As a salesperson for a large pharmaceutical company, I spent the better part of this past week at a national sales meeting with over 3100 people. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was being herded from one conference room another. There is something about these huge meetings that puts me on edge. I feel pressure to perform at my best every minute. For whatever reason, I let all this get to me and I got off my diet. With food at every break and desserts at every meal, I got caught up in the situation and fell back into my old habits of eating way too much.
One night, at a late dinner, I ate more than I needed and then I had a double helping of ice cream for dessert. I so paid the price. My stomach hurt, I felt bloated, my energy was down and I slept horribly that night. Why was I doing this to myself? Did I need to make myself feel bad? Of course I did not need to feel bad, but I can learn from this.
First of all, I never want to feel bad like that again. Second, there must have been something that triggered me to get off my diet. I believe that I felt uncomfortable in the situation because that job is not where my purpose lies. Third, I had stopped asking and listening to myself for what I needed. When I face situations like this again I must prepare myself to be disciplined to take the time to listen before I eat.
The next day I restarted living the Core Reset Diet. Boy what a difference. My body just did not need very much too eat. I felt lighter, happier, more full of purpose with more energy and I slept soundly that night. It is so worth it too feel great.
