This time of year my will power over chocolate goes out the window. All the lovely chocolates out there just sitting there in their shiny packages. Not fair.
I am overweight. The baby weight I had with my son has now tripled. Most of it is because I eat for comfort. Quantity is my problem. I have cut back in portions...a little, but not enough. Food should not be my source of comfort. I can enjoy a piece of chocolate and it won't bother my weight, but I don't do that. In fact, I just ate two pieces since I sat down. It's an addiction. Addictions are controlling.
I need to break from this addiction. So here is the battle plan.
1. For every piece of chocolate I eat, I must drink ten ounces of unscheduled water.
2. I will allow myself to enjoy a piece of sweets a day. NOT BINGE, but enjoy ONE piece.
3. I will work at praying or singing when the strong feelings of a binge come on.
4. I will pray continually for self control in the area of food.
I hope verbalizing these will help me keep on track. Not only does candy add extra weight, caffeine in chocolate affects my Meniere's.
Please keep me in your thoughts.
