Okay, so it is not a secret that sweets are not my downfall. Lasagna? Yes. Cheeseburgers? Yes. Sweets...not so much. However, what I find interesting is that when I start to get serious about watching what I'm eating - especially my refined carbs - it's like I suddenly develop a sweet tooth. Some might call it weird...I just plain out call it the devil. ha!
Well, that last few nights, I've found the perfect thing to put that to rest: one half cup of cottage cheese. Seriously. I measure it out and eat it out of the measuring cup so that I don't cheat. Yes, seriously. Now, I realize that some of you might not like cottage cheese and well, I'm sorry for that, because it is doing the trick for me.
Today - on this 5th day of the year - I am still feeling encouraged. I really do think that your mindset goes a long way towards reaching your goals. I'm going to savor the moments of strength in preparation for days that may be harder in the future. Yeah, I know I'm only five days in, but I haven't seriously considered "cheating" at all in those 5 days, and that says a lot. I think I've realized this time that the only person being cheated is me when I continue to make poor choices.
This is a healthier beautiful life.
