FAILURE
Done in by a tangerine that I forgot to remove from my lunch bag. I saw it in the bag and reached for it, peeled it and realized halfway through eating it that I was SNACKING.

Mindless nibbling... I must develop ways if thinking before I reach to eat!Not discouraged, just looking to do a better job tomorrow! [/b]

Success!! No seconds, No sugar No Snacks

I am so used to grazing. My lunch "sack" was very light today. I left all the snacks home!

SUCCESS

Tried to "graze" around 11:00 a.m.this morning. Walked all the way downstairs to the microwave, nuked my food, walked all the way back upsairs to my desk, sat down, and realized that I was not hungry. I did not eat. Grazing is habit but, I m determined to break it.

SUCCESS

I came, I saw, I did not eat it all!!!!

SUCCESS!!!!!

Went to breakfast after church, around 9:30 a.m., had my favorite, Creamed Chipped Beef...
