After yesterdays emotional eating brought on by refined sugar in a piece of gluten free brownie; I chose today to get back into focus.
TODAY IS A NEW DAY..
This morning I caught up with a close friend and cried on her shoulder about my plight yesterday. I actually cried at my feeling of fear of failure and my sense that I was no great example that I keep getting told I am. I could hear my self pity and doubt dribble out like an open wound.
As a true friend (whom happens to be a nurse!!) she helped me 'get over' myself and tactfully suggested I throw away the remaining offending brownie and brownie topped pie as it was obviously not going to do me any favours keeping it.
She is totally right.. I had clearly said to her.. 'I ate it because it was there and I gave myself permission to eat it because it was a waste not to'
And ya know what?...... She is so right..
So I got home and IN THE BIN it went.. it felt good.. it didn't hurt me and it was NOT a waste to throw away something so toxic to my body and mind!
It was a valuable lesson to remember its OK to THROW AWAY food! It's also ok to have days when there is a bit of chaos in my life.
I am stronger than I give myself credit and I refuse to fail!!
