Last night I went to a friend's jewelry party. She was serving wine and cheese and some sort of gourmet pizza. I had dinner beforehand to make it easier on myself. I accounted for a couple glasses of wine in my points, and I ate maybe a cup of grapes while I was there. If you aren't familiar with Weight Watchers, they have you count points as opposed to calories.
On the way home I was craving frozen yogurt. I asked myself the question I have been on this go around. What does my body need? Does my body feel hungry? Not what do I emotionally want? Not what do I deserve because I was so good at the party? I knew I wasn't hungry and I knew I could satisfy the sweet tooth with a teaspoon of peanut butter. I almost turned left towards the yogurt shop. I'd even put on the turning blinker but then turned it off before the light changed. In order for me to get to my goal I have to honor my commitments, one challenge at a time, one day at a time, every day. Last night I did and this morning it felt pretty good.
