Abstinent for ten days. new territory for me, I can't remember the last time I did this. And I'm not overexercising or undereating, I'm just living. It hasn't solved all my problems, hasn't turned me into a different person, hasn't quelled my sporadic mood shifts, but I think it's doing its part to help.
It's like I'm waking up from a bad dream. Life goes on, things to do, that fear reflex still kicking in when newness beckons. But I am taking on those challenges, not tring to forget them with food.
Ten days - so little, but so significant. Celebration not always through a piece of cake. Sugar is not my master. Food is my fuel, not the bane of my existance. Food: a delicious and necessary compliment to life, but life, aferall, is more than food.
