Okay so my first road trip since I began this journey one month ago.  I went to Kingsville and back in one day.  I packed my lunch and snacks and off we went.  Everything is going great and then about 50 miles into the trip the mind starts saying "Eat something you are bored, it will help you pass the time, it is a boring ride, boring highway, boring, boring....eat something, it will help."  I start to think "Wow, that is how easy it is and how programmed we become to just pick something up and put it in our mouths because we are bored."  I tell myself I am not hungry and I don't eat anything!  Around 75 miles it starts again!  Still I do not give in.  At 110 miles into the trip I do have my lunch and all is well.  The mantra does come and go throughout the entire trip because as I said it is a very boring ride; however I did triumph and not just eat for the sake of killing my boredom.  It was definitely a reality check though because I was now in the real world and not in the safety net of my home where I could move around and do something or go for a walk, I was a prisoner in a vehicle with snacks! They were healthy snacks, but eating them just because I was bored would have put me back to where I started from.  I have worked too hard to step backwards.  It was a refreshing experience to know at least this one time I did prevail armed with my common sense and newly aquired knowledge.
