What more could a girl ask for -- back at goal, cleansed mentally & physically, and feeling great with no sugar cravings and again easily staying my course gluten, lactose & added sugar free. And while, of course, my inner critic & pessimist wonders how long it will last, for now the rest of me is happily going with the flow, ready to face this one day & deal with what it brings.
Still I can't help but wonder (unfortunately for all of you... aloud), why it's so easy sometimes & sometimes not so much. That's life, I guess. And for me it seems, the more stressful, busy, overwhelming life gets, the more I struggle continuing to eat & live healthfully, although I know, now more than ever, that adding the ill feeling, depression, anger & frustration with myself that sugar and/or overeating brings only increases my stress & anxiety. I must keep reminding myself of that for the next time stress & emotional eating try to rear their ugly heads. But not today!
Instead today, I'm off to tennis this morning indoors (luckily because we're getting much needed rain), then errands & hopefully will finish the quarterly bookkeeping work that needs to submitted before I head to Block Island on Fri for a long weekend away. But first, I'll pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And throughout this one day and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'll continue to pray, breathe, journal & express while being grateful for feeling good & easily living and eating healthfully, my wonderful family & friends including all of you, and getting back to the life I love. xoxox
