Spent two hours talking with a friend at a coffee shop. I didn't order any of their better-than-real-life pastry thingies, CREDIT moi. And, to top it off, my evening snack was exactly half a mango - one of my favorites.
nationalparker – Always Kudos for standing down Friday donuts. Your kale wild rice sounds yummy - never heard of that combination. Are you painting the canvas portion of your offset patio umbrella?

Chapter 9 Psychological Traps
Reflect and Recommit: Why I Want to Escape This Trap
Making an initial eating mistake doesn't have to be a problem. Eating an unplanned piece of cake may not even show up on the scale tomorrow morning. But compounding the initial mistake with more - well, those compounded mistakes will show up the very next day.
If you had always known how to get back on track immediately after one mistake, wouldn't you have spared yourself years of struggle?
Work on identifying your getting off track traps right now so you'll be prepared to spot them immediately next time. Left unaddressed, these traps have the potential to turn a minor stumble into a long, prolonged fall. But if you master these traps, you can minimize the damage of all other traps. Take a few minutes to write one final summary reminder card to motivate you to make changes and keep making changes, so you can avoid or escape from your traps.
