How Quickly The Demons Find Me!

Last night I had a wonderful meal of stuffed peppers made with lean ground beef, brown rice, crushed tomatoes, garlic, and lots of fresh herbs with a big side of broccoli.  It was excellent and I could just feel the fat melting off my thighs from not ingesting a bunch of crap. (By the way, I've been tricking myself into thinking that I'm eating a boat load of food by using a smaller plate.  This looks like a ton of food, but it's actually about 1 1/2 cups of broccoli and 1/2 pepper stuffed with about 4oz. of meat.)

Then I get to work this morning and this is what I see...

Seriously people, a fresh bag of Ballreich's is like crack to me!  If I could melt them down and inject them into my veins and get the same feeling from eating them, I would do it!!  And of course the box of fudge sitting next to the chips is like a heroin chaser.  Do you think if I snort the fudge and inject the chips I wouldn't get any of the calories and fat??

Back to reality.  No, I haven't had any of the chips or fudge, but my desk is about 4 feet away from the counter so it is taking some serious determination to not eat them.  Here is what I keep telling myself..."If I eat those, will they get me closer to my goal or farther away?" So as I sit here and type this I'm eating my 1/2 large apple and small handful of walnuts knowing that I'm one step closer to my goal!

What are you doing today to get one step closer to your goal?  It's not the gigantic goal at the end that I'm reaching today, but every day I'm one step closer and all of the decisions I make will either get me closer or further away from that goal.  And yes, whether you want to hear this or not, eating that slice of chocolate cake WILL show up somewhere on your body.  It took me a long time to admit that, but since I've been honest with myself the changes have been AMAZING, just in the last two months!!!
