Hi Cherri

Rejoicing with you and your new habits.

I do find that having a preplanned menu works really well for step 3 and for budgeting.

And eating before shopping is another wonderful habit.

: Hi Everyone,

: Just wanted to share a victory I had
: today. It was grocery shopping
: day, so I made my meal plan (I've
: been doing this for budget, not
: necessarily for RR, but it will
: transition nicely for step 3 : ),
: and headed off to the store.

: When I got to the parking lot, I
: realized it was lunch time and I
: had left the house without eating
: lunch, so I was very hungry. In
: the past, I frequently went
: grocery shopping on an empty
: stomach. But not today.

: Even though I was eager to get the
: shopping done, I stopped at a
: nearby convenience store and
: bought a salad with chicken
: breast, egg, blue cheese (lots of
: protein) and ate it prior to
: shopping.

: When I did finally shop, I was able
: to make better choices and enjoy
: the experience a lot more than
: when I'm hungry.

: These little victories are what help
: keep me going, and I can't believe
: how much my habits have changed
: over the past month and a half

: Blessings,
: Cherri
