9 weeks...LIME CHIPS...SIZE 14....DETERMINATION!

In the middle of the 9th week and things a rolling pretty good.  New menu makes things go faster.  I love that.  I love when my nutritionist sends me my new menus and recipes and all that good stuff.  It makes the next 2 weeks go by faster.

Being in the middle of 9 weeks, I feel like a lot has happened.  With so many people around me, I would say that I still struggle with junk food.  I smell pizza and it overwhelms me.  I smell potato chips and I am in heaven.  2 days of last week, my husband made some guacamole dip for a party we were going to.  When we arrived to my daughter's apartment, i grabbed some lime chips and took a few dips in the guacamole.  I'm not gonna lie....it was DELICIOUS!  Even more, those lime chips.....wow! Why would someone invent those horribly delicious chips!!!  LOL.  Anyways, I took a few tortilla chips and dipped into the guacamole dip again.  I was done.  After that....it was over.  I ate my meal I had brought and enjoyed it with some home-made salsa someone had brought.

2 days later, we were back at my daughter's apartment eating left overs from the party (I was eating my food), but there was a little guacamole left from the party.  I didn't have the guacamole, but I did grab me like 8 more lime chips.  Ate them and then I was done.  After that I ate my food.

So why do I write about the lime chips?  Because I love them!  Ha Ha!  But you really want to know why I'm writing about the lime chips?  I STOPPED EATING THEM!  Back in the day I would of eaten half the bag or probably the whole bag in ONE SITTING.  I would of devoured the guacamole dip and paid the price later on the toilet!  I kept thinking about those chips I ate as we were driving home.  You really want to know how I felt after?  NOT GUILTY!  But I actually felt proud because I STOPPED!

This is what I realized:  LIME CHIPS taste good, i will always love them, i will always want to eat them, they have a lot of salt, they taste good, i want them, don't bring them to my house, I CAN STOP MYSELF FROM EATING THEM!

So yea, just in case some of you are wondering if I am going over board on this nutrition thing....well yea I am.  Why?  Because it is MY LIFE STYLE......

I've been asked many times...so will you ever get to eat pizza, potato chips, cheese, etc?  I answer...I CAN EAT IT NOW IF I WANT....and BELIEVE ME I WANT TOO.....but it's not WORTH IT....

I'm sure there will come a time where I will eat pizza again, eat a sandwich with chips, etc., but when that time comes....I'll make sure to write my blog while I'm sitting on the toilet NOT ENJOYING what I ate :)

I went to the groceries yesterday, and I knew I was going to run into meal time.  so I put the shaker with protein powder in my purse, while in line to pay, I grabbed a cold water from the coolers there, poured it in, drank it and asked the cashier to charge me for the water...DONE!!  Any other time, I would of grabbed a bag of chips right there where they are displayed, open it and eat!
