In a Weird Place Right Now

Oct 08, 2013

It is so odd that for the amount of advice I dispense that from time to time I find myself in unfamiliar territory. You would think that at a year out from surgery I would have been through just about everything. I seem to be in an odd place right now and I have not figured out the cause yet. Could be the new old job and old habits associated with this place trying to poke through but since reporting my overeating incident last week I have done it like 3 other times over the weekend and this morning while in line at the drug store I had an overwhelming urge to buy a donut that was in the case next to me in the checkout (way to go marketing guys) or to buy some real candy. I did not do either but the desire to do so was very very strong. In the past year I have been extremely good at ignoring those and they have not come up in a very long time. So why now all of the sudden. 

I did not get much sleep last night and I have reported in the past that lack of sleep does certainly cause some extra hunger but this wasn't hunger it was old school "I want to eat some freaking candy". I am thankful I found the strength stick to my guns but I did not like how strong the urge was. Maybe it was my body saying I didn't get enough sleep I want some cheap and easy energy. I hope. I hope it was as simple as that and not a whole new battle brewing in my future.

Just to re-iterate the war is NEVER over, you have to fight the good fight every single day. You may win battle after battle but never let your guard down because the war is NEVER over.
