I went to my corner store (that wasn’t it). I bought some clementines and strawberries, when suddenly I realized that I was standing in front of the candy section.
There I saw my number one vice: chocolate. I’ve been eating really healthfully this week (excluding the relapse on Monday) and suddenly all I could think of was the chocolate. I could taste it in my mouth and my mind was replaying recipes which included chocolate. “I could make brownies. Or this chocolate cake I love. Or how about cupcakes?“
And then a miracle happened. I walked pass the chocolate. I totally ignored the chocolate.How great am I?
Talking of chocolate, I think it’s time to make a list about my vices. You know, so I could start getting rid of them or replace them somehow.
Vices:
1. Eating out of habit (If there’s something tasty on offer, I’ll take it even if I’m not hungry or really doesn’t even want to)
2. Chocolate (and other goodies, since I love to bake)
3. Negative thinking (“I can’t-”, “There’s no point-” and other whining)
4. Couch potatoeing (Being utterly lazy instead of doing anything useful)
5. Self-discipline (Which is unfortunately the key to everything)
I think I’m making a progress what comes to eating out of habit.
My self-discipline has improved a notch. We’re not talking about a world-shaking improvement, but noticeable. I can say no to some things already, but I often find myself lying on a couch when I should be doing something rather obligatory.
I’ll be away the whole weekend from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon. I won’t be able to send new posts, which is sad in a way, ‘cause this is sort of a diary for me.
But, as we look at the bright sides we see that it may do some good to have a change of scenery.
I won’t be able to use the computer, watch the TV, or go to the store and buy 20 kilos of chocolate.
So it’s all good.
Enjoy the upcoming weekend sweeties.
