SELF CONTROL
Hello everyone, I have been doing pretty good on my eating and exercising. The thing that I am most grateful for since I started my new journey is that feeling that I have control over what I eat. There have been many times in the past that it seemed like I had an addiction to fast food. I used to think to myself, you control what you put in your mouth, then by lunch I would be going to get some fast food. I think I tried to just block it out of my mind rather than deal with it. When I would think about how I gave into the cravings I would think that I was weak. I never liked that feeling. I don't like to think that something has gotten the best of me, step up to the plate you wimp! I am happy that each week I am thinking less about fast food and not eating it is becoming more like second nature everyday.
I actually remember one time years ago when I went to the doctor for a check-up that I would ask her for a prescription for an appetite suppressant. She said she didn't care for those pills that they were merely speed. She told me to take fiber tablets instead. I wasn't too satisfied with that answer. I told her that dieting was hard for me. She said, "well I think it's hard for everyone." I told her it was especially hard for me. She didn't say anything. I guess I just wanted those pills. I thought after I left, what kind of a spoiled comment was that, GEEZ! I'm actually starting to believe that with the help of this board I can succeed. I will never be a skinny minny, and that's perfectly fine with me. I could never maintain such a weight. Thanks for listening. Brenda
