Stupid self control...

UUUGGGGHHH!!!! I hate that I have absolutely no self control! This past month I've been trying to do better at being healthy-eating better, going to the gym, etc. For a while I was doing really well and I even lost 5 pounds. This past week though...it's been tough...I don't know what's so different about this past week...it seems the same as every other week...but I find myself falling back into my old habits of over eating and staying up way too late. Then, of course I have no energy the next day and I feel like crap! Not to mention the 2 pounds I gained back... Obviously it's not a matter of not knowing what's best for me, because I do. I just choose not to do it. Why do I do that?! It makes absolutely no sense! It goes against everything I'm working for right now! I hear myself in my head as I reach for those pringles..."why am I eating this? I'm not hungry...I really shouldn't eat this..." and yet, I do! Why?! Why can't I just do what I know is best? Honestly, I think the worst part is that I don't feel better when I do this to myself. I feel great when I'm healthy and I have a good workout, and I feel good about myself! But when I loose my self-control, it makes it worse, not better! I feel worse! And not just mentally, I feel physically....uh...well, blah. ugh...I guess I just need to suck it up and do my best. Maybe since I have now admitted my weakness I'll be less apt to do it again :) one can hope right?

  1. Come on Brit ~ You can do it!! You were inspiring me in my blog! You set a good example! Self-control is a hard thing to grab a hold of and I need to keep it in check too! Hang onto that memory of feeling great and your conscience will remind you and will make you feel bad. Then you'll think "I don't want to feel bad - I'm going to go to the gym and not eat those pringles!" Lol. HOPE IS A GOOD THING :-)
