Yesterday went ok. I was more active around the house and did good with my eating until evening. I took my son to go grocery shopping because he was out of food. Then afterwards he wanted to go to burger king. I planned that I would not buy anything for myself, but I couldn't resist-scratch that- I DIDNT resist. bought me two of those burger shots even though I had already had dinner. Then I started craving everything. Every time I passed a restaurant or billboard I started craving whatever it was advertising. I did remember then to talk myself out of it. I reminded myself that it is not a physical hunger but an indulgent craving and that by giving in to it I am lessening my chances of ever becoming a normal weight. I reminded myself of all the things I hope to do. It seemed to work. At least I didn't go get pizza, ribs, birthday cake, etc. (lol). I almost forgot to do treadmill, but I made myself do it even though I didn't want to. Today is my day to go to Curves. I'm dreading it, but I'll probably enjoy it when I get there. heres hoping the day goes well for me and all of you too.

I couldn\'t find my gym bag...probably covered in dust in some dark corner of a closet somewhere...but I did throw stuff in a paper bag. So. I am going. To bally\'s. Even though I\'m not enthused..i know from experience that for me, I have to force myself to take action and then my attitude changes and I get motivated to do more! Are you like that?
That\'s the way,.... Self talk is a great way of stopping that insatiable voice inside our heads wanting to gobble everything in sight... a bit like the cookie monster , but worse...\"I WANT COOKIES...GIVE ME COOKIES...NOW
\"Isn\'t it funny how you eat one thing and then all of a sudden everything is fair game... I take the kids to burger king, have either a salad or have nothing and watch everyone else eat burgers and then come home and eat everything unhealthy in sight... What\'s with that?..Remember you do want to reach a healthy weight more than you want that burger or whatever... think long term, not short term gratification... No is such a hard word, sometimes though isn\'t it? Hold onto that inner voice and have an awesome day
