JMA312's Journal, 05 Aug 16

ok day 5 of the 4 days off (the 3 day) still trying to keep it simple. I did eat the left over corn chips (at least no sugar or other stuff in them) that the kids left. I know, I know I SHOULD have thrown them away, but I didn't so that is then, this is now a new day and looks like NO tempting food in the house!!! AND I'm not buying any! So at least that is a step in the right direction and I'm not going to beat myself up about what was past only take one day, one moment at a time and plan to do better for now and for tomorrow :-) I feel good, I stayed stable on the weight and that is good. In the past I would have given up with one little slip like that and ordered out for pizza! But again that was then this is now and I am GOOD!
I made my plan for today and will stick with it. The weekend, as I've said before is my downfall. I did go to an OA meeting last evening and I'm glad I did, it helped keep things in perspective. I'm not sure I will make the meeting tomorrow morning as I also head a caregiver support group meeting right after it, but I plan on going and we will see what works.
A friend wants to go out to play pool and drink beer this weekend, but as I said in previous posts, IF I go I will go in with the determination to forego the beer. I really don't even like the taste of beer but I know if I start with one it is difficult to not overdo. Someone at the OA meeting last night was talking about how she 'looks' at the 'forbidden' food (food that starts a craving for her) and says to herself (sometimes out loud) "That is a killer, for me" and it is true, if it starts a craving and I know I cannot 'eat just one', it is a 'killer' for me! That really hit me and I will use that thought process and be conscious in my decision concerning food / fuel. Someone that is not an OAer probably can't relate, but those that are can. Have a good Friday all!

I can relate. When I figured out that I'm allergic to wheat, and how bad sugar is for me, I had to make a mental overlay for those foods. It's a skull and crossbones with the word POISON!!! under them. When I go grocery shopping, I use that picture over the bread and cereal aisles. It does help!

thanks for your comment mskestrela! Yes It 'hit' me when the other woman mentioned that, like WOW that sounds like it would work!

I think that most of us have mental tricks that we use to keep things moving in the right direction. I am constantly focussed on blood sugar....and use mental pictures of what can happen if I don't. Sounds like you have some great strategies.
