Why, oh why can't I be comforted by carrots or celery? Why does it always have to be chocolate? For the obvious reason that chocolate tastes so much better, duh! Comfort foods, such as chocolates, cakes, cookies, ice cream, to name a few, have always been given to us from a young age as rewards for being good or doing good.
On my quest for a healthier life and being physically ready to tackle the 1/2 marathon in January, I'm having a lot of problems letting go of these treats. There are so many opportunities for "treats" that my willpower always falls short of my goals. This being said, I always find myself eating the things I shouldn't, enjoying them while I'm eating, then feeling bad because I walked and ran for nothing! Well not nothing exactly, but you get the picture. I'm changing, or trying hard to change my bad habits. Or should I say I'm going to. I just can't change everything all at once because I know that that's a sure way to fail.
Easier today then yesterday, and tomorrow will be easier still. My training partner is still down but soon we'll be training together again and maybe that's the motivation I need.
Until tomorrow...
P.S. Follow up from the other day's post...
Precious kitty is now at her forever home with "parents" that will treat her like a little princess. So very happy for her.
