On Sunday, I messed up with my eating.
My husband, Mike and I were driving home from church and I was hungry. Now usually, I will put an apple or banana in my purse so that I can eat it on the way home.
From experience, I’ve learned that I’m tempted to get fast
food when I’m hungry during those times. Fast food is quick and I typically don’t feel like cooking much after serving at church.
So here I was after church without my normal backup plan.
Visions of crispy, fried chicken danced in my head.
I usually put our main course in the crockpot before church so that it is ready by the time we get home.
But I didn't do that either.
I told Mike that I wanted to go get the fried chicken. So we drove to the fast food place. We got the biscuits and the
sides too. It was all delicious.
Now someone might say, "But Kim, you failed! That wasn’t healthy at all. Why don’t you just give up on living a healthy lifestyle? Just quit and live off fried chicken and biscuits forever!"
Actually, that "someone" would have been me back in the day. I had a bad case of "all
or nothing" thinking.
If you find yourself starting and re-starting new weight loss plans often, then you may be suffering from "all or nothing" thinking too.
However, you must eliminate this pattern if you want to succeed with weight loss
permanently.
