I have failed terribly at keeping myself at bay with my healthy foods. It began a couple weeks ago when we ate out. I got healthy food compared to the rest of the gang. Then, I took a bite of my partner's lunch and that was it.
Salt, fat and sugar are like crack. They are addicting. I am an addict. A food addict. It seems that once those three vices move past my taste buds, down my throat and get transferred throughout my blood stream, I am as helpless as a junkie trying to give up their drugs. My legs have since swollen up once again and my health has gone down. I am presently on anti-biotics due to a severe ear infection. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't back tracked. My immune system wouldn't have gotten weaker and I would have been able to keep myself healthy.
Now, I have gained back the water weight that I had lost. My ankles are no where to be seen again and I feel pretty crappy. I even broke down and got macaroni and cheese and hot dogs for my kids because I haven't been in the mood to cook healthy the past week. Having no money doesn't help either.
I have to get back to my resolve. I have to. I have to realize that this unhealthy eating is toxic to my mind and my body. I loved feeling lighter and thinner even though I was still the size of a whale. I felt less full. Light on my feet and I had no ankle pain. This is typical of me. Throughout my whole life I have started out strong and weakened at the end. My family isn't very enthusiastic about becoming healthy people. This makes it very difficult for me.
I need to look in the mirror each day and tell myself I am worth it. I am worth it. Maybe if I say it enough times, I will believe it. Just maybe.
