My new way of thinking and living was tested today. I am noticing when I am feeling vulnerable, insecure and fragile, that I want to nurture my feelings with food.
But I fought back! Like a bandit!
And I think I won. :)
Luckily, about the time I started to descend into self pity, my beautiful, wonderful daughter texted me and invited me to lunch. She works at a hospital. A fairly new job. I at first declined, thinking I needed to get to the gym before teaching, needed to work on my lesson plan for blues camp...I had a list a mile long of things I needed to do. But then I stopped and said yes.
Because this is my only daughter. And I had not seen her in action at her new job. And I needed to pull myself up.
So glad I made this decision! We had a very healthy rice bowl and some very healthy laughter. Love that girl so much!
I am on my way to teach. And then afterwards I will hit the gym. I am trying to replace food addiction with exercise addiction.
I am down a few pounds. My belly is less bloated. But I need to remember that this life is about more than just appearances.
I need to remember to love and respect myself.
I am working on that.
Happy Thursday! :)
