Bad habits…

Just lately I have been slipping back into some old and extremely destructive habits. These are:

1. The afternoon chocolate (attack of the fundraiser box)
2. The before dinner cooking snack
3. After dinner eating.

My real concern is the after dinner eating. I thought I had truly kicked it, that I didn’t need food to enjoy a relaxing evening at home, but perhaps not. I decided a while back to re-do my 30 day challenge but have once again fallen victim of the “find a good time to start” syndrome. This is the syndrome that kept me fat for years, and if  I’m not careful it may stall or even reverse my weightloss.

It begins on monday, come hell or high water. I’ll print out a star chart tonight. Why not start tonight? because it’s a long weekend and I’m tired. God that’s a bad excuse. Oh well.

I don’t expect a good loss this week due to some massive monthly water retention. But I have to admit even if it was a perfectly normal week I wouldn’t expect much based on this week’s performance.  My goal for this weekend? Write some clear mental startegies to deal with the three eating situations I’ve listed above.

I don’t know if this is reality or mild PMS talking, but I feel like I’ve stalled and this month I may even record my first month since I started this journey with no loss at all, or even a gain. Especially since this month started with a massive loss followed by a more massive gain. Better turn this around somehow fast!
