I jus overcame temptation. I thought I would write right away and share my experience. All day I was kind of tired. This is downtime for me since I am a freelance landscape designer and not much is going on this time of year. I am low-key and don’t advertise and kind of like it that way. Guilt tells me that there should be no such thing as boredom since there are so many opportunities to volunteer every day. Anyway…guilt has taken me down some dark and murky paths in my lifetime so let’s not go there right now. (Okay…an aside…I do volunteer work but not just on a regular basis) Back to me…boredom=overeating I have experienced time and time again. So…I am at he grocery store still with these boredom feelings. Nothing looked that great for dinner… the weather is still overcast and dismal…dirty snow around..blah blah blah. Poor me…right? I get some things from the deli counter and the next area is the bakery. Even though sweets are not my downfall, I toy with the idea of getting some doughnuts, cupcakes or something. Now here is the good part. I give myself a little lecture about eating well and not eating well and where the two will get me in the long run. As I push the grocery cart I vacillate about going in one or the other direction. Then I think…”Okay…baby steps. Let me just get by the bakery aisle.”…Then …”Okay…let me just get by the chips and pretzel aisle.” I continue this until I am checked out and on my way. Phew! I made it home and here I am sharing my success with you. Hooray Me!
