Control

Before I ate something bad I would think, 'I 'm in control, I'm not going to let some diet tell me what to eat', so I would over indulge in whatever I was eating or drinking because I wanted control.  When I started this whole process I thought to myself I have to give up my control over food and eat with "they" (the diet) tells me to eat.

Boy did I have it all wrong!  In just two short weeks my mind has been completely changed!  I was reading in one the the Weight Watcher weekly pamphlet and came across something that has forever changed my thinking about control

"Go back to your inspirations: Why are you trying to lose weight?  Who's in control, you or the food?" - Kay

Then it hit me!  All this time, I've been thinking I'm in control, when really the food was controlling me!!  Now when I see something that I want to overindulge on, I'm going to remind myself that I am in control, not the food.  I've always wanted control over what I eat, and I did, I just had the wrong mentality for it.

Now, I just need to learn how to control my free time and work out when I have some, I'm totally failing in that area!!
