You Have A Choice - I Have A Choice
Taking a few minutes to remind myself.
It’s that time in my day when I’ve already eaten my lunch and I’m feeling a little bit tired.
I am tempted to go and get some chocolate biscuits from the kitchen.
They’re definitely not banned. I don’t believe in banning any food. I know from experience that just makes me want the food even more.
I don’t need or even really want the biscuits right now. I am acknowledging that I’m tempted more by old habits. That’s it.
I choose to stop mindless eating.
I choose to make decisions that support me.
So, here’s my deliberate thought process. The one I choose mindfully.
Yes, I’m tempted to eat the chocolate biscuits
Yes, I can have them if I really want them
I may have a couple later today
But right now, I am choosing not to
Instead, I have chosen to write and connect with you about this experience
That feels good
I have a lovely bowl of fruit that I can pick from a little later too
I will ask myself “What do I really want?”
I will remind myself of my goal to achieve my happy weight of 9 stone 5 to 9 stone 10
I will remind myself that I always have a choice
Today is a work-at-home day and I’ve pretty much completed the work I had planned for today now. I have a call in a couple of hours, so I think what I’ll do now is take a break. Recharge my batteries and not fuel myself to keep going by eating.
Be kind to yourself
Be mindful about what you’re eating and what you need
Be deliberate in your choices
Thank you for reading today. Please let me know how you’re getting on achieving or maintaining your happy weight.
