My Question of the Day for 16 April 2010 – UPDATED
My Question of the Day: Nothing should taste better than being healthy feels. Imagine you’ve been plugging away at a new diet and exercise plan. You’ve been working your programs for the last three months, and you can see light at the end of the long tunnel. You’re within 10 pounds of meeting your weight-loss goal, and you’ve totally relearn how to eat, keeping portion control in mind and limiting, not banishing, junk food. One day at work, you get an email from the company president, saying that s/he wants to take the entire office out to dinner to show his/her appreciation for all your hard work and dedication. S/he gives the place and time for the dinner, and it is a restaurant that you have completely avoided since starting your new health regimen, because this restaurant prepares food in a way that totally, 100% goes against your diet plan. What do you do?
My 2 Cents: If I have a choice, I wouldn’t go. If I have no choice, if it’s mandatory, I won’t eat. If I’ve avoided that particular restaurant for the specific reason that their menu doesn’t fit in my diet plan, I’m not going to try to force it.
I’d thank my boss for his/her generous offer, but I wouldn’t compromise my goal just to get a free meal, and I’d let him/her know exactly why I won’t be participating.
My choice is based on knowing my level of discipline (or lack thereof) at this point and time, and I’m not at a point where I’d just get back on my plan the next day. I could be wrong after I’ve actually had three months to revise my eating habits and solidify my workout program, but answering with today’s mind, I wouldn’t go.
