The sun has gone under the clouds and moved away from the center of the city where I find myself this afternoon. Sunless. Slightly gray and rainy. Generally blah. Tired of people. This is the time when I often turn to food for excitement. I wonder if I will always experience these daily lulls when I feel no inspiration at all?
Food can be exciting. Food can draw me out of myself for a few minutes and make me feel really good. The problem with binge snacking or binge anything is that once the binge is over, one knows that it was not worth it. In fact, it is usually more than "not worth it"...something which started out so good, with spit-fire quickness evolves into a monster which threatens health, wealth, good choices, good relationships, success and joy. Wow...should any item of food ever hold that much power over me?...Easter peeps? A frozen burrito? A bag of salt and vinegar chips? A chocolate covered cherry? An over-priced and over-sugared coffee drink from Starbucks? Really? There is more to me than just the bumpy tastebuds on my tongue.
I need to make a list of 1,000 things to do besides eat. In fact, I think I shall find a list on the internet today and start acting on it. I know I will not overeat today because I do not want to...even though I am bored. I know I will exercise today because my Ipod is charged up and ready to go. The weather is boring but not bad, so I have no real excuse. I know I shall follow my same routine today because I see day after day that is working. I am still hanging with a 30.5 pound loss. Tuesday afternoon...not that exciting but worth living to the best degree I can.
