    Today I struggled with this. I was so starving when I got home and I had no motivation and I just wanted a takeaway. Mexican. Got as far as the website and realised they're closed. Couldn't decide what to do, whether to have something else or just cook and eat here. Decided in the end to cook my own food.

    Then I turned the TV on. Bam. Comic Relief. And I realised, I wasn't starving. Those kids are starving. And I was so glad that I hadn't had a takeaway, because it meant I could donate the money I would have spent instead.

    All of this to say, if it's temptation like that - not cake in the office, but a choice between spending money on something that will slow your progress, and not - don't spend the money. Do something else with it. Save it for a rainy day, give it to charity, anything else, and rejoice in having stayed on track, and done some good in the world.
