INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS - CRAVINGS

Right now I want to eat something fattening. Maybe pizza... or chicken wings... or potato chips & dip. Whatever! I know that I could run out and pick something up, however I am choosing not to.
I want to lose weight much more than I want that snack.

As I sit here, I realize that I am experiencing an intense craving, and that is all it is. I accept these feelings for what they are. Cravings are uncomfortable feelings, but I know that they will soon pass and I will be able to pat myself on the back and be proud that I did not give in.

Pizza is not going to go away forever if I don't eat it tonight; this isn't my "last chance". I am not willing to throw away a full day of eating right and exercising for a greasy snack. I have done that so many times in the past, and all it did was make me lose my motivation and send me off on a binge. Today, my choice is to lose this weight, be healthier, feel better, like myself more, and live longer. My choice is not to indulge in a high-calorie snack at this time.

One of the things that I am working on is to get myself to the point where I am able to make healthy choices and to ward off cravings without too much difficulty. For now, it's one day at a time, and sometimes one moment at a time!
