I did not have as good a lunch as I should have, but I kept within my caloric allowance for the day. It's difficult when I can plan my lunches at work. This is a good subject for the next chapter in the book I'm reading. The book mentions having a plan in difficult situations--eating out, family get togethers, holidays, etc. My difficult situation today was being in an area and busy enough not to allow me a lot of time to eat an adequate lunch. The book mentions having a 3 point plan. Plan what you will say to yourself, what you will say to others and what you will do. Since reading this chapter, I've thought about earlier today and what I could have done to be healthier.
1. What I say to myself--I'm worth eating healthy and I will eat healthy.
2. What I say to others--I have to take a short break and get something to eat.
3. What I do--I bring something with me that is healthy and easy to eat on the go that does not require refrigeration--tuna salad and crackers kit, protein bar, etc.
Now I know what I can do if this happens again and it will. The holidays are coming up soon and I will have to develop my plan to avoid my trigger foods. According to the book, you should not only have a plan, but also rehearse it in your mind ahead of time so that it comes naturally when you are put to the test. I never thought to plan situations like this before, but I guess it's not really that uncommon. A plan is always better than being blind sided and not knowing what to do in difficult situations. I know I do better when I plan my meals ahead of time. When left to my whims, I don't do as well.
