Wednesday Blues
I’ve heard Wednesday called ‘hump’ day; which ignites my inner twelve-year-old but, ok let’s assume Wednesday is a good day to call “middle of the week” or a great day to energize our diet.
So, here we are on yet another Wednesday. My weekend was wrought with too many carbs and my days since have been filled with guilt over my carb indulgence. I have done well for the past few days again removing carbs from my diet to focus on proteins and good vegtables. I thought I might stop here and say that ‘dieting’ is exhausting. I wish living a healthy life didn’t require so many plans, concessions, and down right sacrafices. God, why can’t I just eat what I want? Ok, rant over.
Couple tips for making it past the Wednesday “Blues”.
Of course all this sounds good in theory right. But what happens if your boss is being a jerk? What happen if your spouse is being a jerk? What happens if your kids are driving you crazy? Would anyone begrudge you a pint of ice cream? Certainly not. Or maybe a king size chocolate bar? Why heavens no. Nobody, would dare say you don’t deserve to treat yourself. But, the real question is “how are you treating yourself?” Is chocolate really a reward? (I mean it can in certain countries I am sure it is used for currency but, let us be honest chocolate is not a reward. It is an unhealthy snack that brings a psuedo feeling of comfort).
I heard once that scientist say that “love” has the same chemical reaction in the body as a person eating chocolate. I personally think this great marketing for guys who want to get lucky with a box of chocolate as a “buy” in. Don’t be fooled girls…don’t mistake chocolate for love or love of chocolate as the same thing.
Here is my easy-way-out motto: if you don’t buy you can’t eat it.
Treat yourself like gold and you will feel like it. Treat yourself like garbage and you will eat garbage. True weightloss is linked to self-image and positive thinking.
Put the chocolate down and back away before someone gets hurt.
-Bo.
