HAPPY EASTER
I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter weekend. May your weekend be filled with many blessings! TBH I am NOT looking forward to Easter this year being I am on my detox. It's hard sitting around a table where everyone's plates are filled with yummy food that smells and tastes amazing yet I can't indulge in, and to see all the chocolate and goodies for dessert and the "stash" the "Easter Bunny" hide outside at Oma and Opa's for the kids - ohhhhhh this is going to be a TEST! In the past I would always say "oh I'll just have something as it's Easter", than it would be another holiday or celebration that I would use the famous excuse for. I have to learn to stop making excuses and remember how I feel when I make those unhealthy choices. This weekend will be full of many "battles in my mind" I am sure, but I am going to MAKE myself stick to it . I find if I "Pre Plan" and bring some food I can eat and pack a dessert I can have, than things go a lot smoother. My Chocolate smoothie or chocolate pudding may not look/taste as good as the chocolate sitting on the table BUT I know I will feel 10x better after choosing mine than the other, and I will be proud of myself as well, which in turn is worth it in the end. I know it's not going to be an easy task but I CAN do it!
Remember, if you are trying to eat healthier, pre pack snacks, meals, desserts for outings - better to have something there you can eat than go hungry and binge on unhealthy choices there or when you get home. I am guessing each time will get easier and soon it will just be habit to bring my own foods. Who knows maybe one of these times I'll even convince my whole family to try my foods......LOL ....or not !!
Enjoy your Easter Weekend everyone and remember to smile at everyone you meet as you never know who is spending this weekend alone while we are fortunate to have loved ones around.
