Above is a pic from the course I run here in Albuquerque.I got sick over this weekend with a cold which includes congestion and a sore throat. So on Saturday, I thought I'd make chicken soup so I went to the store to get ingredients and came across some french bread so I also decided to make make sandwiches for lunch. Low and behold, I end up eating the entire french bread and also a dozen chocolate chip cookies which were only $2. :S I have no self control. I think the best option for me is to not buy these things at the store and tell myself, no. I knowingly knew I was doing something wrong and I still did it? Why? Haha.
So after this I get up on Sunday feeling worst than Saturday, I decide to do my long run of 10 miles. Woohoo! But afterwards my brother invites me to his barbeque and once again, I overeat! I had some steak, hot dogs, baked potatoes and corn chips with dip. Oh and for dessert, cake. Who doesn't like cake. I have like three slices though. I think my brother and cousin's hospitality contributed to this because they kept saying. Do you want some of this? Have some more. There is plenty. The Navajo way of treating your guests. Culturally, I don't want to offend so I can't say no. But next time, I'm sure they would understand if I do decline. But I still kept on eating and eating. Why? Haha.
Life is a learning process and one thing I did notice while gorging is that one distint moment when my body told me. "Stop, I'm full." I remember this feeling which I honestly never noticed before. But I kept on eating. Had I stopped at that moment, everything would've been fine. So my goal for next weekend is to stay on track and to listen to my body if I find myself in the same situation. But the thing is, I don't feel really guilty or bad as I did during previous situations. Maybe it's because I find myself doing this often and I do recover but with time. The problem is that time is luxury I don't have since March is just around the corner.
So the lesson is to practice more self-control and listen to your mind and body! It's harder than it seems.
