This may seem like a tiny thing, but I am so proud of myself.
I compulsively have to follow my evening meal with something sweet. Always have. Even when dieting I will save the calories to cover this treat.
Last night I had already logged the chocolate (a tube of Smarties), and had a healthy deficit for the day including those smarties.
Well, I decided to hold off for a bit and test my patience. Then I started thinking about the fact that I wasn't actually hungry, I just wanted the taste. Then I reminded myself of what a strong woman I am and have been in other aspects of my life, and I had a moment of clarity where I scoffed at this craving. It doesn't hurt, I could go without.
And I did! I woke up this morning and deleted the entry for the smarties which I'd already logged. I can't explain how good it felt! 100 times better than the pleasure I would have derived from that chocolate.
Anyway, just had to share as I'd sound mental sharing this with anyone in my real life 😂 and I think if I write this down it will help solidify this feeling for me moving forward 🙂
