Self Sabotage

+1.6 lbs 
After recommitting at the new year, all I have to show for it is a gain. Between pizza over the weekend and fried food at Applebee’s I’m not sure why I can’t get myself to stick to the plan. I know I have flex points, but these choices were after flex points were gone! It just makes me mad at myself. I’ve done it before; there’s no reason I can’t do it again. My challenge for the next 4 months is going to be time alone at home. My husband is trying to finish up his last few classes to graduate so he is gone every night until late at classes. Being home alone means I don’t really cook a meal and end up just grazing and losing track of what I’m eating. Today has been pretty good. I’m 2 points over my daily target (26/24) but I’m going to dance practice later to make up for it. I think I need to start planning out some meals and cooking real dinners at night.. even if it’s just for me.

I totally feel for you. My hardest days are in the evenings when hubby isn’t home. I’ve been trying to make up an extra meal and freeze a single portion for those nights. Or sometimes just make a big salad and have soup or make a sandwich. But I try to make myself sit down and eat a “dinner” instead of just grazing through the evening.
Good luck.
