Tis the Season…
Staying on track with my lower carb/keto lifestyle has been something I have had to truly focus on and dedicate myself to. Please don’t take that sentence lightly. I have been surrounded by cakes, cookies, pies and mashed potatoes with extra gravy. Tis the season for Thanksgiving pies and Snickerdoodle cookies!
Besides the entourage of treats sitting on the desk at work, given to me by my neighbors, cooked by my family, I also have the stresses of client gifts. I am SURROUNDED by the ability to make a poor choice every second of every day from saturday before Halloween until Jan 2nd. That is a LONG 3 months. Very very long 3 months.
It isn’t just the physical stressors of seeing the food everywhere, it is the mental and emotional stressors of having person after person telling me how I deserve a break…or one cookie won’t kill me. I am thin enough…etc.
I have made a conscious decision I am worth being healthy and dedication is not always the easiest thing to do but for me it is the right thing to do.
