Yes, I did it. I made it a whole day without falling off the wagon. It may not sound like much to you but it is a really big deal to me. Every successful day makes me feel a little more in control of myself and my life. I don't know about anyone else, but when I find myself "falling off the wagon" I get so disappointed in myself and I think the worst feeling is that some part of me is trying to sabotage all my efforts for good health. Picture those TV shows and cartoons where the devil and the angel are on a person's shoulders, each pushing the person to make their choice. For me it is an ongoing struggle between these two characters. Devil-girl is saying, "eat this, you deserve it, you've had a hard day, you're hungry, blah, blah, blah". I really hate that devil-girl, I wish she would just go away and leave me alone. When I know that I have succeeded and beat that devil-girl down I feel so much better about myself. It gives me strength.
I have found a new web site that you can use to track your food and exercise. It is called my fitness pal at http://www.myfitnesspal.com .
I am double booking my food this week on both this site and Weight Watchers to compare. After two days, it has been enlightening. I am definitely seeing some areas I can improve on. After the week, I'll have more analysis to share.
Today is a bit more of a challenge. I am going out to lunch, I have told my friend I can only go to a place where I know the nutritional information so I can count it correctly. It is still going to be hard, but I need to be able to do this and succeed.
Good luck to me.
