I had a great week last week following my point but I see now that I didn't really update last week.
We spent the weekend at the AMAZING Young Life camp, Crooked Creek! I have absolutely no control over what we are eating and what goes into any meal the entire weekend. I remember leaving a leadership weekend last year and feeling terrible when I left. I was bloated, uncomfortable and had obviously eaten way too much. I do however have control over how much I eat. I made sure to only eat what I really wanted to and not take seconds unless I really needed or wanted them. I didn't miss the seconds and I was just a full and much happier this weekend. My pants fit my stomach isn't all pudgy and I feel great!
You have exactly the right attitude to continue to succeed! It is empowering to realize that we can control the choices even in an environment where you think you have no choice. Congratulations on your good work!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! We went to a church camp retreat this weekend as well, and I made wise eating choices as well. I left feeling much better than if I had eaten all kinds of junk.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to look at things :) Glad yall had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI agree...I've been trying to remain mindful of what I eat and how much I eat. Even if it's just junk food, I can still control how much I eat! So hard and challenging but it's good when you accomplish it!
ReplyDeleteGah!! It's like you read my mind. My huge problem is just eating too much. I've gained some (ahem, all) of my weight back and I've gotten really depressed about it--I need to buckle down and rein it in--after all, I need to get back to skinny before the holidays!
