I've finally mentioned to my mom (my bff) that abstaining is a struggle at times. It has helped because it puts my challenge into the light a little further. When I mentioned it, I used my weight as my main reason for abstaining. She reminded me that overindulgence is a struggle in our family... Whether it's alcohol, food, sleep...very accepting and just reassured me that my efforts to abstain are best and serving me very well. It felt good to say out loud what I think she already recognized.
Not gonna lie, I've been tempted and hearing that small, obnoxious AV this week. It's always when I'm hungry and tired. Always. That's why there are grapes and a smooshed string cheese in my purse. I won't get caught hungry, easy fix on hand. It feels so good to be smarter and more honest now.
Phoebe, I'm glad you shared with your daughter. The accountability is golden.
Stay well everyone. We got this!
