But since I couldn't really call at 5:30 am I went anyway. It turned out that my "stomach flu" as nothing more than Dreading a workout which turned out to be really great.

I try not to yell at myself when I over eat, but love myself and enjoy the pleasure. But be mindful, like you say.<BR/><BR/>I find sometimes some rules helps me to get my portion control back, but yes, Rachel I love to buck my own rules! <BR/><BR/>I don't have as much problem with the workouts now becuase they are habit and often social, so I get lots of good kudos from them, once I get out the door!<BR/><BR/>But I did go on strike for workouts for no good reason the lsat 4 day. ha ha<BR/><BR/>Aren't we humans so weird?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889299687693914699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4867962441941754804.post-31632228705138703012009-01-12T12:53:00.000-06:002009-01-12T12:53:00.000-06:00Great list, Leonie.

I have the hardest time not eating if I want to, even when I'm full. <BR/><BR/>Do you ever find that once you commit to something you don't want to do, it's worse than not committing to it?

Why is that?Rachel Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380102765239568413noreply@blogger.com
