FAT Chick on my Shoulder says "EAT This NOW"

does this happen to you- you are all set to be totally on plan food wise for the day and THEN the FAT Chick who rides around on your shoulder starts WHISPERING in your ear "Man, a cinnamon roll sure would taste good about now" I, of course, ignore my FAT Chick's comments when she first starts talking to me and I listen to the HEALTHY Chick (notice i didn't write the THIN chick, this is about being HEALTHY!) who says is a clear voice, NO, you don't need/want/desire cinnamon roll, your (insert on plan food item) is delicious and is everything you want and need right now....so then the FAT chick speaks up in a little bit louder voice in my ear " EAT THIS CRAP NOW" so i'm walking around with all this noise in my head eat this, no eat this.....it's ridiculous...
at times I'm able to completely ignore FAT chick, but i admit sometimes her's is the voice i choose, not the winning voice because i'm losing at my 60 yr old gal can run a marathon Plan if i let Fat chick win.

Today was a good example of why FAT chick has a chance to start talking to me. i ate a meal plan bar at 7:30 and went off to Lowes and Home Depot for gardening supplies (got some more veggie seeds, hooray!) and then a stop at Sprouts to stock up on salad fixings. by the time i got to sprouts it was 10 a.m. and i was hungry. so her influence wasn't too bad: i got a wheat french bread loaf and tore off a chunk to eat on the way home.
as i did that a light bulb went off in my head: i MUST get back to my old FAT chick battle plan, carry water, some sort of snack and fruit with me when i go to run errands. that way if they take longer i have HEALTHY Chick foods in my purse.
