Today's weight 133.4
Last night I ended up having a good size handful of Lays lightly salted chips. They were so good and hit the spot. I was craving salt big time and could have eaten the whole bag - oh how I wanted to. But, I have learned the fulfillment of the craving is really a dangling carrot. Rarely do I feel satisfied. Usually my brain is busy busy and downing a bag of chips only directs my brain to other matters - a yucky tummy or a whole lot of guilt, which does help the busy brain. My youngest son used to come to me when he was hurt. Those hurts that just take a few minutes and they are gone but to him, and to me, those minutes would last a lifetime. Once I said "run in a circle and it will help". He did and it did! He is a big seven years old and it doesn't work as well now for him but last night I tried it for myself just for kicks. Surprisingly it worked. Run around a table or just in a big circle for 1 or 2 minutes and your brain will reboot and BING, the craving is gone. Try it!
