The pastry was 50 per cent emotional eating and 50 per cent real hunger.

Went back to eating healthily today. I craved a sugar fix, 2 boulangeries (bakeries) were on my path, I thought really, really hard about getting a pastry ( I will take Chromium again for sugar cravings). Instead, I went into a cafe and had café au lait, without sugar and the peanut covered chocolate that was served with the coffee. That's it!

I am very proud of myself.

I am knowledgeable about nutrition, that's not the problem there, but I do have cravings, and they are not easy to defeat. Yesterday, was a not-so-good day,but then I met up with my friends, we had a nice dinner and nice wine ( my other weakness) and I felt better. For some reason, I woke up feeling lighter today! It looks like I am losing weight. I had a up-hill walk and it was my work out for today.( 20 minutes mostly going up and 20 going down). I decided that I was going up-hill in more than one way today, I passed 2 bus stops on my way up and, even though I was tired, decided to not indulge in taking the bus!

There is a special event I am going to attend on June 5 and I am envisioning the perfect dress for it. That's my motivation.

NLP sounds great, I have 2 NLP books and intend on reading them, and read anything that can help me control my mind and direct its power towards health and success!

Once I find the dress, I will hang it in my room for motivation.
