Relationships: Love
Why do you want to do this?
I have had an on again, off again, relationship. It's an addictive one of sorts and I can't seem to kick it. It usually happens on my way to work in the morning and my, Hostess Donuts 6-pack, calls my name and I come a-runnin'. I have enjoyed these fancy treats since I was a child. My parents would by a bag of them and I'd have a couple in the morning sometimes. As I got older and was in college, I would sneak one, two or three of these mini-delights throughout the day.
Now I'm wasted $1.50 a visit for these addictive treats. I love them, and I will miss them, but they have to go. I have plateaued on my weight loss for a few months now. Part of it may be related to the fact that I've been trying to overcome my back issue and haven't been able to exercise like I was but the other part is my nasty breakfast habit.
What three things will you need to make this happen?
More time in the morning. If I could fill up on cereal and a banana, I won't even be hungry enough for these things and I won't replace them with fast food junk either. ... this means I need to get up earlier than the current 5:30ish I've been doing.
Ignorance of the "voice." These donuts have the sweetest voice right before I get them. If I manage to not pick them up, sounds of anger are heard from miles away about how my morning will not go as smoothly as it could have if I indulged in my long-lasting relationship.
Treating myself to something else once in awhile. I've managed to kick a lot of bad eating habits in my life but this one has been the hardest. I may need to fill that void with something else.
What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?
It's hard to end a 30 plus year relationship! The biggest barrier?... not indulging in the addictive sweet that I have longed for and loved for most of my life.
