Little Cracks

"Those little decisions that you make every day have the biggest impact." -Michelle Bridges

The latest video from Mish really struck a cord with me as it really made me think about the cracks that have started to form in my regime and why these unhealthy habits are beginning to creep in from time to time. I must admit that since I got sick ice cream has crept back into my life (not in huge amounts mind you but when I do eat it it's replacing a much healthier & nutritious option--- yoghurt). I've also been letting myself eat treats when I'm around other people, such as consuming huge amounts of diet coke when I'm with my partner and allowing myself to eat some of the cake that my father serves us for Sunday afternoon tea. I also have issues planning lunch at uni & from time to time choose a less-healthy option at the cafe.

Other than this I have been consistently skipping my SSS. This was a decision I made however because my weight was dropping too quickly & too low. Really when it comes down to it this is the reason for most of my other decisions too. I think if I'd had difficulty losing the weight & if it didn't keep on dropping off I would be a lot stricter with myself. I almost feel the need to eat extra calories to stop my weight falling!

This however is no excuse for choosing unhealthy food with little nutritional value. I should be fuelling my body with the best possible options & this is something I wholly intend to do in the future. As such I have some new food-related goals for myself this round:

  • I am only allowed either one sliver of cake or one ice cream in the next 3 weeks; I must report when/if I use this opportunity. All other dessert items should be yoghurt.
  • I am not allowed any diet coke in the next 3 weeks.
  • I must only purchase sushi if eating lunch at uni.
