Mind over Matter

Getting your mind put into a place where it sees food as only a fuel isn't as easy as it sounds.  The logic behind it makes perfect sense, it's being able to eat what is good for you opposed to what your brain tells you is going to taste good is the hard part.  I am armed with the knowledge of what to do, I just need to make the willpower to put all of those concepts into action.  Yesterday was a long day.  Stayed fairly busy all day at the cafe.  In the morning I am not hungry at all and only want my coffee fix.  At about 9 A.M. I make my slim-fast shake and that lasts me until about 1-1:30 P.M. then I start getting hungry.  My mind automatically thinks things like hamburger and fries or chicken strips with sweet & sour.  Both of those things being regulars I cook during the day and know those aren't the healthiest choices I could make.  The last couple days I have been pretty good eating a wrap or carrots to tide me over, but then night time is my downfall.  I have chips, ice cream and candies in my apartment that are so appealing to me before bed.  I need to clean house and move in more fresh veggies and fruits to help me stop the junk food binging in the evening.  I did not walk on the treadmill last night instead opting to walk around the woods at my parents property.  I guess the extra swinging of the arms to swat away the bugs counts are arm exercise too.  Lol
