Yesterday I asked a member friend of mine on this site if she would give me a pep talk as I had allowed myself an extra half bowl of soup. I explained, I feared this would lead to food controling me again. Well she gave me a pep kick instead of a pep talk. She asked me to consider if it was worth that one extra day to keep us from our goal. She also asked, what was more important to me? That stopped me in my tracks. I was expecting an "oh well, it was vegetable home made soup and not fattening". But she allowed none of that. "What was more important too me", stung. I wasn't prepared for that . So it made me think and see how that one little slip up showed me where I was putting my time at. I didn't NEED that extra half bowl. I just wanted it because it tasted good. I was no longer hungry. I chose to spend time eating unnecessarily when I could have been doing something in exchange to help towards my goal. I see how we are accountable for every choice we make in this battle of the fat. So I admit I goofed, I will let this failure be my teacher ,not my undertaker . I will gladly pay the price and put more of my life energy into my goal. Thanks Debi for the pep kick. lol Blessings all.
