Sometimes, I just get plain ol' tired. I don't want to go to work. I don't want to think about eating healthy. I don't want to make any choices. I don't want to do anything but curl up in bed and SLEEP!
It's for days like this that I have been working hard these past few months to create HABITS so that I can pack a lunch without thinking too much about it. Some no-sugar added applesauce, a couple of cheesesticks, some nuts. I keep these things on hand - and it really makes my life a lot easier. A tiny bit of leftover lasagna from Olive Garden, and some cheese crackers - and lunch (plus snacks for the day) is done.
In the past, I would have just not bothered. And by lunchtime, I would be starving - so then I would grab something from the sandwich shop downstairs - and most likely it would not have been something good for me. Or worse - I would have just skipped eating all together all day long - then gone way overboard at suppertime and into the evening.
When I decided to have this surgery, I decided to make a lifestyle change. Not just for when I felt like it - but for every day - every choice. Do I always follow through? Not at all, but as time goes by, I find that the times I choose correctly far outweigh the times I make bad choices, just like my former self far outweighs the person I am now.
