Challenge accepted.
The kids like tortilla chips so there’s pretty much always a bag in the house. I can take them or leave them, but sometimes I’m bored and slightly hungry and so I eat them.
Except not recently.
I had yet another experience of looking at the tortilla chips, having the quick debate in my head with myself, and not eating tortilla chips.
I will probably write about this 500 times until I get bored with the same thing happening, but this is good muscle memory for me. Hard boundaries are set, remembered, and respected. If I can do this in the small things, I can do it in the big things.
More importantly, they are all big things. Or small. A push-up or a tortilla chip? They are the same because the internal hard boundary set and respected is the thing that matters.
