I tend to rely on Rick a lot to help me keep up with the new things I want to change. However, I tend to forget I'm trying to abstain from things when Rick reminds me to stick with it. (Especially if it pertains to my sugar cravings.) That's where contracts come in. :)
I wrote up this contract last night:
From this day forward I will focus on:
- Not consuming sugar
- Not consuming grains
- Abstaining from soda
- Only eating 70% cocao or greater chocolate bars, 1 per week, and no more
- Eat more natural fats to offset the sugar cravings.
- Focus on eating low-carb foods
- Staying away from honey and sugar!
- Drink water or tea, no coffee or soda
- Increase my protein intake
- Decrease my consumption of processed foods
- Exercise regularly

Mark Sisson from Mark's Daily Apple always says to focus on the 80/20 rule. If I can stick with this list 80 percent of the time or more, I will feel a lot better, physically and emotionally.
Sounds like a good plan. Maybe I'll try that too. I feel like crap!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much what you eat affects your mood. :) I was reading an article last night and have finally fessed up to the truth: I am addicted to sugar. I might have to go into a Sugaraholics Anonymous group. :D
