restraint

So last night as we were relaxing after dinner, my husband had jelly beans (my favorite). I at some point had Atkins chocolate covered almonds. Then as a someone on a show was eating potato chips, he thought that potato chips were a good idea. A part of me wanted a chip and he used to offer the folded chips to me, but he didn't offer any. I drank water to tell myself that I didn't need anything. About an hour after that, he got a handful of something else. I was sitting there thinking this is either a test or torture.

So I behaved and restrained myself from getting something that I didn't need. It was not easy last night. I am hoping that someday I will not even have the desire, many days I don't want it anyway.

Drink your water through the cravings, walk around or find something else to do to get away from the urge.
