I go to the grocery store, and I see all the junky, crappy food, and I contemplate buying it...and then I DON'T buy it (mostly)...and I feel all good about myself because I am strong, and I refuse to give in to temptation...and I pay for my real food, and go home.
AND THEN...
...I spend the rest of the day thinking about the crap that I DIDN'T buy, and mentally berate myself for not buying it!!
What the hell is up with that?? I need a band for my crazy brain. Pfft.
I'm so there with you. LOL I have been day dreaming about cupcakes all day. Why...because they were so well placed at Wally World yesterday. I just want to at least suck the filling out. It's not right.
ReplyDeleteI've found throughout my own Weight Loss journey, that eventually those cravings will diminish. We have them at first, because, lets face it.... Most of us didn't CHOOSE to become fat or obese. Our food addictions and what not got us there. As your body and lifestyle changes, so too will your thoughts and cravings. I don't think they will ever disappear entirely, but I think they will get less and less. I had my own craving this past weekend. You can read about it on my blog. www.shrinking-jeans.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on YOUR journey!!
Call me when you find a band for your brain. STAT.
ReplyDeleteIts left brain right brain thinking.. you want but you know.. and so it goes.. good job stepping away from the crap.. now think of ways to reward yourself for that behavior.. hot bath, mani/pedi, hot man.. whatever will make you feel good
ReplyDeleteHey Gilly baby...we've all done that with the slight difference being we normally buy the crap and eat it once we get home while we berate ourselves for buying the crap...who's on first?
ReplyDeleteHaha, well, at least you didn't buy it!
ReplyDeleteAnd for me... if I just had a tiny bite of whatever it was - I'd probably be fine - no later crazy brain - but alas they don't sell Hershey's kiss sized things in single serving containers....
ReplyDeleteOh hell to the yah - I do the same damn thing. Pisses me right the hell off. UGH
ReplyDeleteWhen they invent that band we will all be saved from ourselves :o)
ReplyDeleteDon't even go there!
ReplyDeleteWe don't need no stinkin badges!
Here's what I do: I go to the supermarket, I see the crap, I buy the crap, I eat a little bit of the crap then get annoyed with my band for not letting me eat more of the crap.
ReplyDeleteYou are WAAAAAAY ahead of me Gilly: at least you don't take the first step on the crap journey.
