The unthinkable happened

Today is a day off, and normally that's when my bored eating happens. While I didn't eat super healthy foods, I didn't have any chips or cookies. This is huge. HUGE! I love chips and I love cookies. I especially love them when I'm home and it's a day off and I'm relaxing.

I went to the grocery store this morning and stocked up on fruit and milk. I didn't buy any junky extras and came home with my fruit, milk and deli meat for school lunches. I didn't run to McDonalds for lunch, I came home and made lunch, and made dinner. I drank 2 bottles of strawberry rhubarb tea.

I decided to have a Coke. While I am drinking a lot less pop, I haven't completely quit yet. I hate the thought of wasting money on items already bought and when I see people on tv and movies throwing out perfectly good food because they're suddenly vegan, my eye starts to twitch.

So, I opened a can of Coke. I had 3 sips out of it. Now for the other unexpected surprise. I didn't want it. I had no desire whatsoever to drink it. I had been thinking of it most of the day, just waiting to have it. Not wanting it never happens! Maybe by pop #3 I start getting sick of it, but never the first one.

This is the progress I've been waiting for and is motivating me. I cooked at home, I did not get any junk food at the store, I did not pick up McDonalds on my way home, I did not crave cookies or chips. I did not finish that Coke.

I can do this.
