This is a true Stalker Foods story. It’s MY story…
There were delectable treats hiding in the shadows. They lurked in every dark corner. Whispering. Waiting for me to let my guard down and openly welcome the indulgence in excess.
This has been going for a few days now. I’m being harassed by stalker foods, and while I can’t necessarily escape the temptation, I can still control the outcome. All of the recent foods that have stalked me in the shadows have gone onto my Reverse Food Journal instead of into my stomachs.
Excessive carbohydrates are NOT in line with my fitness goals. Neither is a fried brownie as big as my head with ice cream on top (yep, I wanted one of those). Cheese curls and two different kinds of chocolate chip cookies — Famous Amos and Chips Ahoy — also went on my Reverse Food Journal. Because I didn’t eat any of it.
Journaling my refusal of these greedy foods has encouraged me to stay on track and put more wind in my sails to stay in control. The foods that earn a place on my Reverse Journal serve as a reminder of what could’ve been if I had just let all that food overtake me. And “what could’ve been” includes guilt, weight gain and delayed fitness progress. Oh, hell naw!
But I did happen to enjoy sharing a decadent slice of cheesecake with the husband during our nice weekend lunch outing. That was a controlled decision. And that’s way it should be.
If you happen to enjoy a delectable treat this week, let it be out of good decision making, not because of harassing temptation. I trust you know the difference.
