Craving--I WON

Whew.... I passed this little test yesterday.... Have been quite busy.... Am putting together the grand opening of my holistic clinic this weekend... ads, flyers clients cancelations, students... so much to do.... And of course can't forget the knee. I am recovering from the second fall on in since June.... so can't really do heavy exercise... and still hurts a good bit.. WEll.. was off to meet the hypnotherapist to go over our talk for Sunday to launch our weight loss support program. I am tired because on top of this I haven't felt well this week.... All I could think about was I wanted something to eat. Didn't know what Didn't care what.... Now before I left home I had a lighter version of this feeling and gave it a bit of cheese.... By the time I was driving.... It grew... It now knew it wanted a cupcake with sourcream icing..... I even said I would go to the shop and look wouldn't get but look... As I pulled up to the turn to go to the hypnotherapist.... I said no...just going there... then said No.... I will go to the shop....so I did. Wandered around... now there were no cupcakes with sour cream icing..thank God. I looked at ice cream--too many cals. NO nothing saltty,I knew I wanted something sweet and chocolate. Looked around for a very small 95 cal cadbury chocolate bar my little raft in the sea of cravings..... there were none.... but down on the bottom shelf I spied a fun size milky way 98 cals...
So I hopped on.... It satisfied the craving.... No splurge.... The empowering thing was being able to pass over the ice cream.... was to actually be selective to satisfy this urge.... and then realizing it really was a stress reaction... Once I realized it was stress and not really about food... I was able to switch it off as well.. so no reoccurrence....a little shaky but soooo happy.... Yeah ME!!!
