Turning away from temptation

Yay!! I made past last night with all the terrible temptations of eating more of that cake and ice cream/brownies!

I kept feeling like I was right ready to just go ahead and get the ice cream/brownies or cake, just knew I was going to give into it, had thoughts of justification, thinking the all or nothing thing, like well I already have been having 3 treat days for the past 2 weekends might as well do it again this weekend after all I've only had 1 treat day this weekend so far so 2 is not as bad as last weekend! Kept trying to find a loophole somewhere, like maybe I won't gain if I do this regularly!

In between those thoughts, I kept gently reminding myself of how I would feel this morning if I gave in and if it would be worth it or not. Kept reminding myself of times in my past when I got out of control with this and then my pants all of the sudden begin to feel snug and then I get disappointed and depressed with myself.

I know this might sound like a very superficial and trivial thing compared to bigger things in life, but how I look at it is this; if I allow myself to be out of control and undisciplined in this area it usually carries on over into other bigger areas of my life, like with the fear/insecurity thing. If I don't stay disciplined with this then I start to get lax in other areas.

Good for you Kimmie.  Sounds like you've got it under control.  You should be very proud of yourself.

SUPER! I can relate in so many ways. I have even gone so far as to tie a string to a finger to remind me of how I will feel if I overdo the late-night eating.
I think that my problem is that I go all day with great control, and by night, my body is telling me that I have not fed it enough during the day, which is true, so I compensate by eating too much right before bed. It is a terrible habit of mine!

Oh man, thats the same thing I do. I am very self controlled during the day I guess maybe because I'm busier and then at night its exactly like you said, I feel I DESERVE it and think that I didn't consume that many calories during the day so I can afford a little more.
