Christmas Happens!

Thoughts for the Week…
Well I didn’t have that
warrior-like mentality during the Christmas holiday like I knew I was going to
need. I ended the week with 3 smileys, 3 frowny faces and
only ONE star day. For as jiggly, bloated and fat as I felt, I was only up 1.8
pounds, putting me back to 3 pounds away from my goal. It’s been since right
before Thanksgiving that I’ve been SO CLOSE to meeting my goal. I’d really like
to weigh in next week at my goal weight.
Even though Christmas
happens only once a year, there are TONS of other events that also “happen only
once a year”. I feel like that has become an excuse or a justification we give
ourselves to eat or drink something. Our bodies don’t know it’s a special event;
it’s our minds that make us think we should eat something just because it’s my
birthday or it’s Christmas or it’s Friday!
As food addicts, every day we are living on unstable ground. One bite of
something can trigger ourselves to hit the f-it switch and dive off the cliff
into either lapse or relapse. A lapse is a one time/one day slip up. Relapse is
a full-fledged diving back into our old addictive habits. Yes, holidays happen
and birthdays happen and guess what? Fifty-two Fridays happen! And although they
are a part of life, at some point we ARE going to lapse and we ARE going to
make bad choices. But, we need to make those bad choices fewer and far between.
