Everyone makes mistakes...

So today I did something that will shock most of you and quite possible make most of your stomachs turn.  I ate chips and cheese... Yes, yes, I know its bad for me and I can feel the fat pouring back on but I am admitting it.  Admittance is the first step and probably the biggest hurdle.  That I currently couldn't jump because I now weigh a ton! As much as this is a bad thing there is meaning behind this post.  I am not trying to just share my guilt with the world.


Everyone makes mistakes, whether it be in life, love, health or money.  When you do make a mistake though, the thing that actually makes it wrong is when you see this one little mistake as the end of all your work.  I have been trying to eat well and keep fit for nearly half a year now.  These chips and cheese are not the end of all the hard work I have put in over that time.  First step is admitting that you have done wrong, however the second and most important step is realising it is not the end.  You have to look at your mistake and see where you went wrong.  In my case it was my lack of preparation.  I came to work without lunch and my colleague bought chips and macaroni cheese.  The smell was so enticing and before I knew it BAM! there I was eating this cheesy pile of fat.  If I had planned the night before and brought in my gigantic salad like I normally do this wouldn't have happened.  Another thing that I should have resisted was "peer pressure".  No I am not blaming my colleagues for my bad decision making however I was strongly encouraged to join them in the fat eating as it is close to Christmas.  I am normally very much a "do what I want" type of girl.  This normally involves turning down alcohol or buying dresses I really shouldn't but today I gave in.


Looking back I know that I will regret this later on with probably some stomach pains and feeling bloated.  I am not happy with myself however I am not down hearted.  I am ready to get back up on my feet and go! Literally because I need to burn this off.  I have been logging everything that I eat on myfitnesspal and typing in chips and cheese will be very hard as I know I have let myself down.  I can look back at my diary and see what things I should be eating and get this problem fixed!  Feel free to add me on myfitnesspal and track my journey!  My name is ameliagourlay.
