Are you aware of your Tipping Point?

What is meant by Tipping Point?

It's that emotional point which separates being in control of what you eat from 'letting yourself go', eating whatever is around until you feel stuffed.

Let's see what this looks like in a regular daily setting. This evening I had a couple small brownies for desert. This was OK because I had accounted for them in my daily food budget. However, as often happens, I went back for a second helping, knowing that eating more would blow my daily food budget out of the water.

Just as I placed the extra brownies on a plate, I stopped and gave myself a moment to become aware of what I was feeling and thinking. Was I hungry? No. Did I need a sugar fix? Not really. What was I saying to myself? "Oh, today doesn't matter. I can start counting food points again tomorrow." Oh, how many times have I said that line to myself !

Just then I placed them back on the tray, covered them up, and felt as though I had been released from my own personal Groundhog's Day (The title of a classic Bill Murray movie in which his character experiences the same day repeating itself over and over).

How about you? Let's hear about your Tipping Point...
