It's that time of the year for us uni students: finals. I've been slacking in the past 1-2 weeks with the diet with several cheat days, luckily not gaining much but not losing anything either. I'd like to blame it on the stress of finals, but I also know I could be doing better.
Anyway, today I had decided I'd jump back on the diet, but as the day went by, 6 hours of studying can change your mind about things. I was contemplating ordering chinese from my favorite restaurant for like an hour, and I almost did, but then I put my phone down... and then picked it back up and ordered it. I was excited about it because I hadn't had it in several months, and started driving to pick it up. It was about a 12 minute drive there plus 12 min back, which means I had 24 minutes to think about this choice I'd made.
I began to be disappointed in myself for caving since I said I'd get back on the diet but I also didn't want to waste the food (an excuse I've often made after making a poor decision and having food leftover). But, once I got home, I made a decision I didn't know I was capable of. With the food actually in front of me, I called my sister who's really supported me throughout this process, and told her about the situation. I knew I didn't want to eat it but I needed that extra boost to solidify that decision. Ultimately, I decided NOT to eat any of it, and gave it to my roommate instead.
I was afraid this diet was going down a slippery slope, but this event has renewed my faith in MYSELF to be able to complete it. Also, I just wanted to thank you all for helping me by just always supporting everyone and also the contests you run! The Mario challenge was a GREAT way to kickoff the weight loss journey for me!
