Tough one...
Its been a tough couple of days for me. I turned to my old friend "Chips"...I even invited "Chocolate" for a spin on the dance floor of my debauchery. However...Today I woke up in the same old bed, I put on the same old clothes, but I knew that I am not the same old me. The chips and chocolate had my yesterday, but they do not own today. I do. I forfeited yesterday because I forgot that worry, anger, and frustration are just feelings. They are not power. Sometimes they feel very powerful, but only because I allow them to. I will not regret yesterday because that would give me a sense of weakness, of failing. I instead choose to acknowledge it as an opportunity to know myself more, to grow a little, and to develop new strategies. Did eating change any of those issues that are bugging me? Nope. Would a spin on the bike have fixed them? No, but that ride would have made me feel more in control instead of less so. So, what do I know today? That I'm in charge of what goes in and what I feel, how I react, how I behave. I got the reigns...so where to? Jenny
