It is that time again; you are running around
attempting to get a million things done. You do not have time to prepare your
usual healthy meal, so what do you grab? For me it is something sweet and
portable.
This past weekend we celebrated my daughter’s
first birthday. While I succeeded in my goal of letting go of perfection, I still
had tons of prep work to complete. Lucky for me my planning ahead of having the
cupcakes baked and ready to frost for Saturday morning would lend itself well
to having a tasty snack to get me through the morning (and afternoon, evening,
breakfast….)
Are you a binger like me? I am able to display
self-control most of the time. But add a combination of stress and sweets and
all bets are off. As I am stuffing my face with all sorts of sweet goodness, I
tell myself “back to being healthy Monday”. I find that I justify this to
myself by remembering my diet has significantly improved over the years. I find
a good binge now and then reinforces my healthy habits. And after eating sweet empty calories for
a couple of day’s wrecks havoc on my body and I begin to crave that nutritious
healthy food again.
I challenge you to notice what is happening in
your life when you crave your desserts. I also challenge you to forgive
yourself when you binge. Enjoy that cupcake (or three) and set your date to
bring yourself back to healthy. Mine is tomorrow.
