I woke up this morning at 5:30 with no alarm. I watched TONS of videos on reviews of the Ultimate Reset before I decided to do it, and when the people said they would literally jump out of bed in the morning, I thought they were lying. While I didn't quite jump, I didn't have to drag myself kicking and screaming like I normally do! I felt pretty fabulous until about 3 pm.
As you go through the Reset, you become more in tune with your habits regarding everything, not just eating. I am learning a lot about myself. I am really struggling to get through some of my bad habits like gorging on crap every afternoon between 3 & 4 pm. I've been doing it for as long as I can possibly remember, and it's such an AWFUL habit. I'm about to get a little sappy here, so just bear with me for a minute (another part of Reset-dealing with your emotions).
The lady pictured below is my grandma. The baby is me. From the time I was born until she passed away when I was 27, she was a daily part of my life. I didn't go to daycare as a child. My grandma took care of my brother and me when my parents were at work. My grandma was a food pusher. My dad jokes that if she would've pushed drugs the way she pushed food, she would have been a millionaire.
My grandma spoiled me rotten. I won't deny it. Whatever I wanted for food, I got. She never tried to make me eat anything healthy, either. When I was in elementary school, I rode the bus to her house every day after school, and every day, she would either have a Totinos pizza, pizza rolls, chicken strips, or those little square southern style hashbrowns and Dr. Pepper waiting for me. Whatever I wanted, I got. This continued on through high school. I basically ate 4 meals a day. Normally, this is fine, but none of the meals I was eating were overly healthy. Everything was processed, pretty much. Back in the 1980s and 90s, we didn't know that was so bad.
I never realized it until today but I have continued to keep that habit of eating crap in the late afternoon. I'm not even hungry most of the time, it's just a habit. Maybe it's an emotional thing because I miss my grandma so much. I don't know. What I do know is I'm going to take full advantage of this Reset and kick that habit once and for all.
