I got a “Normal” Eating blog post in my inbox today that provided some food for thought. What sacrifices am I willing to make here? The idea of sacrifice gives me a knot in my stomach and almost feels like a trigger word. How do I sacrifice and not let it trigger overeating?
I am too much of a future thinker - Big Picture and all. That Big Picture thinking gets me almost every time. It’s too all-consuming and overwhelming. That’s when thinking “One Day At A Time” really helps me plus giving away my anxieties to my HP (higher power). These are the remnants of OA that still work for me. HOWEVER, I am pretty sucky at using these tools when I need them. Especially the “giving away to my HP” part. That simple meditation of giving away worry/anxiety/obsessive thoughts really works for me but I hardly think of doing it these days. Definitely need to work on that.
