I'm feeling discouraged-maybe a little depressed. I ate major junk food yesterday and miraculously and by being very careful was still under my target. So I was ready today to have a great day, and then we got a package in the mail today. It was gluten-free food that I ordered from a bakery. I came with 2 loaves of white bread, cinnamon raisin bread, and these giant cookies. Well, I made myself a ham sandwich-the first that I've had in a very long time. And then I took a bite of the chocolate chip cookie. It tasted so good-and I don't usually eat cookies. But it's been so long since I've had a good tasting cookie that doesn't have that cardboard kind of flavor. I ate one of the huge ones and finished Collin's when he couldn't finish his. It was definitely a deprivation mindset. I'm usually okay with eating gluten-free, but sometimes I just feel so sad and I miss certain foods. Then I go crazy when I find a good gluten-free treat. And that's exactly what happened yesterday too. I had too many of the gluten-free treats. I must remember, I don't have to eat it all at once. It will be there later. I should have had half of the cookie and saved the rest (the thing was huge).
Still learning, still learning.
