Day 10

They say it takes 21 days to break a habit. I am 10 days into breaking my food habits! However, if you have an addiction, then professional help is recommended. I hope Dan's professional help is all I need!

This morning I woke up and did not feel like cooking at all. So, for breakfast I had Greek yogurt with some all natural granola in it. I felt good. Got to school and during my 4 hours there, I ate a Cliff bar and a bowl of fruit salad. Not too bad, however, I was starving when I got out of class. I had to hit the grocery store to pick up things for dinner. What an almost huge mistake that was!

I walked into Publix and the smell of fresh baked bread hit me. I never noticed the smell like that before. It has been so long since I had white, yummy bread. My mouth started watering as I was walking by the bakery to get to the produce section. I tried to keep my eyes focused on the floor but I occasionally looked up and then wished I hadn't. I thought "If I grab a loaf of french bread and devour it in the car and no one saw me, does that count?"

I finally made it to the produce section but none of it looked as delicious as the bread. (sad face)

I got what I needed and started walking to the cold section. On the way there, I had to pass the deli.....the yummy, delicious deli with those scrumptious sandwiches that I missed so much when I lived in Texas. I was super excited to move back to Florida just to have a Publix sub and now I had to pass that section. OMG.....it was hard! Then there are the juicy chicken tenders. The angel and devil came back on my shoulders..."It is chicken and you can eat chicken." "But it's loaded with carbs." "But, are a couple of pieces really going to hurt you." "They are fried..don't eat them." UGH!!!!! I wanted to just scream.

It was such a hard decision but I passed the section, got what I needed and made a dash to the register before I gave in. My stomach was growling even more now. I needed to get home!

I made it home!!! I didn't cheat!! I'm so happy for that now!!! (Well, my body is happy but my mind is not.) LOL

I know I can do this! It's hard, but it's worth it!
