Talking soup...

I have identified a problem that I need to fix. I brought a sandwich and a can of soup to work today. I made the sandwich for lunch (yes, I make mine 'fresh' right before I eat it) and was not hungry for the soup. This is fine, I thought to myself, I'll have something for tomorrow.

But now, 3 hours later, I'm staring at the soup can. I want soup. Its not even the good, homemade Italian Wedding Soup that we made this weekend. Its Campbells Tomato... Condensed. I want it. It's looking at me... saying "Come get me!" And I almost gave in! ...Almost!

Then I had to ask myself: Are you REALLY hungry? Do you REALLY need that soup right now? Can it wait? No, No, and Yes. I only want that soup because it is looking at me. I want that soup because I can see it. I want to eat it because it is THERE. BAD BAD BAD BAD! Remember I said I could start a bad habit in the blink of an eye? Yeah... done.

"But... I'm creamy tomatoey goodness in a can!"

I don't care, soup. I'm not going to do it.

We started at Planet Fitness last night and I think I'm in love. They have one of those nifty 30 minute Express workout areas where you get to work each part of your body, alternating with steps. Oh! And I don't have to do reps with soup cans anymore, as that is worked into the workout. I also won't have to benchpress the cat again. I'm sure the cat is OK with this.

I digress...I guess the point is, I'm noticing my eating habits can be a bit... well.. impulsive. I'm making a body resolution RIGHTNOW. If I find myself going to get something to eat just because it is there, I'm going to make a nice hot cup of tea or get a glass of water... Something... but I'm not going to eat.

"But... what about me?"

Its ok, soup. I'll deal with you tomorrow at lunchtime.
