Hi wonderful members, yesterday I got in my car three times to go get sugar why? Because it was sunny, I felt happy (and alone), I hadn't eaten in 5 hours, and "It's Friday night!" But I turned around, ate this dinner and then had some Reishi hot chocolate. If you have ever felt like you might not survive the night without sugar or being alone with yourself, you are not alone my friend. Even if you do go get the sugar, the noticing and naming of the feelings, while you drive there, is tremendous progress. If you have ever felt torn between a meal or sugar, sometimes eating more food can be the answer. If we overeat a carb like potatoes, that is still better than sugar because at least it is nourishment and the body can utilize it better than empty calories. The question is-is the food that we are overeating healthy? Please share an experience of yours, I'd love to hear. With love, Karen Steamed red potatoes and broccoli. Tossed in coconut oil with nutritional yeast and cheddar (from pastured cows). I ate 2 plates full.
