Okay, I'm back on track today. I was worried that it would be difficult to get back on the program after free day, but it was okay today. I remember the first time I tried this challenge. I would wake up the day after my free day feeling so depressed that I wouldn't be able to have icecream or whatever for a whole nother week. But I didn't feel that way today. I felt determined. I will succeed in this. I already am successful. I am in such a different place this time than I was last time I tried this. Plus I have support, which is really important. But I know that this will take hard work. I have accepted that. I have accepted, too, that I have habits that need to be changed and I'm ready to change them.
The most difficult parts of today were when my son came out of church with those little plastic Easter eggs filled with my favorite candy (of course). After I took out the gluten candy that he can't have, I saw receese's, hershey's kisses, and (gulp) Peeps! We were going on a short road trip and luckily I brought my favorite protein bar (tastes just like a candy bar) and an apple. So proud of myself.
Then tonight when we were eating dinner, my son and husband were eating chips. I didn't have any!!
I needed to get the momentum going again and I did. Now I can keep rolling and going on with the program.
