Mind Over Food

Yesterday was our free day and i have to say i did pretty well. I was late for work and didn't have breakfast which was not so good, but the belly survived. Lunch was at my oh so fave place, O'Kellys. I had a chicken salad sandwich, Doritos, Cinnamon danish, and a Mr.Pibb. Dinner was at Western Sizzling where i only had 2 plates of food, only one roll, and i didn't dip my regular food in ranch. Success right there! I love my bread and ranch! LoL We decided to skip desert there and instead had it at Sweet Frog. It was defiantly what the sweet tooth needed. At home though Lewis asked where the left over pizza was from the other night and my craving meter went off the chart. I had forgot that was in the fridge and when he mentioned it i just had to have some! He said we could split it, but i said no. I had already had my meals for the day and didn't need to eat something just to eat it. I almost changed my mind at one point though. I walked to the fridge. opened the door, touched the contained, then set it back down. There was no since in eating it! I had just finished my bikey ride and didn't need extra, empty calories in me. I'm proud to say i walked away and didn't have any of it. The body was not happy, but once i got to bed, played with my IPOD, and watched a movie with Lewis it had pretty much forgotten it. That's the hardest part knowing the craving will pass. It's just a matter of sticking to your guns and finding something to do until the demon passes. I'm not saying i will pass every time, but winning last night's pizza trial really makes me feel good. I feel like i can get control again. I have to! I have those adorable poker chips to achieve. :D
