It’s all up to me

I am still going with the plan, at least for the time being, that I am going to focus on making healthy choices instead of being on a “diet”.  Anyone reading this might be saying “duh, that’s what you should do anyway” but it’s a hard concept for me to grasp.  For the most part things have been going well.  I have made a few choices that were less than 100% healthy but they have been conscious choices, not something where I felt out of control.  And based on how things have gone this week I know that if I had been strict with myself I would have lost control, felt like a failure and gone on a binge.  Maybe taking this time to think about everything I am putting into my body will better prepare me for when I have the right circumstances to go back on a more regimented eating plan.  For right now, I’m enjoying the extra fruits I am allowing myself and sticking to lean proteins and veggies as much as possible.
