Food is powerful. Bad habits are powerful.
When things get rough, JAWZ is waiting. It is so tempting to fall back into old patterns and habits. I have been struggling with this for the past several weeks. My husband and I have been waiting for information on whether his employment was going to continue. We kept asking and they kept skirting the issue - until two days ago. We know now he will be let go at the end of the year. Even after a year living with the AHL principles, my first thought when I heard the news was - I wonder if I can eat my weight in Brownies.
Realistically, eating my weight in Brownies doesn't help anything. But most people cannot make that connection - they just know it feels good or tastes good to block out things with food.
I admit to eating a few brownies - exception! - but also to embracing the principles of our program.
Bright Train/Dark Train has been especially helpful to me as I try to look for the positive in this event. I take comfort in the knowledge that God doesn't give us more than we can handle and that the AHL principles apply and are helpful.
So, we'll see how things go.
