weighed in

Okay today was a good day.  I weighed in after missing a couple of weeks for various reasons and it wasnt that bad.  I gained .8, thats point 8, so not quite a pound and I am quite pleased with that.Tomorrow I will go back to fulfilling all my daily requirments and make sure that this is part of my goal for this week.  Today I heard a quote and it made alot of sense.  A while back, somewhere in their literature, Weight Watchers posted a quote: "If you dont want to slip, stay away from slippery places". That makes perfect sense doesnt it?  So now I am going to make a plan to stay away from places that make me slip.  How I plan to do this is I am going to make a list of places that I just need to stay away from.  For example, Shakeys Pizza!  I truly love their pizza and mojos and no matter how strong I feel going there, it has never been just 1 slice and how ever many mojos I should have.  I can literally devour a whole medium pizza all by myself!  Grooooosssss, but oh so true.  Hey, I didnt get to be this heavy eating salads and lean/healthy stuff!  Its time to get real.  I need to stop fooling myself and stop letting that little girl inside my head negotiate with me.  She's bad and she has had her way for far too long now.  I am starting to understand that there just has to be some changes and unfortunately, some of them have to be for life and there is nothing I can do about that except accept it and move on.  I mean dont get me wrong, I will eat Shakeys Pizza again, but it will have to be for a very special occasion so that eating there rarely happens rather than me saying "oh come on, its only 1 meal" and then feel the dread that follows. I just think, there are sooo many joys in life and surely it cant all be about food.  When I put it all into perspective, how can I be miserable about not being able to eat Shakeys when there are worse things out there that can harm me? It seems the more I read and learn about food addiction, the more I am convinced that I carry alot of the characteristics.  So with my head in the right place, I am off to an amazing week!  Wish me well!
