In which the battle between Good and Evil continues

I have started and deleted this post so many times I’ve lost count.

The title? Things get worse? Is scarily true because last week was not my best for so many reasons, but I have Willpower and it is demanding I post something, even if it’s a bit of whining.

So here we go.

I had been doing so well with my diet, and by diet I mean way of eating. Cutting back on sugary, processed foods mostly. Replacing the unhealthy snacks with nuts and veggies and fruit. Right up until I had a stressful day at work and shoved junk food in my mouth like it was my job. And did it again the next day. I got it under control, but then I needed to start over and sugary, processed foods are addictive…

It isn’t that I’m not losing weight. It’s slow, so so slow and I have no patience for this, but I have to because I want to feel better and I know much of what I need to do to make that happen.

Sometimes it’s made harder by my job and the amount of free food available after meetings or events or when someone in the office bakes and leaves a tray of goodies in the breakroom…

My taller half has the unenviable task of telling me when I am “grazing” – mindlessly eating (overeating) and dealing with my annoyance…when I was the one who asked him to point it out in the first place. I’ve been doing better, smaller portions, healthier options, it helps, but when I finish my snack and realize I barely tasted it because I wasn’t paying attention? That’s on the bad side.

I haven’t written in my journal at all, and that means I haven’t been tracking my food or paying attention to my overall heath, body and mind. 

So the script is chugging along just like it’s supposed to, but I had really been hoping to prove it wrong. Considering I’m posting this on Thursday evening and not for Monday morning past, the next post might be much like this one. Fortunately, there’s still time to get it right.

Stay tuned for next week for ACT THREE: CHARACTERS FEEL LIKE FAILURES + TICKING CLOCK

In Which Evil appears to be winning while Good eats a cookie
