I mentioned last week that I seem to have a new voice in my head. When I'm staring at an off plan food that I absolutely don't need to be putting in my mouth, the voice simply says, "You need to make a better choice today." Thats it, and I repeat, "I need to make a better choice." I make that better choice, then move on.
Last night, it was a piece of cheesecake pulled out of the freezer for DH. Yum, looks good, I've been OP for almost a year, it's ok *interrupt* *it's my little voice*
If I want to keep losing, I need to continue to keep making better choices.
BTW-My better choice was 1 triscuit with a tsp of RF cream cheese w/ chives
What strategies do you employ when you're about to take that first bite?
I'm really glad I didn't eat the cheesecake. I wasn't a big sneak eater in my past, but I felt a powerful message last night that when I cheat the only one I'm cheating is myself. A cheat that no one else sees doesn't go unnoticed anymore-I notice.
