My Best Accomplishment This Week: Fruit

When I was growing up one of the things that frustrated me most was when I told my mom I was hungry and she would respond, "Eat a piece of fruit." Even better was when she told me, "Drink a glass of water."
This week I traded those frustrating memories into positive lessons. Tuesday I found myself just sitting at my desk staring at my apple - it was 10:30 am - too early for lunch but I was so hungry. The apple had been on my desk since the prior Friday and I was worried it was too ripe and too soft (I cant stand it when they get grainy). My thoughts would shift from the apple to the the chocolate in my drawer. It sounds so dramatic but when I am hungry, all sorts of craziness develops in my mind. I didn't want the apple AT ALL - but I was hungry! Then I realized I was thinking way too much about the damn apple! Just eat it!!! I grabbed the apple off my desk. As soon as I bit into it and tasted how sweet it was, my whole mood changed. It was perfect. I didn't even want the chocolate anymore. I enjoyed every bite.
