Chocolate TKO

Day 27

I tried folks. I really did. I fought that chocolate craving ALL day long. But, in the end I went down in a TKO succumbing to a mini Peppermint Patty. And you know what? That thing didn't taste all that good! It just made me feel bad about myself. 

I spent hours thinking I'd screwed my whole day. But, I logged all of my food into sparkpeople for a sanity check and, to my wondrous surprise, I'm WELL within my nutritional guidelines for the day. The slip does go against my clean eating aspirations and I'll have to keep working on that. But, I have done nothing to negate my weight loss efforts. And, that's a good thing.

What's not good is the fact that I still seem to be having that internal struggle. I definitely tried to overcome my chocolate craving by eating other stuff. At least, my subsitutes were healthy items. But, it doesn't change the fact that I would have eaten less overall if I'd just had the chocolate. Instead, I tortured myself all day and still had the chocolate.

Remember... Stumble don't Tumble. I stumbled. it's ok. I'm human. Did you stumble today? Did you do or say or eat something you wish you hadn't? It's ok. You're human too. Forgive yourself. Say "I'm sorry" if you need to and move on. I can't change what I did and neither can you. But, we can move forward having learned from our transgressions.

Cheers!
