Right now, I am hungry. Reflecting on my hunger I would say I am a 3 that is starting to lean toward a 2 on the Hunger Scale. But… it’s not quite dinnertime yet. So I am taking action and going to nosh on some salad to tide me over until it’s time to eat. This reflection is a big deal for me because it would be so easy to open up some chips and dip without even thinking about it.

It’s Father’s Day, and we are having a Whale of a Dad ice cream cake from Carvel later for dessert. If I want to have my cake and eat it too, I need to make some choices. Do I want chips and dip or cake? The Carvel cake is the winner today. This is how I’m learning how to live my life and lose weight, and some days are harder than others. For today, I was able to maintain control, and for that, I’m just going to say thank you and take the win.

For all the dads out there, Happy Father’s Day! I hope you are having a wonderful day with your families and friends. Let’s hear it for dads!
