Give me strength

An incident that gave me some perspective:
The attraction that old habits can exert when you are at your weakest. I had a full day of training and exercise and was going to softball practice and I was rushed for time and had not prepared meals. Immediately, my brain said eat at a fast food place...it's fast, it's easy, and you deserve it given how well you have done the past two months. Wouldn't you know that for a split second I thought I do deserve it. Thankfully, I came to my senses and realized that my addiction hadn't gone away. Now, it is a lot better in that I don't salivate every time I go by Burger King anymore but apparently I haven't won the war yet. I have to realize that my emotional eating can be controlled but will always have to be monitored. Instead of the Fast Food, I had a nice salad from the supermarket.
