Tips on talking yourself down from that ledge

If you've ever tried losing weight in your life, or if you've been overweight at any point in your life, you will be able to relate to this.
Particularly early and long day at work as I had to be there by 6am, which meant leaving the house by 5am. Severe thunder storm so loud woke me up in the middle of the night and kept me up for an hour. Already low on energy. my low carb diet gives me no help (if you aren't familiar, low carb diets leave you drained of energy often) by the time I get home that 4th chicken breast waiting for me I cooked on Monday sounds unbearable. And there it is. Good old bran. "GO GET PIZZA AND BEER NOW!" I tell you not I was literally having an arguing match in my brain about justifying it.
"Go on your mid week gut check weigh in already put you at your week's goal."
"It won't set you back that much"
"it's so tasty, you haven't rewarded yourself in a long time for this"
"You're too tired to go to the store, shop, and cook something"

cravings to a person who love food and nearly impossible to battle away. If you've never been fat, you will not understand what I'm talking about. I would equate it to trying to stop snorting cocaine off a hookers stomach driving 100 mph down the belt line.

I'm sitting here writing this however enjoying a pulled chicken wrap with bbq sauce, spinach, and muenster cheese (7 net carbs by the way). How did I do it?

1. Give yourself 15 minutes before you cave in. Cravings like this will disappear as fast as they came on.
2. Grab a small snack, preferably something spicy. I always run to some home made beef jerky that has a wicked after kick.
3. Divert your attention. I usually play a quick video game match: words with friends, Awesomenauts, Peggle, etc.
4. Go look at pictures of people working out. Sounds dumb? Try it once. It's a quick reminder of what you're trying to accomplish
5. Hit your support group. Mine is my fitocracy community. I go read a few posts on how people are doing, and I see people struggling with the same problems I'm having. Makes me feel sane.
