In a single day, there are soooo many opportunities to do the right thing. I'm presented with a decision and it's up to me what I want to do about it....
Yesterday, I was smacked with craving after craving for a good part of the day. I had to keep deciding over and over what I wanted to do about it! I knew that they were related to that TOTM though and kept reminding myself of that. I knew I had nourished my body with healthy and sufficient nutrition and hormones were just being annoying. My decision was to have a couple of hand-fulls of wholegrain cereal 2 times and then leave out the bedtime snack to equalize the calories. I did have to give myself a strong "That's enough..." after the 2nd handfull, but it was enough and I got to bed without diving into the remnants of Easter candy still around the house, even asking my DH to put out of sight the special malted milkballs he had dug into earlier in the evening. I made it! I was glad that I had the awareness of what was causing the cravings and was able to "talk myself down" from the ledge of previous binge episodes.
Today, I had to take a box to the dumpster. We're expecting rain today, but the sky looked like it would hold the rain for a few more minutes so I took off for my quick jaunt around the perimeter of the grounds. Another opportunity presented....and taken.
So, I'm grateful for opportunities given and know that all these decisions bring me closer and closer to those goals! Thank you Lord and keep 'em coming!
Have a happy and grateful day everyone.
