Confessions of a sugar addict

Day 10

Just a quick post before going to bed as not feeling great.

Fine in terms of food today. I was stuck in loooonnnngggg meetings all day and no snacking options. It occurred to me that I used to go through meetings no problem without food and yet recently, just before joining OA, the thought of going from 9.30am to 1pm or 3pm to 6pm without food would panic me and I’d started taking snacks into meetings with me. That seemed so dysfunctional today now I’ve taken a step back from that kind of behaviour. I also noticed no one else snacks during the meeting!

Child3 is sick today so I’m working from home tomorrow unexpectedly. Had to nip to the supermarket after work to buy ingredients for lunch. I was hungry, it was late. It was an awful idea! But I kept my focus and stuck to my shopping list. This evening I’ve started feeling iffy too and my stomach isn’t feeling good at all.

But one notable thing to record is that the Saint apologised if he seemed off last night. So maybe it wasn’t just me 😉 or maybe because of the serenity prayer and me not making the situation worse he could see his behaviour for what it was rather than blaming me for doing anything.
