So I'm thoroughly convinced that sugar comes from the devil himself and all the cakes, cheesecakes, cookies, pies and candy are his minions. LMBO, but seriously I would have to say that is my biggest weakness. You can have all the other extra stuff but put some cheesecake in front of me and it's pretty much a wrap.
LOL, food and I used to have a love affair, a very deep relationship. Why do we identify with the things that cause us harm? Well, it's no different from people who are abused and how they continue to find themselves in abusive relationships. You have to identify why the things that are bad for you feel good, cozy, and comfortable to you. For me, I'm a self-identified emotional eater. So I can be happy, mad, sad, angry, or anxious and I eat. Normally it's something sweet when I'm bored or angry and I'm bored most of the time, so what does this tell you? Yep, you guessed it, I keep something sweet on deck.
I am learning how to replace that need for sweets with some sugar free snacks. I've had to find other activities that take my focus off those cravings. People say it's okay in moderation but when you are first starting out, I think for me it's best that I just skip it completely. Why, you may ask? Well, would you bring crack around a crackhead (again no offense to anyone on drugs) NO you wouldn't; therefore it's best that I just stay away until I get this demon under control lol.
I feel like Kevin Hart, laugh at my pain. I've learned to find light in dark places. Life wasn't made to be perfect and none of us are. It's all about your perception to certain things. I don't care if you are skinny, fat, tall, short, or somewhere in between we all have something. The difference is when you are overweight people can see your something a little better. I'm creating the life I want. God gave us the canvas, paint, and brush. The question is now, what are you going to draw?
