Bored

Have you ever found yourself sitting there, maybe you are watching TV, or maybe reading a book or magazine, and all the sudden you have this overwhelming urge to eat. You are 'certain' you much be hungry. I mean after all it has been like what, maybe an hour or two since you have eaten. Well if you haven't experienced this let me just tell you this is the story line that flows in my life.

I could have just finished a great meal and be full, I mean really full satisfied and then it attacks. It is like it just comes out of nowhere and I am all the sudden feeling starving. So what do I do... I eat.

But am I really hungry, no probably not I am just bored. But the urge to eat is so strong that I just eat. This ever happen to you. Maybe not, but it is a reality so now I have to find a new way to spend my down time.

My tricks, brush my teeth, chew sugar free gum, or .... drink some good water with a little splash of lemon juice and either splenda or sweet n low. So far the trick work, but what I am really hoping for is for them to disappear.

Again a lot of this comes back to a battle in the mind. Can I be strong enough today to make the right choice? Today I can, and that is all I can speak for , I know that I have won the day, are there days coming that I will loose? Maybe, I hope not, and I know where the source of my hope comes from. But this is new, this is a new mind frame. WHen you are in the middle of the cycles of try, doubt, fail, give up, you can't reach this place. So, how did I move out of that cycle.

Grace. Love. Hope.

Not just that have been given to me, but that I desire to give it to others.

What will motivate you? What will break that cycle?
