Weight: 302 (-2 pounds!)
Mood: Triumphant
Today was a good first full day of being mindful of what I'm doing. It's amazing how powerful your mind is. All I did was get online last night, spend 5 bucks on a domain name, created a Blogger account, and now, I feel like I can take on the world. At least, I thought I could until I met the Chili dog from hell.
I was going along throughout my day being really mindful of my eating choices, a granola bar for breakfast, an apple at breaktime, drinking water instead of my usual Mountain Dew, and when I stop in at my parent's house for lunch, I open the fridge, and boom. Temptation practically slaps me in the face. Mom had made chili dogs the night before, and left one for me. This thing is ginormous. The hot dog sits atop a bun on a Tupperware plate, smothered in chili, and with cheese and onions begging me to eat them. My initial reaction was to utter the words "You gotta be kidding me!"
But, knowing that I'd have to justify pounding that dog down on here helped me realize that I didn't need it as much as my stomach thought I did. I settled for a salad with some chicken breast pieces and ranch dressing.
As good as my salad was, I think I might always wonder in the back of my mind how good that chili dog might have been. It's the dog that got away.
