To Frig or Not To Frig (after eight)

Wanting some thing so bad it hurts (the weight loss)... seems to make the attempt harder. When the scale moves to slow, stress chimes in, or emotions mess with you, the negative mutterings can nudge right in. Negativity can be sneaky. A little friendly voice that falsely reasons with you about doing things originally planned out differently. ~So what if it is midnight, just a few bites, and a few more. ~Poor baby your so wiped out forget exercise. ~The scale is down, sooo go for it you deserve it. ~They're eating/drinking it why not you? And on and on. Shutting down those voices can be one of the hardest elements. In the end those ramblings are not friends. It seems they get something from side tracking the plans. Not sure what yet. The momentary enjoyment or escape is never worth it no matter how much they claim it is. In the rest of life I'd probably shrug off a real person trying to get me to do something foolish or wrong. Need to use that for those pesky notions. As for tonight the rest of the family's leftover buttered noodles (non WW) are staying in the frig. and I'm popping on the ipod, bye bye voices not listening.
