Thanks in your confidence in my stitching abilities relating to yesterday’s put up! I used to be SO certain the belt was going to be a nightmare to make, however I used to be type of shocked at how comparatively simply it got here collectively. I did not suppose I used to be going to have the ability to sew the faux leather-based with my stitching machine and there was no means I needed to try this by hand. I attempted a really giant needle on the machine and it labored nice!
I will put up pictures of it tomorrow; I will (attempt to) stain it darker. For what I needed to work with, and on this time crunch, I am fairly pleased with it.
Anyway, I sound increasingly more like a damaged report every week after I do my Wednesday Weigh-In… “I needed a very good week, I am attempting, it is laborious, blah blah blah”. And at present is not any totally different. I’ve been struggling so laborious with sugar cravings, and it began so way back (actually proper after I wrote a put up about how consuming sugar triggers my cravings). As soon as sugar is out of my system, I really feel nice and it is simple to not eat it. It is attending to that point–which takes about 4 days–that is killer.
This week was notably tough and I caved in and ate extra Oreos than I care to confess. (It was that Reddit put up I shared just lately that obtained me considering of Oreos!) I *know* I should not do this. I *know* it simply makes cravings one million instances worse. It is nothing new to me… however I simply have not been in a position to say no!
I’ve averted the dimensions and I really selected to not weigh in at present. I do know that avoiding the quantity is not going to vary anything–it is what it is–but I simply did not wish to do it. My denims really feel very tight, so I do know that I’ve gained weight. At this measurement, even a number of kilos may be very noticeable in my garments.
The half that bothers me probably the most, although, is how I really feel. Even when the dimensions hasn’t moved, I simply do not *really feel* good with the best way I have been consuming.
What am I going to do about it? Simply hold attempting. I can’t purchase extra Oreos; my foremost focus goes to be getting the sugar out of my system. I simply wish to cease craving it, and the one means to try this is to go with out for a short time. And hopefully, I’ll have realized my lesson for good this time. (What number of instances have I mentioned that?) I had no concept simply how laborious the cycle could be to cease.
My temper has been good, fortunately! The consuming is not for emotional causes and I am not binge consuming; I’ve simply been craving sweets in a horrible means. I do know what the issue is and I understand how to repair it… I simply want the self-discipline to DO IT. I do know it is there inside me someplace, so now I simply have to search out it.
Over the previous few weeks, I additionally stopped a number of of the habits I used to be engaged on (I am nonetheless doing most of them, although) and I wish to get again to monitoring these like I used to be earlier than. I’ve nonetheless been operating each morning and I believe that is been serving to with protecting my temper steady. I’ve gotten into a fantastic morning routine.
Now, I might prefer to work the opposite habits into the routine with slightly extra planning by way of “behavior stacking”. Behavior stacking (which I realized about within the Atomic Habits guide) is the place you do the brand new behavior both proper earlier than or proper after one other established behavior). I discovered that the habits I’ve maintained are those that I’ve stacked.
Having a routine is tremendous useful with my consuming habits as nicely, so hopefully it will assist me get although the robust elements after I’m craving Oreos (or different sweets).
Anyway, I promised myself way back that I would not skip two weekly weigh-ins in a row, so I will weigh in subsequent week it doesn’t matter what. Possibly protecting that in thoughts can be what I want this week 😉
