It has been a tough week.
We said goodbye to the goodest of dogs on Thursday. 17 years of pure love and happiness. Gone in the blink of an eye.
I feel okay. What would have been an 'excuse' to fall off that wagon and devour my feelings, I have fought it. I have stayed true to my new way of life.
Instead of a McDonalds, I made courgette lasagne. And it was pretty good.
But I come here today for another reason. I need the accountability from my online family.
Tonight we are having a (socially distanced) get together for my Dad's 50th birthday.
This means triggers. Lots and LOTS of triggers. Food, alcohol, food, people, food. Did I mention food?
And I understand that it seems like a mundane feat, but put a buffet infront of me...
I know what my caloric intake should be and I am aware of the calories I have left to use today.
I am also the first person to tell anybody that you can have anything in moderation. But it's finding that line of 'okay, you have had your moderated amount' and walking along it instead of jumping off.
I know me. I know that hours from now, I could be eating for the sake of it.
So, I wanted to make a promise. To you. No matter what happens tonight. Whether I stay strong to my plan of 'the moderation game' or it all goes horribly wrong.
I promise to try my best. I promise to use all the strategies and techniques I have learnt to make better decisions. I promise not to be so hard on myself if it doesn't go the way I plan. I promise to check in tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
And if you don't hear from me - it's been a disaster, send help.
