I just looked at the comment posted to my entry yesterday and this motivated me to talk again about "choices"...everyday we make choices....from what we wear to what we accomplish forst at work to what we are going to do after dinner. Some of these choices are made for us...for instance, a supervisor at work may tell us exactly what needs to be done first. However, most of the choices of our nday are dictated by ourselves.
What we eat and how we decide to exercised are our choices. By initiating a weight loss effort your are choosing to be healthier, look younger, feel better in your clothes, etc. However to get there you need to make choices that involve the forfeiture of high caloric foods, alcohol and old habits. Sometimes choices in life are in fact mutually exclusive...you cannot choose to be at that ideal weight and still choose to have 2 cocktails at night. Something gotta give.
When your choices buck normal human behavior it becomes more difficult Giving up high caloric food sources is not normal human behavior.
Still to the choices that make you feel better about yourself...these are much better long-term choices.

True...we do have a choice when we put some space between ourselves and the frantic moment when we are craving something sweet. Just one moment to think - "wait up! this is just one of those pesky old sugar cravings...maybe I should go for walk and think things over rather than stuff my feelings down with a doughnut" Just for the record though I hate doughnuts.
