Will Power Success

labyrinthrunner · September 2012

I tend to seek pleasure through food. Its why I am fat. Whenever I "pamper" myself, there is usually food involved. Often chocolate and fried food. Well, today I was rewarding myself for hitting one of my mini goals so I went and had a facial at Massage Envy. Not only did I resist the large bowl of chocolate kisses sitting on the counter, but, I also beat down my inner fat girl when she said that we should go over to In and Out and get some Animal Fries. And my inner fat girl REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted animal fries. I feel pretty good about that. My willpower has been really bad for a while now, so it feels great to finally be taking back a little bit of control.

I'm glad that you got to "beat down" your "inner fat girl". I'll have to agree, it is pretty hard. I always find myself wanting to reward myself with food, then I have to remind myself that food is energy so that doesn't really make any sense. If I ever feel like I'm losing my control again, I just try to remind myself that the food we eat is for energy (this does not mean that it can't be enjoyable, but it definitely helps to make wiser choices). Once in a while I will say that something is a guilty pleasure, especially if it is a homemade dessert type thing.
