FOCUS ON THE TARGET

For months and months, I have been deluding myself into thinking that I could eat with reckless abandon as long as I matched my oversized appetite with hours and hours of exercise. Intellectually, I know it really doesn't work that way. Turns out, I am not an intellectual. Presently, I have no choice but to cut down my calories with all exercise removed from my daily routine. It is hard to abstain from eating when one feels the pangs of hunger. However, all those failures to resist add up. I am in the beginning of a recovery from an annoying groin pull. My attempt to walk (slowly) on a treadmill a few days ago was ill-advised. I am taking very seriously my shutdown from strenuous activity. In concert with this, I am taking very seriously my return to a low calorie existence. It is definitely not as much fun to withhold the joy of eating - but I feel as if I have no choice. I have no desire to continue going backwards while I am sidelined. My lunch saw my return to Jimmy John's for a delicious, healthy, low calorie Roast Beef & Turkey Unwich (#14 BOOTLEGGER).  It has probably been nearly one year since I have had one of these. I had forgotten how tasty they can be. My inability to exercise has helped me focus on hitting the target - weight loss.
