It's All Good
The last couple of days have been pretty rough for me. Dealing with memories I would rather have let stayed buried because they are so hard to deal with. On the other hand, I can't heal if I don't deal with them. All of the emotional stuff I am going through is definitely affecting me with my diet. Since I have always been a Stress eater as well as a bad over eater. The emotional Stress makes me want to eat. It is hard not to cave in every day.
Today I did give in to temptation today and ate clams smother in garlic butter. I felt terrible afterwards and couldn't believe I did it. While the clams (very small.. 3 - 4 fit in 1 teaspoon) would have been okay in a bit smaller portion (I ate too many), the garlic butter is no where on my diet. Sometimes I just don't understand why I can not resist when I know my life hangs in the balance if I don't stay on track.
Tomorrow is another day and I will get back on track. I can't let this Food Addiction beat me any longer. On a happier note, I now have a wonderful Buddy to share our weight loss journey with. Sharing and supporting one another along with strength from God will make this journey easier than trying to do it all alone!!

I know the process of healing can definitely come into play with eating. I do understand the emotional stress makes you cave. Maybe you can write about it or do a bit of exercise? Try not to beat yourself up when you eat more or what you shouldn\'t. This just for me continues to eating more. I don\'t know
why I can\'t resist either. It is a work in progress. But you can beat this food addiction. You do have a positive attitude which means alot. Hang in there my friend.... XX
