Positive thinking

Following the committments I made yesterday, I read through my motivation file last night. The comments that most stood out to me were the positive thinking ones - about turning mopey, craving thoughts around, for example, when craving a chocolate think somethkg like

“Thank god I don’t have to eat that crap anymore” or “Wow, it feels good to resist that craving! each craving is a chance to lose more weight!”

Basically, i need to make a desision about what I am and aren’t going to eat, and I need to veiw that decision as a positive thing, not a deprivation. I need to stop moping!

Admittedly, it is a little harder to think positively in the middle of a dark, stormy winter, but I’m sure I can do it! From now on, I will practice hard at feeling upbeat when I resist cravings. I think this is a choice, and something that I can control.
