A helpful reminder to myself today is....
Remain responsible for my actions when
it comes to sobriety and food.
To be kind to myself as I continue on this
journey making healthy changes and choices
that will reflect the person I am and want
to continue being.
It has taken minutes, hours, days, months
and yrs to put the extra unwanted weight
on myself and that it wont come off with a
snap of a finger.
Today I will not eat anything to add unwanted
weight to my existing weight. I want to take what
I have and get rid of it. With each passing day that
I exercise and eat healthy then the weight will
eventually disappear. In time tho.
If the unhealthy food is not in the
house and I don't buy it for myself
then I wont eat it.
Remember that everyone's situation is
different and some of us may have family
with little ones to feed as well as a spouse
and cooking will need to be done.
However, like in my own situation, im
retired and only have my spouse and
each of us does our own thing when it
comes to food.
All, I can do is set an example of how I
am changing the way I eat and the foods
I buy and that's about all the control I have.
If my husband sees me being responsible
in how I eat then hopefully he will jump on
the band wagon of wanting to eat healthy
too......and he has taken note and is trying
with small steps too.
Anyway....
This morning I started off with warm
lemon water before my coffee followed
by oatmeal with blueberries, hemp seeds,
flax seeds, chia seeds and sliced almonds.
Full and filling.
Im heading to the store to get a bag
of lemons and mealworms for my little
feather friends. Oh an a bag of steamable
asparagus in the frozen section.
What is your plan and responsibility
for today?
