Brilliant.  Your future is so incredibly bright! 

Yes, Matt!  You are doing great!  Keep up this wonderful work.  And don’t you think that journaling, as you are, is helping you a lot?

Yes!  I love it!  I especially love that you threw a few bites of your bar away.  Not that the extra bar would have done any significant damage–it’s just a fraction of an oz–but it’s the mere fact that you threw it away means that your mental state is brilliant.  Right where I want it.  You understand.  You’ve got this!!!  And your so welcome!!

Have an AMAZING day tomorrow, and it will be if you eat just five bites!!!  

Congrats on identifying and successfully defeating “self-sabotage.”  The further along this path you go the more you will learn about your body and the control you mind has over it.  Awesome!

Yep.
