Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 12
The battle against dinner time carbohydrates continues. If you follow the thinking that practicing self-compassion is better, I should throw the feelings of anger, disappointment and embarrassment into a box and put it aside.
If I do that, I’m left wondering what mechanisms in the body are causing the discomfort that seems to demand the intake of whatever carbohydrates are lying around. (Obvious process improvement: don’t have them lying around.)
The self talk and planning from early in the day went out the door when I arrived home. I did manage to shut down intake by 8 PM.
One thought is to use the meditate app before dealing with anything in the kitchen. I had an interesting experience with the app. I had taken my son to dance class last night and was sitting at the Starbucks with a course chapter to review. My mind was all over the place, so I plugged into the app and tried to do a meditation even though I could not fully close my eyes in such a public space. 13 minutes later I was calmer and able to focus.
Despite my trouble sticking to plan, it seems that I’m changing for the better. My size 42 pants are not staying up at all without a belt, which means when I next shop, I need to buy size 40. I can’t tell you when I last even attempted to try on that size.
