Thoughts can get weight watchers into trouble. They probably have gotten you into the trouble you are in right now. Or is it just me? What do we do? We think about what we are about to eat. We think before we eat it. As a matter of fact, even those who watch their weight may even ponderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and then say, "What the heck! " Eat it.
Temptation starts with a thought. Like right now I have had several thoughts: ice cream and apple turnover. My thought went one step further, make that yogurt ice cream, less calories. I don't have either in my fridge, but guaranteed if I ponder long enough I will look for something sweet.
Every thought does not have to lead to a pound or two. Do you like strawberries? How about cool whip?
Make a dessert out of it. Less cals and tastes good. Of course, don't eat the whole thing.
Just checked my fridge. . . couldn't resist. . . that sweet temptation was getting the best of me. Thinking about having that slice of cold melon to satisfy my sweet urge. Wow! just like that, that urge disappeared. What did I do? I wrote about it. Yes, I got up and checked the fridge because it was getting to me, then I sat back down to complete this piece.
Weight watchers writing about your temptations are less calorie forming than actually eating to the urge of the temptation. If you don't have a journal or a note book, grab a piece of paper and WRITE IT OUT. Take control. Don't give in.
I'm proud of you.
