i certainly felt the acheivement of winning a battle earlier .
I have been having a nightmare of a day today. Day 3 and all ive thought about all day is food food food, even weighing up which foods we have in that i can eat without too much damage to ketones and weight loss .
anyway at about 5pm i went into the kitchen to get my pain meds when the fridge caught the corner of my eye and called to me in ways i dont think it ever has before.
After looking at it for a few moments i walked over and opened it, looking the contents up and down like a hungry dog.
i saw ham and chicken and cottage cheese and salad ingredients and then ...... i saw the cathedral city mature cheddar cheese :drool:.
'just a small piece' i whispered as if someone around was watching me, knowing damn well i would have ended up with a huge doorstep of cheese the moment i get the knife out.
Then i said ' NO '
I put the cheese back in the fridge and thought to myself ' if i still feel like i 'need' the cheese in 30 minutes i will allow myself to eat it'
so i grabbed another pint of water and headed back to the living room where i settled down with my snuggie and my laptop and before i realised it , it was 7pm and the ' moment ' had passed.
I feel soooo good that i fought the urge. i cant remember the last time i didnt give in to temptation that strong but omg, fighting and winning feels so euthoric
just wanted to share this incase anyone else is having one of those 'moments'
