The Life of Pie
Something has been happening lately on the carb front with me....BIG cravings. I made a deal with myself that I could eat anything I wanted if I did three things first: 1) drank water 2) ate a healthy snack (protein/veggie) 3) meditated for a bit on my health/weight and all the things that are important to me.
My carb cravings started to come with a visual...the tiger from Life of Pi. I read the book and didn't want to see the movie, but I was fascinated by the great job they did with the tiger animation. That tiger is amazing looking. And that's what my carb cravings look like to me. Occasionally while I was fulfilling my three requirements I would picture that tiger sitting in his little mind cage viciously swiping an arm out at me and kind of mocking me "yeah, go ahead and do your little 3 steps....I can wait".
So I added a 4th step. I've got to just stay the hell away from the tiger. A little piece of chocolate is not going to make him happy and stop swiping at me. He's got bigger things in mind.
