If try to just sit in the other room and *not eat* that doesn't work. <br /><br />My two best replacements: <br />1) An enormous bowl of air-popped popcorn. Made at home, 10 cups in a bowl, dressed very lightly with spray oil. Filling, good mouth feel, good fiber. Just remember to have tooth floss on hand afterward. <br /><br />2) Some fidgety chore that requires both hands, and won't tolerate crumbs. If I'm just on the laptop, I want to be eating. But if I'm knitting or something, that doesn't mix well with eating and keeps me busy until the next real meal rolls around. <br /><br />whitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156853764801606718.post-66442849234064269072011-03-23T23:39:41.808-04:002011-03-23T23:39:41.808-04:00Ok, joke's over.

Are you being true to yourself when you eat a brownie, or are you being true to yourself when you have an apple and go for a run. Which self is truer, the you that wants a brownie, or the you that wants to run that half marathon in September. That's a rhetorical question, or course. Obviously you'd rather run the marathon than eat the brownie. But the brownie is here NOW, and the marathon isn't. But every apple is a step in the marathon direction, while every brownie leads down that dark road of self-loathing. You don't have to go there. If you need to quit sugar cold turkey, I've no doubt that you'll do just that.Marisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156853764801606718.post-29323780517756569212011-03-23T18:55:28.690-04:002011-03-23T18:55:28.690-04:00Thanks Carol, that is a great quote!
