Yesterday was a very stress filled day. It started early with a sick dog & not feeling so great myself. I left the house without my usual iced or hot coffee. Now that I know my favorite tall skinny cinnamon dolce latte is 14 grams of carbs, I avoid Starbucks! I opted to hit the grocery store instead of a drive thru. My 10 year old son was with me so I considered his likes as well. We chose some thin sliced ham & swiss cheese from the deli, some fruit punch MIO water enhancer & 2bottles of water. We rolled the ham & cheese together & made our own "on the go" meal.
Later in the day as the stress mounted I gave in & stopped for ice cream. I opted for the kiddie size cone & accepted the 8 carbs that went with it. It hit the spot & satisfied my emotional urge. A couple weeks ago I would not have considered the smaller option, I would have gotten the largest candy filled choice they had. I have always been an emotional eater. Whether upset, angry, or just bored. I am working on that. I am a constant work in progress. Undoing 47 years of damage doesn't happen overnight.
I had baked Trout for dinner with a small amount of a light lemon butter sauce. I also had a small salad. Overall for the day, I drank 2 bottles of water & a couple glasses of iced coffee. I kept my carb count below my goal of 39 grams so despite the stress involved I didn't make it worse!
Truth: I still have "dieter's guilt". That is so ingrained within me. I find it hard to break. I had ice cream = bad me = I failed myself. I counter that with size choice + not going over carb goal = good me, I made better choices!
Weight yesterday a.m. was 183lbs!
