Disgusted with Myself

[Jachut 487]

See if you can turn it around the opposite train of thought - throughout my cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery over the past year, I have stuck faithfully to a heatlhy eating plan (whilst totally unfilled) and continued to run and go to the gym through radiation, chemotherapy and several hospitalisations for bowel obstructions.

Am I some superhuman, morally superior being? Nope. It was the one thing in that horrible time that I felt I could control. I would NOT let stupid cancer take away all I had worked for and if I was going to die, I was going to do it looking freaking great. So there, cancer!

Taking control over your body like that really does get you through tough times. Giving in, backsliding, gaining, it makes you feel even more sad and hopeless and does nothing to help you get through the stress and come out the other side. Harness that strength and you will find it spreads to whatever it is you're battling too.

I have been eating horribly the past few days. And since it is getting cold have not been walking. My mom bought my family ice cream sandwiches and I am eating 2-4 at a time. On MyFitnessPal I have already gone over my calories. Anyhow reading all these posts has helped me to not beat up myself. It is still no excuse for my eating and I just need to say no. But tomorrow is a new day and my goal will be to stay out of the freezer. I will not go into it for anything. I can do this!

That's the beauty of this site, we've all been there and can sympathize! We all have our weaknesses and have to overcome them or at least remove ourselves from the environment. I through out a beautiful birthday cake this week because I was the only one eating it! I paid a fortune for it and it was divine but there was no need to sabatoge myself my keeping it in the house! You may just want to do the same thing with the icecream sandwiches. Hang in there and no that it really is a new day and looking back does you absolutely no good at all! Good luck and let us know how your day goes!
