Up early but sleeping well so far while I'm away. We're doing well & the dorm is really shaping up. It should only take one more trip to Target today to get him fully stocked, equpped & ready to start the school year on Weds. Tomo I fly to Tallahassee to help oldest move out & back home. I'm feeling good, enjoying myself & doing my best focusing on eating mindfully with intention & attention as I stay my course gluten, lactose & sugar aware. While I know eating out every meal is never good for the diet, I'm trying to not obsess about every choice as its one week out of a future lifetime where I have the chance to journey forward on my road of healthy eating & living.
I've certainly had my moments though as I realize that as my anxiety or stress increase so do my obsessions about eating & my weight as well as my sugar cravings. Just have to keep reminding myself that for me praying, breathing, journaling & meditating really help, and that my inner true, healthy, grown up brain can take charge over the animal, inner child rebel brain that has the habit wired to go for sugar at those times. It's sounds so easy & makes such good sense, but can still be a struggle as I work my way through keeping on my healthy road and away from the sugar detours that can be deceptively alluring.
So, to keep building my healthy road today, I'll begin praying for serenity. And throughout this one day, and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal & express one at a time. I'm grateful for each & every one of you my wonderful FS friends, my family & other friends, having another day with my youngest before I say goodbye and having the health & wealth to enjoy this life I love.
