Skinny or Fries?

A few years ago, I used this question, "skinny or fries?" to help me make immediate decisions about what to eat, whether I was staring a burger and fries in the face, cake, candy, bacon, whatever.  It was shorthand for make the right choice now because you'll regret it later on.
After a great chat on Tuesday afternoon with my wellness coach, Kathy, I found myself saying it again.
Really- make the choice.  What is it that I want more?  I KNOW how bad I'll feel after eating junk so make the choice not to eat it in the first place.
I need some momentum now.  I think that I've been following my eating plan but there was that handful of chips..... and that spoonful of ice cream.... and some bacon....oh, and just a FEW chips and guacamole.  On one hand, it's better than I would have done before (try a heaping bowl of ice cream!) but it's enough to slow any progress to a crawl.
Time to stop trying to justify this way of eating and get down to business!  I have the food, it's prepped and ready to go, now it's just a matter of keeping laser focus on the goal and keep asking the question- skinny or fries?
