food solves that problem how?
Nice to know what I'm doing to myself. Who knew? (If you did, let's just keep that to yourself, ok?) There are others. Oh yes, there are others. BUT, these seem to be the main ones throughout the day that "fester, fester, fester...rot, rot, rot." (Name that movie!)
You know - I had to look up that quote - but I always laugh when that movie come on.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya on the excuses front! Good luck! Stay strong.
