Today Mom and I started WW (Weight Watchers) again. I'm feeling really good about this.
This morning right before joining, I was on the elliptical for 25 minutes sweating away. It was AWESOME!
My weight was such a wake up call.
Tonight while I was left with little to no calorie allotment for the day, I found myself staring into the jaws of the candy dish across the room (which, remind me, I need to now hide or donate to "the wolves"(dad's co-workers) when I realized in a moment that I did not want those heath bars and mounds bars, but what I wanted was to be able to control that watering of the mouth, know I can't stop as soon as I start feeling. I recognized that these candies are a red light food for myself, so I immediately went to the kitchen and cut up an apple and let me tell you, it was actually delicious and worked. I can now look to the candy dish knowing that my apple was so much more food than a measly little bite-sized candy bar. Had I eaten even just one of those sweets, I wouldve realized that after about two bites, my evening of snacking would be over. Having eaten the apple, I spent more time enjoying the juicy goodness of its filling food self and was quite satisfied.
