Where did this will power come from?

Good morning all. I am feeling very proud of myself today. Not having eaten a crisp for almost five weeks I bought a 150g bag of lightly salted crisps on Monday, I have eaten some twice weighing out 25g (128cal) each time. There are loads left in bag and although to most people this will seem normal I am an addict and a multi pack rarely lasted two days!! don't know where I got this will power from but I am so thankful I've been able do this 🙌

Well done you! Time for a nice, non-food treat! Massage? Manicure? New pair of shoes? Gold star on a chart?

Well done Irmagee, I'm also a crisp addict, so know how hard it is to ration them. Doesn't it feel so much better though to save some rather than face the emotional backlash we impose on ourselves for eating the whole bag!

Great stuff, well done. I've been finding the same thing. Being so focused means I hardly have to use willpower at all.

Fantastic.
