Day 21- Three weeks
I believe there is some truth to habits being formed in this time period. I am making many of my food decisions automatically. I still think conscious thinking is the way to go, but the old habits of grazing or eating out of boredom are gone… gone forever. I am anxiously awaiting tomorrow’s weigh in- and will not sneak a peek until then. Getting out of the 200’s is really a motivation that will keep me fueled to continue. I will continue to incorporate some sort of movement daily. I agree w/ Botzz, that keeping a variety of activities available, helps to keep us from being bored with the same ole thing. I’m going to keep this short for now, but am sure I will add more as the day progresses.
They say old habits die hard. It does seem hard to kick a habit like eating out of boredom. But, you’ve done it, and so have I!! There is no reason why we will resume that habit in the future. We have found new ways to take up our time when we’re bored (mine being web-surfing and blogging…). I think your attitude is great, and that is what is going to keep you on track! Not to mention that your positivity is absorbed by your “readers” and helps our outlook stay positive, too!
You’re doing great. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Robyn- you are just as important. The last few days I have been a bit out of it. Nothing that would cause me to eat, but a little lonely or bored maybe.Sad part is there is plenty to do around the house, I just dont want to do it. I need a job!! lol. Seriously though, I have way too much time alone, and get antsy. I am a people person, and need people contact. If you ever want to email back and forth, let me know. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I’m a little worried about weigh in. I’m just not feeling it. It’s ok, cause I have already lost 6 lbs and maybe I have hit a hump, but I need to see the 100’s. Ahhhhhh………… promise I wont turn to food for comfort! lol
