Can Portion Containers be Useless?
Last night I committed 100% to following a food plan. Specifically, I committed to Portion Fix (bright, cute, little colored container system).
I put it in writing. I had my day planned out perfectly, and then my day started.
First Up:
If you're from Pittsburgh, you might know the song "cake in the break room." Well, there is usually something in our break room. Today it happened to be lovely looking danishes and muffins.
I looked. I looked again. I saw a yummy cheese danish that I just wanted to grab. Then I remembered the text message that I sent to my friend. A coach on my team. A text saying that I committed.
So...this is what I ate instead: 1 YELLOW (carb), 1/2 RED (protein), and 1/2 PURPLE (fruit). I felt good about my decision, although not saying it was easy.
Shakeology for lunch, another fruit (banana) and a Greek Yogurt for a snack, and my day was going as planned. Until...
Up Next:
Apparently dinner plans for me weren't the same as dinner plans for the family. Pizza. Who in their right mind turns down pizza!?
Well, here is the REAL DEAL truth. I'm not going to make this seem like I have the best willpower in the world. So...I had a piece.
It was one tiny sliver of a piece and I counted it as part of my containers then moved on to what I had planned. My plan was a salmon salad.
I could really eat this salad at least 2-3 times per week. Salmon salad with some berries, cucumber, tomato, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. One RED, 1/2 PURPLE, 3 GREENS, 1 TSP of Oil.
Can portion control containers become useless? Absolutely if you don't STICK TO WHAT YOU SAY YOU WOULD DO. It is called COMMITMENT. You can try 500 different ways to lose weight, but what it comes down to is how committed you are.
Commitment means staying LOYAL to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you. This is how you see results.
P.S. - a container can never be useless!
