Yesterday presented some challenges. The day started great with another hour of Callanetics and a delicious Cinch Vanilla & Peanut Butter Shake for breakfast. I was feeling great.
With my husband being out of work, we now eat lunch together. It was after lunch – immediately after lunch- that the anxiety started. You see after lunch my DH grabbed a bowl of animal crackers to eat….listening to the Crunch, Crunch, Crunch…..Ugh! The thing is I don’t even care for animal crackers. They are not a trigger food for me. I didn’t want them. But I couldn’t watch and listen to the mindless eating of them one after the other. Crunch… crunch… crunch… - like Poe’s Telltale Heart. Lol I felt my anxiety level start to increase. So I left. I went downstairs to my office and did some work.
About an hour or so later, I went upstairs for a cup of tea and smelled the aroma of fragrant cinnamon - my DH was eating a bowl of oatmeal. I know he wasn’t hungry. He knew he wasn’t hungry. He was eating out of boredom, like I’ve done so often. I got my tea & called a friend. I am glad to have tools like my list of non-food activities that enhance my life to rely on. J
So, yesterday presented some challenges.
More importantly it offered me an opportunity for successes.
I Am Worth This Work!
Onward,
Lisa
