Last night I totally tanked it own my plan. I ended up reaching for Mac and Cheese for comfort food and I got taken in by some warm baked cookies my husband made. The lesson I learned in all of this is two fold.
I. I have to take 1000% ownership of my own abstinence at all times. ( Sure my husband baked those cookies and offered me some, BUT can I blame him for me eating three of them? Blaming others does not serve me in any way. The only way I can make lasting change is to own my stuff and take responsibility for my own actions. The bottom line is I wanted those cookies. I have to be proactive about reminding my husband to bake when I am not home. I have to do what it takes to remain faithful to my own plan!)
II. Don't shoot out the tires. (Mistakes are not the end of the world!!!! Being a drama queen when I make mistakes is nothing but me giving myself license to make more of them. So what I messed up on Wednesday, what am I going to do about it Thursday? I ate a cookies this morning, and I decided not to count that cookie against myself in my grading for this week. I still have the opportunity to get 5 out of 7 days on plan. I work hard today I can stick to my Sacred Snacks this evening and pull through this weekend I will earn a solid B. It was important to not dock myself and give up, but to allow a little credit so that I can keep fighting. The bottom line is to stop looking for excuses to throw in the towel!)
