Realized I'm not going to be able to depend on PBJ sandwiches much longer. So when I got home today, I actually cooked a real meal. It's been one of those days where I can see how far discipline will take me if I can just apply it on a consistent basis.
I feel confident going into this. I've never attempted anything so big and yet I know I can do it. I just have to take it one moment at a time.
I just feel so relieved thinking of living my life without junk food. All that conflict and guilt that goes into deciding whether I should eat something or not. Just knowing that it's not an option sounds very liberating. I know that must sound weird.
Really I'm just trying to go into this with an experimental spirit. I want to learn from this experience. I don't know what challenges await me on the journey but I feel like this past year has prepared me.
I'm starting to set up mini-rewards along my journey, since a year can seem so far off in the future. My reward for sticking to the plan for January is a bath pillow. Part of the fun of this will be identifying little rewards.
