6:13 am
Enjoying the morning peace before the rest of the family wakes up.
I am really happy to be off on Sundays now- I used to work both Saturdays and Sundays so this is refreshing. Plus my husband is off today so we can all do something as a family.
Feeling a little low but hopeful about the future. I found an article this morning that reminded me of why we tend to eat more in the winter. It takes a little bit of pressure off of what feels like a compulsive behavior for me. I am reminded that I am not alone in this:
"You've probably got many theories about why you eat more than you should. But here's one to remind yourself about at least once a day: We eat in winter because we're biologically programmed to add extra fat to our bodies to help us cope with the cold. Squirrels do it. So do bears, groundhogs, and other warm-blooded animals. Eating is not bad, it's just what your mammalian brain is telling you to do in order to manage the cold. From your body's perspective, it is totally adaptive! But since you're not planning to hibernate for the rest of the winter (which would allow your body to burn off all the fat it's trying to store up), you have to find a way to redirect this impulse."
Here for 24 more hours of sobriety and hoping to stay binge free today. I did eat sugar last night but it was not a binge so I'll take it. Baby steps.
