So Last week was the first week that I completely cut out
sweets, and I must say, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it was going to be! It was still a bit rough though. I realized this weekend that it is OK to treat myself
with sweets here and there. I am not going to make myself totally miserable by
cutting out the things that I love most. I just have to remember to eat everything
in moderation. I also know that I can make up for it during the week for the
most part.
Teaching yourself self-control is the KEY to maintaining and
sticking to a healthy diet, while also being able to reward yourself once or twice a
week. I have noticed that I felt so much better without the sweets during the
week. I didn’t feel heavy, I felt more energized, and I also wasn’t in a bad
mood and kicking myself for eating something I knew I shouldn’t have eaten =p.
In terms of no alcohol, I don’t usually drink during
the week anyway, but I decided that if I am going to drink during the week or
on a weekend, I am limiting myself to 1-2 drinks, and that’s it. As I am getting
older, I have started to hate the feeling of drinking and getting belligerent,
and on top of it all, waking up with a severe hangover. I like to enjoy my
days, and if I am in bed and hungover, I feel like I have wasted an
entire day for no reason.
I have already noticed that the little pooch I had in my
stomach is now dwindling away from just a few minor changes in my diet. So just
know that it is OK to treat yourself once a week. Would you rather be happy,
and control your food intake, or be miserable by not treating yourself to that
slice of pizza or cake?
