I had a really bad day today....work wise, that is! My day went from bad to worse seemingly every hour! As the frustrations set in, my thoughts immediately kept turning to food. How good a candy bar sounded. Or how I really NEEDED some pizza. BUT....guess what! I persevered! I took control of those thoughts and PUSHED THEM AWAY! I'm not sure why our mind plays these games on us. For me, in times of stress or discouragement, I turn to food. I wasn't going to let that happen. After all, in the long run I would have only felt worse! Instead, I NAILED IT! I grabbed my salad that I prepared that morning and later snacked on some grapes! I was completely responsible for how I chose to handle those emotions and it's crazy how by using the power of my mind, I was able to push through! I am still going strong, I have not fallen on this challenge yet. And, after a really really crappy, stress-filled day, who would have thought that by overcoming my temptations and having the willpower to know better, that ultimately the decision to eat well is what made my day better; by the satisfaction that came with WINNING THE DAY!
Keep on fighting the fight! We ALL have the power to do this! I can attest to that today! :)
