When I was young and I quit smoking, one technique that was successful for me was to avoid the places where I used to go that would subject me to the most temptation. In those days you could still smoke almost anywhere. I avoided bars, restaurants and parties until I was able to comfortably go to these places without feeling tempted to smoke. You can no longer smoke anywhere anymore, but eating junk food is another story! I’m one of those people who find it easier to stay on track when I don’t see the food, but once I spot a delicious treat, it’s very hard to get it out of my mind. Everywhere you go there is junk food staring you in the face. While I was standing in line at Chapters today, there was a shelf filled with the most delectable chocolate bars right at eye level. You have to look at them while standing in line and try valiantly to convince yourself not to buy one. It would be different if I knew I could eat just one and be happy. But the opposite is true for me. I feel that if I had one taste of chocolate it would be like sliding down the side of a chocolate sundae and blissfully drowning myself in the fudge.
