I was in the process of getting a snack - and stopped

  • Man, what a great feeling! I ate almost three hours ago and I'm about to go to bed... which means it's that time of night when I normally have one last little snack, like an apple or something, even though I don't need it. Even if it's just an apple, I'm not exercising self control, and THAT'S my biggest problem.

    So boom. Tonight I'm in the kitchen, thinking about what I should eat, knowing in the back of my mind that I shouldn't, and then I don't. That thought in the back of my mind should have been in the front of my mind, so I put it there. And listened. And walked away. Now I feel awesome about my decision. I've been making great ones in the past week or so, and I'm really hoping that they can continue. Last time I had this kind of mindset I lost 10 pounds
  • That's great!!! Keep those thoughts in the front of your mind and let your will-power take control. You know you'll be glad you did.
  • Awesome! I know how hard that can be so I really congratulate you!!
  • Niiice! Way to lead those who aren't quite where you are, which is myself. LOL Keep it up, I need the positive energy.
  • Aw thanks everyone! It's still a pretty constant struggle, like right now for example. But seeing your comment, Tawnya, has set me straight!
