Well, I made it through, and I am VERY excited about it! It took a lot of willpower, and it took a lot of thinking and planning. There was one particularly tough evening when they brought me a big plate full of fries with my meal and I wasn’t prepared, but I asked the waitress to take them away and all was good!

Today is the day where I decide rather or not I am keeping the habit, and for the most part… yes I am keeping the habit… BUT I will amend it a bit… I won’t eat anything deep fried in a batter, or french fries… which is pretty much what I have been doing all month (ground beef, for example, while technically fried in a skillet, was not on the list) so I will continue with my habit with one exception… on occasion I can have chips… if I am eating a mexican salad and it has tortilla strips, I am not going to spend ten minutes picking out the strips, etc.

I want to keep this habit, if for no other reason than I never again want to eat french fries, but I know that if I continue to limit myself in the ways that I have, then it won’t be possible for me… so I have decided that I will make this broken habit work for my life by allowing myself the occasional chip snack. I don’t plan on eating an entire bag of chips with my subway meal, and if there is a substitute, I will make it! But, this is how I plan to make this habit happen and fit into my life!
