4:17pm: Had a little too much sweets today. I typically can stick with a small piece of chocolate but then a co-worker brought biscotti and chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies and I wanted to try them. Well, I did but kept to one of each. By the time I finished the shortbread cookie, I got the sugar buzz again! It's more self-sabotage! Anyhow, as much as I enjoyed eating the cookies, it's best that I stay away. I've learned that I've become more picky on my sweets since I've gotten more sensitive to sweets. However, I still want to put more distance between my sweets eating episodes. I may have to go back to the naturally slender eating strategy so I can continue to remind myself of the aftermath of such sabotage.
Success: 1) Recognized that I've been eating out of boredom and anxiety this morning and need a new strategy to deal with that. 2) Managed to get out of bed a little earlier to do a full 40 min yoga session.
I'm grateful for: 1) Renee's help and guidance on IOWL. 2) all of you who comment on my journals. 3) feeling that I have choices in my life and know that I can create my reality.
