I am currently drinking water in a desperate bid to get rid of the horrible feeling in my chest/tummy caused by drinking far too much full-sugar Coke today.

I need to quit this addiction. 3 weeks ago

While leading a healthier lifestyle is a noble goal, it lacks concrete goal posts. Here, I’ll define what I mean.

I will say that I have accomplished this goal when:
-I have gotten into the habit of working out 5 days a week and eating a mostly vegetable diet.
-I have ended my addictions to caffeine and nicotine
-I have gotten into the habit of meditating and writing once a day
-I have gotten into the habit of volunteering for something regularly

Once I have gotten into a habit of doing these things consistently for at least 90 days, I’ll set this goal as accomplished. 6 months ago

Why is this so hard? I do find that it’s easier to eat healthy if I excercise and do yoga. Looks like I know exactly what to do… Now just do it! 9 months ago

This morning I just thought: It’s a true December and I’m not eating healthy AT ALL. There’s Saint Nicolas candy I just binge-eat everyday, there’s all these pre-Christmas dinners in which I just eat too much…
Sigh.
I know I can start changing every second, but December is just not the month for making diet-changes. I’ll start in January. Or actually, I can just start once I’m on the plane to Jakarta. No chocolate-covered ‘pepernoten’ (Dutch Saint Nicolas treat) there! 17 months ago

When I was at Ibiza last week I had absolutely no problem whatsoever in being healthy. I didn’t eat any chocolate at all but had no craving for it either. I ate some crisps, but mostly because of the heat and the fact that eating something salty is just great. But I ate nothing out of boredom or just because it was there. In fact, we had crisps lying around without me touching them.
Why was that so easy? Now I’m back home, and it’s much harder. I notice that around 3/4 in the afternoon at work, that’s the time I’m most likely to grab a chocolatebar or something. But not even so much because I’m craving it, but because then I’m starting to get bored or starting to feel like I just want to go home. And the thing is, even though I have fruit with me, that just doesn’t have the same effect. I guess because I don’t eat because I’m hungry, I just eat because it’s there and I can.
Hm, now that I’m so concious about it, I must also be concious of the choice I have NOT to eat bad foods. Not be a slave to the junk!

And maybe I should stop working at 4 pm! ;-) 19 months ago

I keep doing well for 2 or 3 days, and then stress kicks in (work work work!) and without really noticing it, I’m eating candy and other bad things. It’s sort of like putting things in my mouth without tasting them. I hardly know I’ve eaten bad stuff until I’m done, and then it’s like ‘ugh, did I just eat all of that?’ and my tummy aches. Not good.

MUST STOP! Be more aware of what I eat, especially when I’m all stressed out!! 20 months ago

This was going well when I was doing well with my excercising. But since my ankle-injury, since I stopped excercising, me being healthy has not been great. For me these two things really work well together, so once I stop excercising, my craving for healthy food stops too.
Must pick it up again though, I saw I was gaining a bit of wait too (and I see it when I look in the mirror… :-( ).
Let’s get back to being healthy! 21 months ago
