Mind over matter

Ok.  Yesterday I had a bit of a breakthrough.  We were out of diet soda and during my meals I like to have a sweet, fizzy drink.  We had full calorie Coke.  It's only 120 cals a can so I figured I could make it work in my day.  I usually have more than that leftover without feeling hungry.  So I had a normal day - but just 240 more calories than normal.  So at night snack time I had about 150 calories in my day (which is 1500).  I was really wanting some Flax Seed Crackers with Laughing Cow Cheese but I knew it would put me like 30 calories or so over.  I didn't think it would be a big deal at all - especially since I typically have a large deficit every day.  I go to make my snack and realize we were out of the Laughing Cow Cheese!  I decided that since that was what I wanted and nothing else really seemed appealing I would just wait until the next day.  So then I relax to watch some TV and then it hit me - I wanted a taco.  However, I really thought about it and realized yea, maybe I didn't.  So I passed.

Total mind over matter.  I wanted it - but I just really thought about it.  Really, I could have had it and it would be okay; but is that what I really want?  I mean it has been 25 days now and I have only had fast food once.  One time.  I'm really happy about that.  Anyways.

Til next time!
