Ease up already

I've been telling you this week about how I am disappointed in my food choices. I usually eat 7 of my 49 Weekly Allowance Points each day so that I am never feeling deprived or feeling stuffed.  This week has been different.  I ate more than my allotted 7 each day so that I will be ending my week with little to no allowance points left.  This was disappointing to me because dividing my points into daily allowances has worked well for me lately.  Why would I screw that system up by changing things this week?

It's been bothering me and making me feel like I have been cheating.  Today I realized that I have not been cheating.  I have just tweaked my system a bit.  I need to ease up on myself.  I need to stop being so hard on myself.  I can change things occasionally and still be on plan. I have been on plan.  I haven't gone over my weekly points at all this week.  I still have both my daily points left for each day plus some of weekly points.  That is certainly not failure.

I was on plan today and feel good about it.  I used all of my daily points as well as some of my weekly points and feel satisfied now that my day is done.

I hope you all had a great day too.  Be forgiving of yourselves.  Be flexible.

"Now the Lord said to Abram, 'Go from your country and your kindred and your fathers's house to the land that I will show you.  I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in your all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'" Genesis 12:1-3
