Day 3 of 100

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

After having such an awesome day with my food yesterday, I finished it off by going to the fridge at 11pm as I was thirsty but instead I saw the creamed rice sitting on the shelf and processed to eat the remaining contents (about 1/2 a can)!

Not the worse food in the world, but I didn't need it at all! I wasn't thinking, "hmmm I feel like creamed rice", I wasn't craving it and I wasn't even hungry! I just saw it and thought YUM, I'll have a spoon of that, but contained till the contents where all gone. I didn't even have a drink in the end!!!!!

WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF???? I will try and learn from this by making myself aware that I see something and eat it, even if I don't need it.

I am now making myself aware of this action and saying it out loud. I will think twice before doing it next time. Do I really need to eat? No, I don't need to eat just because it's on offer. I don't need to eat something just because I can. I need to stay focused and I need to look after my body as if its a temple to worship. Better still I WILL STAY FOCUSED!

Day 3 itself, hasn't been too bad. I have eaten well, but I could still drink more water. I have taken a liking to soda water with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a few slices of lemon. I just need to drink more of it. I think I will reintroduce the timed water bottle idea. It helped me stay on track with my water intake in the past.

This was the key to my success with water intake in the past.
I only used one bottle and refilled it once I had completed my morning intake.
It was marked with morning times on one side and afternoon times on the other

We went out for dinner tonight, which can be a challenge in itself. Nonetheless, I was prepared and made sure not to over eat during the day to help cater for this. I chose Salt and Pepper Lobster with Asian Salad, which was adorable. However, I did eat some more HOT CHIPS!!! I do struggle with hot chips, they are a weakness of mine. Next time I will ask that chips are NOT put on my plate! Reduce the temptation.

I know its only day 3, but I am finding that writing this blog is already helping my way of thinking. Yes, I am still making mistakes and struggling with my poor habits, but I am thinking about my actions. I will finish tonight with the thought that, thinking is a powerful tool and weight loss is 100% a mental challenge. Your body won't go where you mind doesn't push it. So challenge your way of thinking towards food each and everyday guys.
