Default riding out the cravings
Right now I am craving the Weight Watchers ice cream bar in the freezer...problem is, I just had one, I'm not hungry, In fact, I'm kind of full...so now the work begins...in previous days I would have just given in to the craving. This time around I am asking myself why I want the ice cream. I am stopping myself in my own tracks and saying "how are you feeling?" "what is going on in your head?" and then I am say "NO!" No to emotional eating, no to boredom eating, no to eating because it is there! And yes to the work, the emotional journey I have been refusing to take because it might be painful. But what hurts more? Watching my kids grow up with an inactive mom or finding out why I eat? So now I am riding out the cravings and waving to them as they pass!

Thanks for "listening". It felt good to get this down. And the ice cream bar is still in the freezer!

Hooray Hooray Jane!

You should be so proud! It is the 'little' victories like that, which will contribute to your success on your journey.

Remember that you are in control... the ice cream bar is not!
