Can we change

I think fundamentally we can change. I do not know how we do it or why it happens but we do it. My dinner today was broccoli, my dark salad and the vinegar/oil dressing and then I had the rest of that stir fry concoction from yesterday. It was great the second day around. Must remember to not forget onions and water chestnuts ...oh also mushrooms to add to it next time and make it bigger so it lasts for a couple of days.

But I was contemplating just now...three.five hours after dinner that I might be a little hungry. I thought for a second about the snack machine behind me. (nothing in it should I eat) I thought nope there is nothing there. I went and refilled my 20 oz Rubbermaid bottle with water and looked at what was actually in there. The only thing that briefly caught my eye was the peanut m&m's. But only for about 5 seconds...long enough for me to think is it worth it. Then as I walked away I realized I think I am fundamentally beginning to change. I know it is not set in stone yet but I think I am learning how to make decisions that may benefit me. That is good.
