DAY 84: Kicking the Habit

Submitted by Live to Eat or ... on Sun, 07/30/2006 - 8:02pm.

I know what this sounds like, but I wanted to give an update on a previous entry I made.  A few entries ago I told you about my food addictions and that chips and salsa is my downfall.  I literally ate the combination almost everyday either at home or at a restaurant.    My addiction came from working so long at a Tex Mex restaurant, and I still followed my craving long after my departure from waiting tables. 

            When I wrote the entry concerning this topic, I had been working on my solution for about a week, and I am proud to report that I have had chips and salsa only twice since.   Both of these occasions were at a restaurant, and just the other day I made a conscience decision to go to a restaurant that was not Tex Mex, so there would be no temptation.  I am not saying they are bad, but for me I need to cut back and taking it out of the picture all together is the best way for me to control myself.  This must sound corny, but I am really trying to eat healthy and this was definitely a hindrance for me.  Now if I want salsa, I only eat it on eggs (whites only) or with celery.
