hi dina : )
must be hard running a daycare with all those kiddies eating those things! I couldn't say it better than the other posters! I agree that having healthy snacks on hand for you to eat will help tremendously so that while they are snacking on the cookies or whatever, you can snack on your own healtheir treats instead! some things that help me:
cover the leftovers or snacks in tinfoil (so you can't see them), put them in the back of the fridge! have plenty of your own healthy snacks readily available in the front, (with clear wrap, so you can see them!). When they eat, you can eat too, but just your healthy stuff and nibble throughout the day so you dont get too hungry, it sure helps in the long run.
I agree with what someone else said here, do NOT say you are going to fail, replace those thoughts with " I will succeed" the power of the mind is amazing! Put a plan in motion. Tomorrow, when i get hungry or whenever i get hungry, I will go for my carrot sticks, salad, etc. etc. Prepare yourself the night before for the next day.
gosh i dont know, how i get through moments of weakness? fight the mind, its always with the mind. no matter if i had a bad day, I will say something like, ok tomorrow is a new day. I am going to do this and this and this..........I prepare myself mentally. I take the depression of today, if it was a downer day, and somehow energize it into my following day. I will do this and I wonttttttttttttt do this! talk to yourself or to your mind incessantly!!!!!!!! have a back up plan ready too! like if you hit a hard moment or stress builds and you want to cave in, now what? back up plan, it can be anytying! a 10 minute walk! or reaching out to someone supportive. You will not fail if you set your mind to success
go for it!
