This is why success is not measured by avoiding failure

I struggle with compulsive overeating

Food is my drug of choice

I'm working on the reasons for that now

I had a great week according the the principles I laid out for my 30 days

I did not lay out impossible things to avoid because honestly, I do not know yet why I am attracted to them so intensely

When I eat out of emotion, it is definitely NOT because I'm hungry, or craving, or have a taste for something or any rational, conscious reason

This happened before I truly took hold of my day

I accept this

I'm admitting to this (even telling my hub)

I am working on the reasons for this

I stopped this (today)

Then I juiced (orange juice is actually AWESOME if you leave the peel ON)

drove my son to his friend's house for a sleep over

and cut back the azaleas

I felt a wee bit sad for this last thing...but only for a moment

we didn't plant them

they were here when we bought the house

they were planted too close to the house

they've NEVER bloomed

the cuttings will be great food for the compost bin AND the soil where they were is nice and rich! Perfect for some more edibles

I'm working on a healthier me
