Unfortunately
yesterday evening I overate again… this overeating Saturday evening has become
a vile habit… I was confident that this week I would lick it, but I didn’t
completely. But I am not giving up and I have to try to think up some strategy
that will work.
It’s as if a
sudden mood of madness envelopes me.
Thinking deeper, I
think that it is related to being on the computer late at night, which is often
a trigger for overeating for me. I always get plenty of sleep Friday evening
plus a nap on Saturday, so I am wide awake at 10 PM. So I get on the computer,
and the snacking begins.
PLAN:
1)
Set a clock by the computer
with a firm resolution not to go beyond a set time. No watching true crime
shows (WHY in heaven’s name do I even WATCH this junk??? The plot is always the
same: spouse kills partner due to lover…. BLEECH). I will need to push off ALL non-essential
computer stuff until Sunday day.
2)
Don’t rely on my general “be-good
before and during-the-holidays-prize” that I have lined up. (Which is expensive
enough that it SHOULD be doing the trick, but it isn’t.) Choose a prize to
enjoy Sunday if I do OK.
3)
After set time on computer
finishes, read a book in BED.
I really am determined that now is the time
to finally get rid of the last two-three kilos to get to the upper limit of my maintenance
weight range. And preferably, I want to reach a few kilos below that. I plan to maintain my weight over the upcoming
holidays (which will be a feat in itself; I always gain holiday time….), and thenover the next month and a half after that to lose and get into, finally, my goal weight range. It’s
about time.
