Feeling a little blue today. But that cartoon above made me laugh! Ha-ha. Not really sure why I’ve been feeling a little down. No real reason. It’s Easter Sunday. Maybe I’m sad because I can’t eat Cadberry Eggs? Hmmmmmm. Those are so good!
I haven’t been sleeping very well and have been feeling really nauseous lately. Not sure if it’s my band or if I have a little bug? I’m still doing really well exercise wise and have lost about 35 pounds in 2.5 months! Overall, I should feel very proud of myself!
Today was probably the first time since my band I feel like I emotionally ate. Just feeling down about who knows what caused me to eat this little chocolate bunny (and I mean little…it was on a stick). My mom gave it to me this morning. She didn’t want to sabotage my success, but she didn’t want me to feel deprived either. I did really awesome this morning at Brunch. My family went to this really nice restaurant called Eugene’s. Their Easter menu didn’t have anything on it that seemed healthy for me, so I asked the chef if he could just make me an egg white omelet with veggies. And he did! He said it was top secret (little did he know I write a Blog), but it just showed that if you ask, usually folks are willing to accommodate. And I didn’t eat the dessert.
Anyway, back to the feeling blue thing. I’m sure it’ll pass. Maybe it’s the time of the season. Spring time. All the bunnies running around for mating season. Or, in my case, all the tornadoes running around. So, I just want to keep myself in check and not emotionally eat. It was not like I was thinking, “Oh, I am feeling down and thinking about stuff, I’m going to eat this chocolate bunny and a few wheat thins with hummus for lunch” – but I knew while I was eating it that this totally was not a healthy lunch. It was an old habit of “snacking” and “grazing” because it was convenient. So what’s the difference this time? I guess the difference is since I feel like I fell off the horse for one meal, I won’t make it 2 meals. Then three. Then a week’s worth. That’s it. Just this one meal. And I am writing about it (in public, mind you) so this shows me that I am holding myself accountable, as are you.
Thanks for listening. I’m really glad my mom gave me the little chocolate bunny. Happy Easter! He has risen, and so has my accountability factor.
