Think Before You Eat- Green Grapes

I did so well today. Met my sister-in-law, mom and my niece and nephew at Chuck E Cheeses so the kiddos could play for lunch. I had a yummy salad with low-fat ranch from the salad bar and a few bites of the kiddos pizza.  I brought my dinner and snacks to work tonight and stuck to the food I packed.  I snacked all day (healthy snacks---proteins, grains, fruits and veggies) and did really well. Then on the drive home, I wanted to stop so badly for junk. I didn't care what. grabbed change out of my center consul and started thinking of what I wanted to eat. I quickly realized that I didn't "want" to eat. I actually felt hungry. I did want to satisfy the hunger, but didn't want to hate myself later for it.

I got home, washed my face, put on my jammies and made myself a bowl of green grapes.

They filled my tummy up and I felt better immediately; my hunger was satisfied and I felt good because I knew I wasn't gonna hate myself for stuffing junk down my throat at ten o'clock at night. I'm actually proud of myself. It's small, but it's a step forward!---yay for another healthy day.

I'm glad I stopped to think before I ate :)
