Let's Re-evaluate...

I don’t have anything to do at work this week besides think about my weight loss goals while constantly trying to fight off cravings. I actually think my job may be hazardous to my health, as I eat in order to stay awake and to avoid boredom as much as I can. Seriously, today, I ate my lunch BEFORE lunch, and AT lunch I ate my snack because I had nothing else to eat. I am getting so sick of having to think of things to make for lunch that I bring hardly anything – not smart, Bella, not smart.

Anyway, one of the main thoughts of the past week has been this whole “quitting chocolate” thing. Thing is, if I tell myself I can’t have something, it makes me want it more. I have a major issue with “no one can tell ME what to do”. Apparently that includes what I tell myself, as well. So, after much deliberation, I have decided that I will seriously limit my chocolate intake, but I will still allow myself to have it.

I bought a bag of Lindt chocolate squares and a box of those 100 calorie Cadbury Dairy Thins, which I have stored in my freezer, in the back, only to be enjoyed in moderation. I have a Dairy Thin after lunch and a Lindt chocolate square after dinner. This is my first night doing this. I’ll let you know how it goes – that is, if I don’t end up in a sugar-induced coma as a result of bingeing on my beloved chocolate that I haven’t had in…one day. Please don’t judge me.

I got my foot tattoo touched up this past Tuesday, so I can’t workout for about a week. Apparently it’s not good for the tattoo to rub against anything as much as it does when I workout – found that out after half of it rubbed off about a week after getting it done. Contrary to what some of you may believe, not going to the gym is maddening!

Anyway, that’s where I am right now on my journey to being lovely and thin on my first trip of 2010 – the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games.

Send skinny vibes!!

Love,

Bella
