I can help you! Ok, so you ate donuts today. That is now in the past. Move forward...your next healthy meal or snack is just around the corner and eating donuts today doesn't have to make you overeat the whole day or for the rest of the week. You also did an hour of Zumba which will counteract lots of calories! Much better than just lying around and eating all day! I also struggle with eating. I enjoy eating. I do not eat to live, rather I live to eat. But I also follow Weight Watchers, and no food is forbidden. I have learned how to behave around food and how to have a little of this, a little of that and be satisfied. I also try not to eat until I'm completely stuffed. That also helps because I feel a lot better doing things that way. I do indulge on occasions, and there are so many of those this month but I know that I am in control of my choices. Exercise has never been my problem. I love to exercise. The food is the biggest challenge. I tend to be at the high end of my healthy weight range for my height. I wish I could maintain a little lower, but not sure if that will happen. Another thing to remember, which is so important...the exercise you are doing has its positive effects on your outside appearance, yes, but it has an even more positive effect on what you cannot see...your overall health! And one more thing...you are ultimately in control, even if people try to say things like "oh, you can afford it just have one or two". No one has walked in anyone else's shoes and no one has the right to force you to eat a certain way or to question how or what you are eating, whether it's lettuce and water in front of people or donuts. It is none of anyone's business. I find that sometimes when people know I'm a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, they question me if they see me eat a piece of cake at a party or something. I don't like having to explain that I can work anything into a day and not technically fall of the wagon. Further, if someone offers you a food it is perfectly respectful to say no thank you.
