Fasting Journal : Shopping day.

in fasting •  6 years ago 

Although I did not do good on my intermittent fasting, I did really well at the grocery store.

I may have mentioned this before, but I really don't have a lot of will power. Between my abusive and deprived childhood, the injuries I had which still pain me greatly, and the metabolic damage caused by years of vegetarianism (including the ever present cancer), it's pretty easy for me to just say, "Hell, I deserve a little treat."

This always goes horribly wrong.

So the only way I can prevent myself from going way overboard, is to cut things out completely. I'm just an all-or-nothing kind of guy. So because I indulged in too many macadamia nuts last week, I had to resist the temptation to get more this week. So that explains the failure at IF today. I had a huge breakfast before I left for shopping. I didn't want any temptation to be aggravated by actual hunger.

So that worked. No macadamias. Also my planning and organizing went much better than normal. I now have exactly enough groceries for 8 days of 20/4 or OMAD Pastoral Diet meals.
