SLYONE 22's Journal, 30 Aug 22

I didn't just fall off of the wagon, I leaped from the speeding train. The last 11 days have been insanely out of control! We hosted 2 large family group BBQs. I have eaten well outside of my normal lifestyle most days! I have demonstrated why I have rules for myself about what foods are in my house. Like an alcoholic I can't eat just 1 serving of sweet and salty snacks and desserts. Once I get started with the excuses, I have a million of them. The weight gain is irritating but not insurmountable. I have experienced the food hangover and remember why I don't eat like that anymore.

The positives are starting another year healthier than the last one. I haven't skipped exercise during the binge. I have a firm grasp on why I don't eat that way now. All laundry, bedding and floors are done. Apparently guilt is a trigger to getting chores finished.

I am amazed that I felt this crappy for so many years! I didn't realize how much better I could feel by changing my WOE! Back on track today. Going to lift in an hour. I am seeing my way back from the dark side much sooner and the visits are much further apart.

Blessings on all of you for your honesty and modeling a variety of healthy lifestyles. The way is frequently a winding path with pauses and teaching moments thrown in for extra interest!
