Changing Habits

I’m not going to go on a diet this year.   At.  All.  I am, however, going to be sure that I eat better and exercise more.    Those are easy.    I have already gotten past the “must eat chocolate” phase of life.   Especially in the afternoon.    I finally realized that my candy in the afternoon want was merely a habit and half the time, I wasn’t even hungry.    My headbrain just said “it’s 2:00, go get candy”.     I think that was mostly a work habit because the office was closed for almost two weeks and the entire time I was home, with a dish of chocolate in the dining room I  rarely  indulged .

Good Thing #1  -  beat candy habit!  

This by no means is any statement that I’ve given up candy and chocolate, it just means that I will no longer mindlessly eat it.     A few years ago I broke the ice cream after dinner habit.   Hmmm, I seem to have survived, it helped keep the weight down and now when I have ice cream I truly enjoy it.
