I did not.
I'm also an ex-smoker, so I have gone through this before and overcome...
It does make me re-evaluate what my triggers are, and today in general was one of them. Six months ago, I would have gotten a huge burger and huge fries to "make me feel better" about things.
I have not read his book, but I've gone through enough therapy to know that first you need to understand the problem before you can then change the mindset and deal with it.
I am feeling pretty good about making it home without getting fries tonight!
The whole day was not a bad day.
You flexed the willpower muscle and strengthened it!
I'm a stress eater/food fixes everything girl, too so I KNOW what it takes to get thru tough times without heading straight to old behaviors.
Here's hoping yesterday is over and today is much better
YOU get to move forward knowing you made the best choice for your health! yay!
