ShyGuy's Journal, 24 Mar 16

I'm relearning something that I learned years ago. There's always going to be an event, an occasion, or a holiday that either pops up, or is on the calendar. All reasons to eat, and many times there will be cake, or some kind of high carb dessert or side dish. Over the past few weeks, and it continues, there's been at least 2 - 3 times each week, a treat that I've had to avoid, by either walking away, or purposely ignoring something which is sitting right in front of me. Such was the case, last night, while at church. I was serving, and there was a big container of assorted candy, within arm's reach. I mentioned to my crew chief that it wasn't easy sitting there and concentrating on my job, with the candy there, and being on low carb. Without missing a beat, she said, let me take care of that, and moved it to the other side of the room. I wasn't going to reach for it anyway, but it's nice that she responded so quickly, to support my efforts at staying on track. Someone had also brought in another birthday cake; for someone, but that was less of a threat since it was in the other room, and all I had to do was walk past it. Tomorrow is Good Friday, and I'll be serving again; no doubt, there will be more temptations to avoid, but I'll do it. :-)

I think people should start putting out foods that are healthy or at the very least, healthier, as an option to those of us who struggle.

I heartily agree. I went to church, this evening, and once again there was a huge container of candy sitting right in front of me. However, I thank God, that this time, there was some sugar free candy mixed in with the rest of it; so I grabbed a few pieces of that, had it at the ready, and I was good to go. I didn't give the cookies, someone else brought in, a second thought. :-)
