Day 1: Pausing before sugar

Day 1.

Couch, favorite show, snacks nearby, same setup as usual. My hand went for the candy before I realized.

I paused. I remembered why I wanted to eat healthier, to feel lighter and more energetic. To look better for the upcoming reunion in March! I swapped the candy for an orange.

The craving didn’t vanish, but the pause before grabbing candy made me feel in control. Small win: I chose consciously instead of mindlessly snacking.

Anybody else on a similar journey or experiment? :D
