So if self confidence is a realistic confidence in one's own judgement, ability, power then it would be nice to be self confident. Am I self confident though? At times I am, especially in the ability to do my job, to clean house, to be a fabulous grandmother, mother, wife etc. Yes in those areas I am self confident. Now when it comes to my eating habits self confidence goes out the window. I am eating healthy and I do pretty good sticking to the program most of the time. But I am far from confident about my eating habits, I know that it is much easier to revert back to the old habits than to stick with the new ones. I know that it only takes me a bite or two of the foods that are trigger foods for me to fall right back into the old ways. I know my weaknesses and I know what triggers them yet I so easily fall back into them. There is a sense of comfort when I go back there, at least for the moment, before guilt sets in.
How do I gain self confidence in my eating habits? Is it something I can create? Is it something I won't be able to ever have? I think eventually I will become self confident in my eating habits. I think as time goes by and I continue to eat healthy that it will happen. I think that as I have more success at keeping my weight off that I will eventually accept that I have learned a new way of eating. I think that daily I am building self confidence. I just wish that I had it now!!
