Finding good in the bad

[Guest guest]

Last night I overdid it with potato chips and chocolate too. I knew I

had eaten too many potato chips because I just hadn't eaten these is

so long it was like I was making up for the 'gap'. Following that up

with chocolate that I really didn't want either resulted in my not

being very comfortable when I went to sleep and thru most of the

beginning of the night too.

I did connect with this 'yuck' feeling and thought - OK why? What came

to me was that I was still telling myself that I SHOULDN'T have these

things. What I needed to do instead was to ask myself if I was HUNGRY

for them. Diet mentality seems to be with me a bit still - hmmmm.

So besides the 'food OD/yucks', I had a small light bulb moment that I

hope will be there for me if/when this type of event pops up again. I

am not beating myself up over this which is great in that I feel I

will now be able to choose more wisely (for ME) in the future.
