Key to Success

I figured it out! I'm so happy! I've learned the key to success when it comes to preventing binging! Do you want to know what it is? Do you? Huddle around...closer, come on, don't be shy.

The Key to Success is.......(drum roll please.....)

STAY BUSY!

That's all. That's all I have to do to not eat uncontrollably! Really, does this work for you guys? Now, how do I get myself to want to stay busy? My problem is that I like to watch TV at night to relax at the end of a long day. And I'm addicted to watching certain shows. I DVR them and watch them at my convenience.

Yesterday, after work, I went for a quick run (30 mins) because that's all I could afford to give myself. I'm hugely behind on homework and needed to hit the books! So my night was, run, dinner, shower, books! And I sat and did my homework for 3 hours! Pretty much all night long. Didn't even get up to use the bathroom! Then after homework, I sat down to watch the rest of Dancing with the Stars and eat 1 snack. Count them...ONE! And off to bed it was!

I know, I really don't need a snack before bed, but well, I wanted it! STOP JUDGING ME!! :)
