Did eating ever actually fix the thing I ate over?
Case in Point: One of my clients told me a funny story about how she was having incredible problems with her computer one day, and in total frustration went down to the kitchen and ate an entire sleeve of Ritz crackers with peanut butter – which she supposedly has to keep in the house for one of her kids – who is away at college to boot. Two interesting insights came from that story. One: after the sleeve of Ritz and peanut butter, the computer still didn’t work! And two, no one in her household ever looked for the peanut butter and Ritz that she never replaced.
And eating because I am not yet seeing on the scale the weight I think I deserve to lose is another very common, understandable, but completely illogical response. As is eating because I did lose weight. Wait, wasn’t that what I was trying to do?
This is another time that knowing my goal weight calorie budget comes in handy. Regardless of what the scale says on a particular week, I always know what I have to do to be the weight I want to be.
