LindaLee Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 My biggest bugaboo over the last...oh, several months...has been caving to my sugar rats on the nights my husband is at his other home with his son. When he's gone, I crave ice cream, and last week I gave in. Today, as I was thinking about going home, I wanted ice cream soooo bad. But I knew I was feeling lonely and incredibly tired for some reason, and I wanted to be able to go to my support system and say, "Yay, I did it!" AND I DID! I went to the health food store and got some organic hot dogs for dinner and a couple of Lara bars to try (I won't eat them tonight) and some bubble bath <g>. Then I CAME HOME!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! I DID IT! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa Urban Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Great work! This awareness you are developing is priceless, and I LOVE that you rewarded yourself with a bubble bath instead of food. Well done! Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derval Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Good for you! Maybe use the nights your husband is away to schedule something fun for yourself, invite friends around for bookclub, or card/board game night, or go to the movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaLee Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Good plan, Derval...starting Monday, I have my Crossfit Foundations class on the two nights he's gone, so that should help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
