It starts with just a small bite

Losing weight is always a struggle. I am proud to say I have already lost a considerable amount of weight enough for people to notice it. But I am far from my goal. I know I will be tempted to indulge a little or to "reward myself" once in a while so I am taking it one meal at a time. This week has been a difficult week. I am PMSing so I am craving for fatty and salty food. So I decided to have a little french fries. I thought I deserve a little break from my self imposed diet. When I was at the fastfood counter I surprised mysef by ordering a double cheeseburger with a large fries and large iced tea. Oh no! The crew has punched in my order. I couldn't take it back. I told myself to calm down. On the way to the table with my large order my stomach growled. "So what if I overeat this time? Surely, I won't gain back what I lost with just one meal?" said the other half of my brain. "That is the start. Next thing you know, you'll be gobbling down more and more food. Then you wake up one day and realize you've gained more weight than you have lost right now." countered the other. "So what, I can always take diet pills" insisted the first half of my brain. "Well, if you want to take that chance. Go ahead and stuff yourself now." After a raging war inside my head, I had suddenly lost appetite. Hahaha! Needless to say, I didn't eat the burger and I only eat a few pieces of the french fries. Woohooo! I deserve an award. LOL
