A little thought changing

I had a small revelation yesterday. It really seems like I have been thinking of my weight loss journey all wrong. Yesterday while grocery shopping I was looking at all of the potato chips and thinking how much it stinks that I cannot buy them, and how far I have to go to lose weight. Then it hit me, I could buy them and eat them all I wanted. The real issue was did I want the 10 minute temporary taste of the Doritos or did I want the weight loss?
Does this make sense? It seems like such a simple thought process to go from feeling negative about not having something to feeling free because I am making the choice.

    Total sense. That's how I'm losing weight. Sometimes, the Doritos are worth it. But not very often. I'll take the seedless grapes, please and thank you!

    Choosing what you really want instead of what you want now
