I've developed some bad habits over the past six months, habits that have resulted in negative consequences on my mind and body.
I'm ready to be done.
I've developed a taste for and have been indulging in:
Chips
French fries
Cookies
Donuts
Muffins
Candy
Bacon
Sausage biscuits
Bagels
McChicken sandwiches
Alcohol
Sometimes I chew and spit most of it out, sometimes only part of it.
I've gained about 10 lbs in the past 9 months. Not good. It's been a slow creep due to my eating habits.
I'm going to do better. I know I can.
My plan is to try to break the habit of stopping at drive-thrus, even if it has "only" been 2-3 times a week. It's adding up.
I'm so scared. I don't know how to deal with the anxiety and the depression without the instant comfort of food.
Most of my indulgences have been simple carbs. I don't want or need to eliminate them entirely, but given that I don't work out as much as I used to, I don't need that much.
Things that I enjoy that I can have when I'm having a sweet craving:
A mango
Strawberries
Blueberries
Jawbreaker (1-2)
Sugar free popsicles
I just need to retrain my taste buds. I want to start eating more veggies again, like I used to. I used to think they were delicious.
Have I mentioned that I am scared?
But I'm more scared of continuing to live this way.
