Okay so today I went to Walmart to buy a few things and had to drive past a few of my favorite fast food places. As I have said in the past, I am a binge eater. If you're not sure, that means I can eat quite a bit of food and fast food places talk to me. My brain instantly goes to, "how much food can I get with the littlest amount of money?" I need more than will power to pass these places and not buy food from there. I am a stress eater so knowing that I have not been on a binge in 2 weeks and knowing that I am a single mom trying to make ends meet every day. I talked myself out of eating at any of the places I wanted to go. I am having steak and salad for dinner tonight and I now have to control that since I didn't eat out. Everyday this is a struggle and taking one day at a time is really necessary to get through. I can and I will do this. I hear myself saying, "one day of a splurge is not bad. It's only one time." That one time reminds me of an alcoholic. They are only going to have 1 beer tonight. One turns into 4 which turns into 8. I can't do this to myself anymore. I will get clean and straight with my food and use it to keep myself alive and not allow the food to control me.

Excellent job today on not giving in! Good attitude. You don't have to get through this entire diet today! Just one meal at a time.
And remember, its not a death sentence. Its a diet!Eat things you are looking forward to and focus on the end result- whether its how healthy you'll become, how you'll fit into your clothes or whatever that focus is!
Keep up the good work!

Good entry :D Its hard to stay away from those places, your doing great at it though :D Socrates got it right when he said "Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat." I love that quote. I have always been jealous of those who can live by that.
