Stop it now!
For some reason I've been eating these past three days more than I should, even when not hungry. I also haven't been sleeping. I am now on the upper cusp of my permissible weight.
I don't know where this is coming from. But it's not my job to have all of the answers. Sometimes I have to just left foot, right foot it. The reason may become clear, or I may never know.
But I DO know I can take care of myself. I'm going to the 6:30 am meditation meeting to get out of my head and get a positive jump on the day. From there to a gym. Then to the Doc's for an iron injection, and I'll give myself a B12 later.
I'll make my protein smoothie this morning so I get the most from my workout and don't get the afternoon munchies. I will bring an apple in the car in case anything on the road tempts me. I bought all of the healthy food yesterday, so I have a choice between the junk in my house or eating something that serves my body.
I will throw away that new canister of hard candy I opened yesterday (outside of the house...I'm not a retriever, but better safe than sorry) even though I spent "good" money on it. I am worth more then 2 or 3 bucks of abusement.
I will call a fellow wlser and commit to this and make a lunch date to stay connected and share mutual successes and shortcomings and get some ideas or maybe just a giggle or two. That will be my mini goal; to stay stictly on track until then, for starters.
And, really, that's all I can do about it.
So I won't get anxious or compulsive. I will maintain the level of self-esteem that allows me to respect myself and respect my body.
That's the game plan. I'll check in tonight and let you know how it goes.
