scary thoughts

okay, a little concerned tonight. I’ve been doing really well for my first 2 weeks, but tonight I went to the cupboard to get some saltines for the soup I made and saw a package of cookies.  My immediate thought was to rip them open and shove 2 or 3 into my mouth.  Honestly, the thought startled me.  That was the old me…the “me” I do not want to hear from again.  I didn’t eat the cookies, but the thought did linger.  I am scared I will start having those thoughts and desires again.  I hope tonight’s “scary thought” was just because hubby and I waited too long to eat dinner.(please tell me it was!!)  That was the only change today.  Any thoughts or advice are welcome.

    Cookies do that to me too!!!! And expecially if I wait too long to eat. I started scheduling my meals to make sure I would never feel hungry. Hunger = cookies. Great job holding out…a strength that can’t be beat!

    Hey, great job on resisting those cookies. I know how hard it was to do that. I think you strengthened your “resistance muscle” tonight. You know, that part of your brain that is the sabatoger - we have the choice to give in or to resist. You became stronger today in that dept.! I think the thoughts to “dive in” to whatever is unhealthy will always be there, it will just get easier to resist them. Great job!

    I don’t like those thoughts either. If you do give in (I do one time too many) eat a few and put the rest away. Everything in moderation is my motto.

    wow you are amazing that you resisted the tempting thought to eat the cookies. I have to say when I wait too long to eat I binge like crazy

    Good job girl! I agree with you…you wanted it due to being super hungry. If you are still thinking about those sneaky cookies…have 1 and send the package to work with your hubby. Your doing great by the way! Hang tough!
