What I Treat Myself With

My cousin asked me a while ago what I treat myself with. But before I dive into my treats and cheats, I must say that I’m not perfect. I try to live a certain way, 80% of the time I can swing it! But, just like everyone else, I’m human.
- It’s important for me not to feel like I’ve deprived myself of anything I want. I make sure when I really want something, I eat it. I just pick my treat times in the week so that I’m not always giving into temptation. But when I do give in, it’s because I planned for it and then it really feels like a treat.
- I try to eat healthy whenever I’m at home. I feel like I have the most control over what I put in my mouth in my own kitchen. When I go to a restaurant or to a friends house, my healthy options can be limiting.
- I pick one treat meal a week. A treat meal for me would be something like Pizza, Thai, or Indian. This way, if I’m craving Pizza, I know I can have it without guilt! *I also have a treat here and there ( like once or twice a week)- be it half a cinnamon bun or sour candies ( like jube jubes or sour patch kids)- these are the things I crave. If I’m craving chocolate, I’ll have low fat frozen yogurt with sprinkles ( Chapmen’s is the best!) or a Chocolate Vita Muffin.
I TRY not to beat myself up when I have bad days. But I never say “There goes the whole week!” ever. And the one thing I always do is wake up and have a healthy breakfast. I always start my day off right.
