Forming New Habits


I’ve been working with coach, and he has given me some great advice. I have been texting him what I eat and he helps me tweak it, here and there so I can form better habits. I have cut back drastically on cheese. I always loved cheese and put it on everything. I’ve learned it was all in my head. Every once in a while is fine, but on the normal day to day, I have found it’s not that hard to go without it.
The challenge is going to be in the fact that I am a picky eater. I don’t like tomatoes or peppers. I can eat salads, but I am rarely very fond of them. I am, also, still struggling with making the time to cook something. Yesterday, I only ate twice and the second time I was on the go. Busy days make it a little tougher sometimes. Trying to decide what the best choice is when you are on the go, then getting distracted by life, I will forget to eat and end up missing a meal all together causing me to start the process all over, again, only too hungry to care if it is a great decision. I am, however, allowing the process. I cut myself a little slack because I am learning. This is all new to me. Mistakes are something to learn from, not beat yourself up over. The latter only leads to a negative experience, then you just feel bad about yourself and are more prone to give up. If you slip up, you slip up, that doesn’t mean start over on Monday, that means go ahead and try, again for your next meal. Eventually, I will have better habits. Heck they are already better than they were a month ago. I am confident that, in time, I will get the hang of it.
